Co. Will
Extend Service
New Road Residents to Be
Supplied by New
Pipe Line.
Many Extensions Made
New Well Being Driven at
SOmers Point - Better
Pump Located at This
End Of Line.

Among the utilities of the
Mainland which are making every
effort to improve the service to
it's consumers is the Atlantic
County Water Company, which
was recently purchased by the
American Water Works and Elec-
trio Company, which owns and
controls some of the largest cleo
trio and water corporations in the
world.
The company acquired control
of the Mainland water system in
April, 1925, and have since ex-
pended many thousands of dollars
in replacing lines With We're too
small to give good service.
Work of this sort is progressing
as rapidly as possible, and Glenn
Brewer, local superintendent,
states that service is the main
thing with his company. All com
plants will be investigated.
Within 80 days the water COM
pany planned to extend a II inch
cast iron line from Woodland av-
enue to Absecon, to improve ser
vice in Absecon and also to fur
nish city water to consumers
along the New Road between
these TWO points A number OF
fire hydrants are to be installed
along this line, and an extension
will be made to serve people on
Delilah road who have petitioned
for water.
This line will cost around $50
900 and will insure the consumer
in the northern end of the terri
tory the best of service.
A six inch line is also being run
ONT Wesley avenue to serve new
consumers and at Chalfonte ave
nue. the six inch line is being
| branched over to Adams. Oenlda
and Seneca avenues to replace a
small line serving quite few
consumers.
Fire MIGRANTS will also be in
stalled along this installation
Several large eXte2sss rns are plan
ned for Mortified anHIinwood.
Owners of the Atlantic County
Water company, according to Mr.
Brewer, are optimistic regarding
the future of the Mainland towns
and are showing this fact by tho
large expenditures they are max
ing for improvement Of service
ard for new business.
They are also drilling new Wel!S
in Somers Point for the better
ment of service in that end OF
their holdings. improvements are
to be made to the pumping sta
ton and within a short time the
Mainland can boast OF unexcelleC
service in it's most essential util
ity.
1t is the policy of the company
to investigate thoroughly any com
plant regarding the incivility o
any of the employees and the!
solicit the aid of their consumers
in obtaining facts of anything o
this sort.

MEN LEAP TO SAFETY;
AUTO JUMPS BRIDGE

Plunging through the railing
on Second Bridge, on the Plea
santville Boulevard yesterday,
an automobile dropped into
the water a second after Gus
NJ. Blatt, 81, of 271 South Con-
necticut avenue, driver, and
Bernard Garfield, IS, of ABB
North Warnock street, Phila-
delphia, had clambered back to
safety. The boys made their
way out of the front seat and
over six-inch rail while the
auto hung suspended over the
stream.
The water is about thirty
feet deep at that point and
both boys said they could not
swim. The automobile was
salvaged by members of the
Accident Bureau.

Two Men Placed
on New Faculty
E. w. Cooke Principal No. 2
School-AndersOn Di-
rector of Athletics
Horstick Names Instructors
Both Men of Experience
Athletic Director Athlete
of Note-Graduate of La
fayette-Ball Player.

Two important additions to the
school faculty for the coming
school year were announced yes
terday by Prof. Simon 7. Horstlck,
superintendent of the school sys-
tenn.
f. w. Cooke, of Berwind, w.
Va. was named as principal OF
School No. 2, Park avenue, to sue
coed Charles w. Ingerson, who
retired early in the summer fol
lowing the close of the school.
William H. Anderson, of Eas-
ton, Pa, was appointed Director
of Physical Education, succeeding
Roy Maurer. He is graduate OF
LAFAYETTE college, where he was
noted athlete.
Mr.. Cooke is graduate OF a
southern college, and has taken
special work in education at the
University of Virginia. He has
had a number of years experience
as principal of grammar ana
high schools, and comes to this
aity we'll recommended to Supt.
Horstick. -
Mr.. Cooke, in other commune
ties in which he has been located
as a teacher, has taken an active
interest in Sunday School, Boy
Scout, and similar work. He is
looked upon as an excellent man
to take charge of the No. 2 school,
second largest grammar school in
the city.
Mr.. Anderson, who heads the
physical education system, will
have much in common with Emo
ry "Ty' Helfrich, History teacher
and Director of Athletics in the
high school. Both are graduates
of the same college, Lafayette.
Both were presidents of their
graduating classes, and both cap
tanned the baseball team the year
they graduated.
Mr.. Anderson graduated in 1919.
He was letter man in basketball
and baseball, captain of the latter
team the year he graduated. He
also participated in football and
soccer.
During the last few years he
has been with the Ingersoll Rand
company as director of physical
education. He has also played
semi-professional baseball in Phil
adelphia and vicinity, and has TAX
Ell special work in physical edu-
cation at the University of Penn
sylvania.
Mr.. Anderson, besides his work
in the other schools, is expected
to work with Mr.. Helfrich in de-
veloping the football, basketball
and baseball teams in the high
school.
Wish his assistance as coach, a
year that looks bright for athletic
conuuests looms. An almost vet
eran eleven will return to high
school this fall, starting practice
soon after school starts. This
team is expected to be developed
into one of the best that has ever
represented the high school.
Graduation also took but few
basketball and baseball men. This
leaves plenty of excellent material
which can be moulded into shape
by Mr.. Anderson, working with
Mr.. Helfrich.

THE LARRY HO" HABIT

IN ULUTH'S neighbor St. Paul
IL yesterday elected Laurence c.
Hodgson to be its mayor.
Electing Mr.. Hodgson seems to be
something of a habit with St. Paul.
1t had him as mayor two terms, and
then for awhile as one of its commits
sioners; and now it has made him
mayor again.
It's not bad habit.
Mayor-elect Hodgson, who is per-
haps more widely known as Larry
Ho," used to be newspaper man be-
fore he became an officeholder, and
all the time he is a poet with a very
fine sense of the things that appea,
to the human heart-a sense, that is
of beauty in human relationships; {
sense of friendship, of affection an(
of good will.
1t isn't usual in this country tt
make mayors out of poets, but st
Paul's manifest approval Of it's prev
ious experiments with this particular
poet at least shows that there is moth
ing in being poet that units mai
for being a mayor.
St. Paul's Larry Ho' habit is yer,
becoming to it. Congratulations t
it, and to him.-Duluth Herald.

- Cd made Minnesota the Gar

placed it in the wonderland of
the North. He gave it fertile soil
that man might subsist with ease;
then blessed it with ten thousand
lakes and surrounded these with trees.
He called it the home of the laugh
ing waters and proclaimed the Mis-
sissippi the father of its sparkling
streams.
He sweetened its balmy air with the
music of song birds and honey bees,
and pronounced it the playground ct
ernal of peace and prosperity.
He gave it the beauties of wildwood
and graced it with the innocence Of
wild life. He taught the sunshine to
romp with shadow through its for
ests and the fragrance of it's flowers
and fields of clover to mingle with the
perfume of its pines.
He filled its lakes with fish, its for
ests with game, its plains with fowl
and unto these He gave the romano,

Of course we don't know but it is
our guess, as it is that of numberless
others, that these all too prevalent
dust storms have their being in the
over-drainage and underforestation
of Minnesota. The prairie counties
that have been drained to death have
suffered most-and the result is one
to strike horror to the hearts of all
those who prefer to keep Minnesota
real estate within the confines of the
