hour later that Simpkins knew

and that one of them, John, was
drowned.

Club Will End
Season In Debt
Officers of Baseball AssOci-
alton Say Season Is a
Financial Failure
May Plan Carnival
Must Do Something to Get
Clear of Burden Before
Game Starts Next Year
Directors Meet Monday.

Despite the playing of the Pleas
antville Baseball team, playing
which has put the city in first
place in the South Jersey League
the first half of the pennant race,
and kept it in the fore so far DUR
ing the second half of the fight,
the Association backing the team
will be $500 in the hole at the END
of the season, it was revealed yes
terday by high officials.
Because of the indebtedness OF
the Association, it's officers are OF
the opinion that Carnival or SIM
liar affair will have to again be
given this fall to keep the Asso-
citation out of debt, and let It start
clear next spring.
Directors OF the Association Will
meet Monday night in the CITY
Hall, to discuss the situation.
Mayor Charles E. Jackson has
called the session.
st lust seems as though the
people of Pleasantville don't want
a ball team Councilman George
Englehardt, an officer of the Asso-
citation and supporter OF the team,
declared yesterday.
I'VE have one OF the champion
-
ship teams in the league. we
give the fans an excellent game
every Saturday at the ball park,
and despite this we are not sup
ported.
And we keep salaries OF play
ers down to the minimum figure.
II would be almost impossible for
any other club to get the players
we are using together for the
same price"
Certain officers of the Associa-
ton were of the opinion that 1t Is
possible that, because of the lack
of support, baseball in the CITY
may be dropped for a few years
until the people get an appetite
for the National game, and start
attending the contests.
The team has played some eX-
cellent baseball. taking the league
leadership at the start of the race,
and keeping in the fore to win the
frst half of the league contest.
So far the second half of the race
the nine has kept in the lead, and
has an excellent chance to win
the league leadership again.

SeparategBus Roads
Asked in New Jersey
Assemblyman Olden Says
Large Vehicles Crowd
Out Those Who Pay

Separate highways in New Jer-
sey for exclusive use of big motor
; buses and freight trucks will be
proposed to the next Legislature
by Assemblyman Walter H. o.
den, of Mercer county as a means
of conserving the present system
of roads.
Mr.. Olden calls attention to the
wholesale ripping of roadways by
trucks, the owners of which con-
tributed nothing to the cost of
maintenance. In contrast to this,
the Legislator said railroads are
obliged to own their rights of
way and pay heavy taxes. Mr..
Olden's statement continues:
"It was never intended that
these highways should be usurped
by enormous vehicles for COM
mercial purposes that are crowd
ing the horseman, the AUTOMOBILE
list, the farmer and the manufac-
turer off the roads which their
taxes construct.
ut may be that there is neces-
sity, and there probably is, for
the new methods of transporta-
ton, conducted by buses and
trucks. | propose at the next
session of the Legislature to take
up this question for consideration
and ask the cooperation of all
automobiles of the State, bust
ness man and manufacturer, who
are interested in the preservation
of the highways for the use for
which they were built"

Proposed Bear Swamp Development
High Light Of Week in Real Estate
Low Land to Be Improved
and Called Ansley
Park.

Announcement of the proposed
development of the old Bear
Swamp land on the S. Shore road
into a residential section which
will be known as Ansley Park,
was the high light of an inactive
week of real estate on the Main
land.
The development is to be made
by the Seaboard Development
Company, with Offices at 1916 At
lantic avenue, Atlantic City, which
company is rather reluctant aboCt
making their plans for develop
ment known at the present time.
1t is understood, however, that
the tract of land, which at one
time was proposed for city park
will be improved from the Shore
road to Lakes Bay. 1t will be
developed into an exclusive resi-
dental section.
For many years Bear Swamp
has been an eye sore on the
Shore road. The land is low. and
vegetation has completely covered
the area, which is not suitable for
anything as long as it is in it's
present shape.
The development will enhance
the value of property in that sec
ton to no small degree A num-
Der OF years ago Raymond Thomp-
son. city engineer, drew plans
which would transform, if they
We're adopted, the Bear Swamp
site into a beautiful city park
The matter was preached to city
council, but no action was ever
taken by the Solons.

Mayor Jackson Sees Busy
Fall Ahead for Local
Realtors.

y busy fall season for realtors
of the Mainland is prophesied By
Mayor Charles E. Jackson, of the
firm of Jackson e Kreutz, 100 S.
Main street.
Nothing much doing now" Mr..
Jackson stated yesterday. but we
look forward towards a busy time
this fall. Everything points to-
wards a good autumn"
This seemed to. be the opinion
of the majority of the real estate
men visited yesterday in a tour of
the real estate offices of the Main
land. Everyone is looking for
ward to season this fall which
will make up for the present in
activity.
All real estate men declared
things We're slow for the month so
far. Little buying or selling is
being done by visitors or shore
people. A great deal more bust
ness is expected to come with the
fall months.
Stop Arch Work.
The first steps of any communi-
ty to interfere with ornaments
which are placed at the entrances
of the various developments came
this week. when Linwood Borough
Council ordered work on a huge
arch which is being constructed
on the Lyndale development stop
ped.
Mayor Charles Brown was Of
the opinion that the arch was
dangerous, and all the Council
men agreed that the permission
of the Borough should have been
procured before such an arch was
erected across a Borough street.
The matter has been referred to
the Borough solicitor, and will
come up for discussion at the next
Council meeting.
