Linwood Streets
to be Improved
Borough Council Introduces
Ordinance to Get Nee
essary Grades.
Highways in Poor Shape

Introduction of grading ordinan
ces, and plans for improvements
of streets featured the meeting of
Linwood Borough Council in the
Borough Hall last night. Three
new ordinances were introduced
by Councilman Pencil. They call
for the establishment of grades on
Seaview avenue to the meadows;
Marvin avenue from the Shore
Fast line ENTHUSIASTICALLY, and
Fenton avenue from Marvin north
eastwardly to the Borough line.
An ordinance establishing a
grade on Ocean Heights avenue
and Oak avenue was passed on
second, and then, after public
hearing, on third and final read
ing.
A curb line was ordered eStab-
lished on E. Seaview avenue, the
south side, from the Shore road
on. Grade lines were ordered es'
tablished on Oak avenue to Pat
cong bridge, and on Van SAINT
avenue from Oak eastward.
1t was ordered that the audit of
Auditor Heston be published
A letter from r. J. Somers, for
mer tax assessor, returned a check
which the former assessor declar-
ed did not pay him for the time
he had put on his work. In his
letter he declared that he should
be paid according to the new rate.
The matter was turned over to
the Borough solicitor.
A letter was received from the
Atlantic County Water Company
in which they stated they regret
ted the condition Of the streets in
the Borough where they had made
repairs, and further stated that
they would complete the street re-
pairs as soon as possible. The

ard thread ON fire hydrants in va
rious sections of the city, the let

Councilman Wilson reported
that the Atlantic City Electric
Light company would be ready to
start on lines on the Oak road
this week.
The widening Of Oak road. was
discussed, and it was found that
it would be costly to widen the
street because of the new side
walk and curbing the Borough has
recently had placed in front of the
Borough Hall and fire station. A
discussion of the widening of the
road on the other side of the rail
road tracks followed. No action
was taken.
Councilman Pennell reported
that the recent rain had put the
streets in a very poor condition.

approval Of progress in this direc-
ton. Sentiment was in favor of
sidewalks on Shore road and
streets adjacent thereto, as well

Tiplitz at Resort.
Two Pleasantville athletes box
ed in the ring at the Bacharach
Ball Park, Friday night, and both
came through with the bright spot
light of victory playing all about
them.
One was Gene Moretti, seven
teen year old boxer, who, veterans
of the ring declare, has promis-
ing future. Gene wenS against
Joe Tiplitz, and took all rounds
but one of the eight the two box
ed.
Only the greater experience of
the veteran Joe saved him from
going down by a knockout to the
hard hitting Moretti, who follow
ing him about the ring endeavor-
ed to land the finishing blow, but
was unsuccessful.
The second boxer was Tony
Russo, who scored technical
knockout over Hughey Burns, who
substituted for Charley Kitzie

Burns was no match for Angie,
who followed him all over, until
the third, when Burns seconds

The same opportunity is avail
able to the early starters in the
race. If one of those already en-
tered should land this splendid
gold award-it would very proba-
bly, mean the certain landing of
the first prize also.
But an absolutely NEW entrant
can enter the race today and cap
ture this grand special prize.
The amount of votes anyone has
previous to this announcement do
not count in this special competi-
ton. From this date until August
9th, while the votes are being is
sued ON regular subscription turn
ms, the count will also cover the
amount of NEW subscription mon
ely turned in, and on August 9th,
the one who has turned i'll the
greatest amount Of new subscrip-
ton money will be counted the
winner of the 500 in gold, as au-
dited by the judges on the final
night of the campaign.
In fact, while one of the present
candidates might have the slight
advantage of a little more expert
enee in craftsmanship work, he has
the disadvantage Of having al
ready drawn on his immediate
territory, while a NEW entrant
would have his own virgin terri
tory and certainly lots of fresh
enthusiasm.
In any event, no one in the cam
paign. new entrant or early start
er, can possibly lose, as EVERY
BODY WINS SOMETHING in this
campaign.
1t is Anybody's Race.
AS the vote stands today, it is
anybody's race. Never have we
observed a race That was SO even
ly matched as to the pace set by
those now entered. Yet not one
of these has such a lead over the
bottom candidate, or even
"brand-spanking" NEW entrant,
but that by pep, push and perse-
verance, such lead may be over
come and the bottom land on top
before the final count OF the Judg-
es-not quite four weeks away.
ALL NEW candidates should, II
possible, get started for the specl-
al prize and q share of the big
prizes THIS WEEK.

HEARST DRIVER
DELIVERS SHORT,
SNAPPY SPEECH
When He Quit Talking

III / catch you selling papers be-
tween eight O'Clock and the time the
bulldog shows up, you DONE get any
more Americans"
This monologue took place at the
corner Of Halsted and Madison streets
at six o'clock in the evening Dempsey
and Tunney caressed each other for
the ten rounds. The author of the
speaking part was a short, wiry fellow
with red sweater.
He was driver for the Hearst
Evening American and the butt of his
remarks was a meek newspaper ven-
dor who expected a landofice business
caioling pedestrians into reading "all
about the big fight" In expectation
of big business the impresario Of the
newsstand called out his whole family.
Newsle Kept His Head.
This goes for Daily News and
everything else" the red sweatered
fellow continued, without any attempt
at diplomacy. A big pile of Daily News
almost brought tears from the news
monger's eyes, but he thot it better
to lose a few dollars in profits than
lose a week in bed so he agreed to
accept the ultimatum.
Thinking it peculiar that driver
should be clothed with such dictatorial
powers, The DAILY WORKER re-
porter approached the humble news
vendor, after the driver was at safe
distance and inquired whether the
wiry lad was Benito Mussolini in dis
guise.
A sickly laugh was the reply.
It appears that something went
wrong with the Hearst service on the
bout and that this was the method to
square things with their competitors.

Condylis Withdraws
from the Leadership
of Greek Government

ATHENS, Sept. "a. = Gen. Condylis,
today announced his withdrawal from
the premiership. He will be a candi-
date in the nearing parliamentary cleo
tons.
It is believed here that Gen. Condy-
lis desires to remain free to watch
over the defense Of the republican
regime in case it is menaced by the
hopes of the monarchists, and also to
be able to defend the system of pro-
portional representation. The major
ity Of his cabinet will not take part
in the elections, so the ministry now
simply becomes a business cabinet.

Sixty-three affldavits supported the

Celestine Madeiros, whose confession
was the basis foPsthe new trial mo-
ton, was read into the record, to-

Appealed to Butler.
Defense Counsel Thompson appealed
to United States Attorney General Sar-
gent, upon advice Of Senator William
M. Butler, for aid in securing access
to the Boston department OF justice
files. Neither Butler nor Sargent sue
ceeded in getting the information.
Sargent did not even write an answer
to Thompson's request, altho Thomp-
