Dear Sir
We read in your columns the announce
ment that we have awarded the contracts for
our mill to be built in your city. In acknow-
Judgement of this there are few facts which
we feel might be of interest to you and the
people of your community.
In the first place, we were influenced in
selecting Pleaasntville as the site of our plant
mainly by it's ideal location and the fact that
we were given every assurance of the coop
Grafton of those in authority and your bust
ness men as whole.
Will Pick Local Employees.
We further wish to advise you that it is
our intention to draw almost entirely from
the residents of Pleasantville nearby vcin-
ity for the major portion of all our employees.
As the matter now stands, we are planning
to bring with only the skeleton of our
organization and to rebuild it entirely from
those who may desire to work for us. AS
soon as the work has progressed far enough
along construction lines, we intend to insert
a notice in your paper that we are ready to
receive applicants for positions, at which time
we will state where application blanks may
be had. When this has been done we will

Installed On
The Reading
Automatic Train Control Be
tween Camden and At
lantic City.
Cost Of S. Miles $876,476

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has approved, with few
minor exceptions, the installation
of the automatic train control sys-
tenn on the Reading. Railway, be-
tween Camden and Atlantic City,
and the Jersey Central, between
Red Bank and Winslow Junction.
Automatic train control systems
are designed to prevent trains
from exceeding certain set speeds
under various operating condi-
tions, prevent them from entering
sections of track already occupied
by trains, and in almost every
way make the safe operation of
the train independent of the engi-
neer. The system used on the
Reading and Jersey Central is
known as the three-speed cOntinu-
Gus induction type. On the Read
ing system it is operating on S.
miles of track and So locomotives,
and cost $S76,746, and on the Jer-
sey Central on IS miles of track
and 30 locomotives and cost $685.

Pathetic Figure.

The Smith Hotel at Brigantine
is being RACED. AS each board
is torn loose from its stills or

into the frail frame of eighty
year-old A. B. Smith, who, as the
son of the builder of the hotel,
saw the structure grow in pro-
portions which were large for its
time and to blossom into the full
ness of popularity.
The hotel has been closed for
% years, but time has not stolen
from Mr.. Smith any of the WV
idness of the scenes nor becloud-

lions of the years when the ho-

men - governors, men of great
political power and prominence

planned notable public buildings

Gals, men and women of all cloths

and who run from it at the mo-
ment it begins to be surpassed
in appointments, conveniences
and elegance.
When night comes and the
screeching, pounding and other
sounds of demolition quiet down,
Smith sees in review the phan-
tasmagoria of fashion that a half
century ago crowded the porches,
the halls and the dining room.

who did not.

Farmer Arrested and Held

Shortly before midnight Friday
tanning Coles, a seventeen-year-
old high school student raped
Justify on the door of William
Handy, a farmer, at Backneck,
eight miles south of Bridgeton.
Coles, with his uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Souder, had
been on motor trip to Cedar
Vile. On the way back they had
picked up Mrs. Handy and her
infant son to take them home.
The boys knocking went un-
answered. Souder Joined his ne
phew and they pounded the door
with a shovel. Finally they put
a box beneath the bedroom Win
dow, and as Coles mounted it
they heard Handy start across
the floor.
Lets fool him by running
away" someone said. He'll
think we were breaking in"
The two fled. A shot came
from the window and Coles stag
gered.
"Aunty, I'm shot," he said, but
this was regarded merely part of
the lark. When he fell at Mrs.
Souder's feet, blood showed that
the lark was ended. He died
thirty minutes later in Bridgeton
Hospital.
Handy is the father of twins
as we'll as the infant son. Han
by said he had heard the noise
at the window and thought a
prowler was there. He said he
started toward the window and
the shotgun was accidentally dis

chair. He was lodged in the
county Jail to await the action
of the coroner's jury. Young
Coles was an honor student in
the junior class of Bridgeton
