on this matter, and has persuaded
Inn to stop off and look the field
over in BOzeman before going farther
west.
It is hoped that Mr.. Denison will
find all that he is looking for in this
valley and that he will be encouraged
to locate here. The mill, it is stated,
is to be a lotion mill, and it will cost
in the neighbOrhood of 100000 to
erect the building and put in the ma
chinerys the machinery being quite
expensive.
The mill located here would be the
means Of bringing quite a number of
eastern men here to take charge of
the machinery when the establish
ment was complete, and would also
give employment to other less ex-
perienced men now living here. We
are informed that the mill would en-
ploy from 40 to so hands, which
which would mean a pay roll of at
least $500 each month.
What BOzeman wants is a large
manufacturing enterprise, whics
would be profitable to the owners and
would employ a large number of men
IF such an establishment as the one
mentioned can be secured it would
give Bozeman a bigger boost than shc
ever previously experienced.

In Gas Service

Gas Company = Changes
at Plant-New Mains.

The Pleasantville Gas Company
was purchased by C. H. Geist.
President of the Atlantic City Gas
Company, on January Second, and
since then the operation has been
under Mr.. Geist's direction. 1t
has been operated as separate
unit under the name of the Pleas
antville Gas Company.
Harry Lovett, ST., has recently
resigned the position as Manager
to take up private line of bust
ness.
The Pleasantville Gas Company
is not connected in any way with
the Atlantic City Gas Company,
but is under the supervision of
Chester Grey. Manager of the At.
lantic City Gas Company.
Mr.. Geist contemplates making
considerable additions and i'm
provements to the distribution
system in order to give the citi-
zens OF Pleasantville, Absecon,
Mortified, Linwood and Somers
Point, better gas service. This is
going to require the expenditure
of quite a large sum of money
and is going to take some little
time, as the present distribution
system is inadequate in great
many locations and has not been
laid out so that an equal distribu
ton of gas both with reference to
pressure and volume could be de-
livered.

Right Of Way Required

Calls Attention to Opp0r-

Little Local Cost.

FreehOlder Clark Adams says II
is possible for the city of Pleas
antville to obtain a $3S0,000 i'm
provement in streets and traffic
at small appropriation for the
cost of land for right of way.
The improvement is that OF
routing traffic from West Wash
ington ave. through New road to
Decatur ave. and thence via a new
proposed cut below the Shore
Fast into Verona ave. to the
Pleasantville boulevard.
The county engineers have pre-
pared the surveys and completed
the maps. The surveys call FOL
the widening of New road where
it joins West Washington avenue
The corners will be rounded anG
the owners of the cemetery prop
erty Oh the west corner and the
vacant land on the east corne,
have joined in the improvement.
New road will be paved and
pass under the tracks of the third
rail of the Pennsylvania line. The
tracks of the Shore Fast at Deca
tur ave. will also be elevated sc
that the highway may pass under
About IA feet of clearance is pro
vided for.
The turn into Verona from De
catur is over private land.
THE state and county are bear
ing the great portion of the cos,
of this improvement, which means
an expenditure OF approximately
S3S0,000. To make this improve
ment possible, the city of Pleas
antville is asked to furnish the
right of way between Decatur ave
and Verona ave. 1t is not long
stretch and will not cost much
compared to the benefits to be
derived.
THE city will be relieved OF
two bad crossings. New road and
Decatur. The worst of these
crossings is at Decatur ave, be
cause of the school located there
"The changes would route traf-
fic between Atlantic City and the
cities of the west out of the con-
gested section of the city, by car
rying it through Verona, Decatur
and New road. Dangerous cross
ings would be eliminated. Local
traffic would be facilitated. Plea
santville people could make good
use of the passages under the
tracks. They will save time and
distance.
main street business would
benefit greatly by this relief.
do not know just what it would
cost to obtain the land necessary
for the right of way required, but
it would be we'll worth all that 1t

ny on the Southeast corner OF
Washington avenue and New road
to be used as a site for new
central office building, announces
w. w. Britain, Telephone Mana
ger for this City.
Although no definite plans have
as yet been drawn for the build
ing, it is understood the structure
to be built on this lot will follow
the characteristic style of tele.
phone architecture and will be a
creditable addition to the City's
buildings.
Pleasantville is growing. AS its
commercial activities expand
more telephones will be required
and the Telephone Company is
anxious to be in a position to fur
nish additional telephone facilities
before they are required, says Mr..
Britain. The new building will
supply the space required for
more switchboards.
Mr.. Britain says that the pres
ent central office building at
North Main street is adequate for
the telephones now operating in
the City, but telephone engineers
are looking forward to the future
when the growing City will re-
quire more telephones.
The lot which has just been
purchased is approximately $50
feet square. Although construc-
ton work will not be started for
some time it was thought wise to
purchase now, By 1880 the 1900
telephones that are now operating
in Pleasantville will increase to
$500, say telephone engineers.
