Councilman Harry Turner, speak

Mortified City's council meeting
last evening, stated that while the
Shore Fast Line had complied with
the request to put in crossing at
Mt. Vernon avenue, the crossing is
not acceptable.
eve have graded and cleaned
out the brush in good shape, but
the railroad has put in a crossing
that is only twelve to fifteen feet in
the center" Mr. Turner said. This
forces the school children to walk
in the path of traffic"
Councilman Turner was also of
the opinion that If two automobiles
attempted to pass on the crossing
one might be crowded onto the
railroad tracks. The crossing
should have been the width of the
street, the same as Jackson avenue
City Clerk Muller was instructed
to write the Shore Fast officials
and state that the city does not
consider the crossing safe.
A letter was received by Mayor
Swilkey from Vollmer & Thomp-
son, auditors, bidding $500 for the
annual audit of the city's books.
This is the same price as paid last
year and was accepted.

A petition made by the Cardiff
Cooperative club asking that an

field Branch of the West Jersey
and Seashore' Railroad has not
been favored in a report made by
James Maybury, Jr., chief. bureau
of railroads. who recently went
over the situation there.
Cardiff residents ask that the
highway be given them that the
town on both sides of the railroad
might he connected by a direct
route and because they feel that
the crossing on Doyle ave, which
800 feet out of their way when
they are now forced to take. is
dangerous. The Doyle avenue
crissing. they claim, takes them
500 feet out of their woy when
they wish to so from one section
of the village to the other.
A copy of the Inspectors report
was received by Robert M
Davidson, of Cardiff, and made
public today. Members of the Co
operative club had requested
that a connecting highway on
Spruce avenue, be constructed
under the Pennsylvania railroad.
Doyle avenue is the crossing used
at the present time.

Maybury declares. at would ap-

a house for $4,000 or $4,000, that
money would have to be expended al
most entirely for the essentials. The
per cent, set aside on the $4,000
house for landscaping, would no
doubt be left out altogether.
Or supposing $4,000 was to be ex-
pended on the house, probably the
carpentry work would not require
the approximate q per cent that was
set aside in the $4,000 house. There
might be an extra bathroom or two
and the plumbing might be rather
better than the ordinary without
making the house disproportionate,
so that of the total more than 10
per cent might be expended for
plumbing.
Quite similar to budgeting the cost
of a home is budgeting of the build
ing of an investment account. A man
who has but a small sum to invest
should buy the essentials, the staple,
high grade bonds and stock in which
risk is reduced to a minimum.
A man with two or three thousand
dollars invested and say, fourth or
a third in speculative investments, is
in about as sensible a position as
the man with a four or i've thousand
dollar home with decorating and in
terror finish that cost $4,000 or 81

500. In that case the foundation
couldn't be very stable. The walls
would let in a good deal of cold and
the heating and plumbing arrange
ments would be poor. On the other
hand, the man with a $4,000 or
100000 home can put a quite large
amount into decorating and extra
trimmings without detracting from
substantial construction. Also, if he
has built up an investment account
of 100000 he can possibly afford to
take chances with two or three thou
sand dollars in speculative ventures.
He won't weaken his investment
structure greatly even if he does
lose. But for the small investor,
chance taking is illogical and un-
sound. 1t is too likely to wreck the
very foundation on which he is try
ing to build a measure of financial
independence.

Lights

Automobiles ordinarily come
eoufpped with five lights-two head
lights, two cowl-lights. and a tail
light. 1t is generally required by
statute in every state that motor
vehicles shall carry two white
lights in the front and one red
light in the rear, between certain
hours at night. These statutes are
for the benefit of the entire travel
ing public, and failure to comply
Herewith brings the defaulting mo-
torist very quickly into a clash with
the authorities. The lights in the
front are to serve as a warning to
automobiles approaching in that di-
rection and for the purpose OF a
law which requires two lights in
front of a machine, cOwl-lights will
be sufficient. Circumstances, how
ever, may be such as to render it a
negligent act to run without head
lights. Glaring headlights have be-
come such a menace to motoring
that within the last few years most
states have enacted laws prescrib-
ing in minute detail the particular
nature of the light used and the
manner in which its rays shall be
directed. Some statutes require that
motorists must dim their lights on
meeting a machine passing in an
other direction.
The tail-light serves two purpos-
es; first, as a protection from other
vehicles approaching from the rear,
and secondly, as a means of identi-
flying the rear number plate, which
statutes usually require to be
placed in such a position that the
rays of the tail-light plainly iIlu-
inmate it.
There is some conflict in the au-
