An ordinance prohibiting the
erection of signs in Absecon un.
til plans for such signs had been
seen and approved by the city
building inspector was passed on
third and final reading Friday
night as members of City Coun-
Gil met.
The ordinance applies to adj
vertising signs of any sort, and
further provides that the building
Inspector shall give careful con-
sideration before endorsing plans.
If he finds plans for signs are
such that the erection of such adj
vertising medium would endanger
surrounding property, he can hold
UP construction. He can also
condemn signs which, in his opin-
ior are unsafe.
The fine for violation of the
new ordinance was fixed at 500.
An ordinance providing for the
changing of the grade of Wyom-
ing avenue was passed on first
reading, and will have public
hearing July 10. Freeholders will
take up the matter of endeavor-
ing to have this street accepted
by the county, making it a county
highway.

New Lights And Streets
Six Additional Street Lights
-Oakcrest Residents Ask
for Improved Street.-The
POstOffice Situation.

At the meeting of Linwood
Council last evening, Mayor
Charles Brown appointed Robert
Shovel as constable and Clarence
Potter, Howard Fluck and John
Brown as special officers, with a
view to improving traffic condi-
tons. Many drivers along Shore
road and vicinity have been get
ting reckless and Linwood Bor-
ough intends to put a stop to the
practice.
New Lights.
The lighting committee, repre-
scented by Councilman Mercer
Wilson, recommended the plac-
ing of six additional street lights
and motion to that effect was
carried. Lights will be placed at
Oak avenue and Sanders; Adams
avenue and R. R.; Marvin and
Fenton; Poplar avenue near the
bridge; and two other places yet
to be designated. The question
OF lights for Sea View avenue
was discussed and brought out
the fact that the Atlantic City
Electric Co. has been waiting for
the curb line to be established
before running a pole line here.
Streets.
A delegation from Oak Crest
visited the Council meeting and
made a plea for better street con-
ditions there. Discussion devel-
oped the fact that Linwood Coun-
Gil would be unable to accept the
streets in their present condition.
Members of the Council were will
ling and eager to neip the Ok
crest residents improve condi-
lions there, and offered them the
use of the borough tractor and
man to operate it at SIS per day,
which is the estimated cost Of
operation. The delegates from
Oakcrest were invited to meet
with the road committee after
Council to consider ways and
means of making the streets of
Oakcrest acceptable, and of Sc
curing Information as to what
constituted an acceptable street.
The delegation found the coun-
cilmen ready to do all in their
power to assist them, and to CO.
operate in every way to help inn
prove conditions. A motion was
carried to improve Marvin ave-
nue. from the railroad to the end
of the street.
The postoffice committee re-
ported that a conference has been
arranged for today when the COM
mittee will meet Congressman
Bacharach.

Turner-Adams
New Garage
Business Expansion Brings
Necessity for New
Building.

Turner and Adams, progressive
representatives of the Hudson
and Essex cars, because of bust
ness expansion, have found it nee
essary to find larger quarters. On
or about the first of August, work
will be started on a new, modern
fireproof garage, with automobile
sales and showrooms in front.
and a garage and repair depart
ment in the rear.
The building will be two stor-
les in height, so by $50 feet, of
fire proof brick and block con-
struction, with concrete floors.
Alphabetically, it is to be one of
the finest garages in the city.
Show rooms for new model Hud-
son-Essex creations, along with
auto accessories, ETC., will be
housed behind large plate glass
windows in front. Entrance to
the repair department will be
through large double doors, and
inside there will be parking space
for over fifty cars.
The site for the building is at
1920 East Washington avenue.
The building on the. site, which
is now in course of demolition,
is one of the city's oldest build
ings and marks the days when
Pleasantville was hamlet of but
a few hundred people. In it's life
of some fifty years, it has housed
various industries, the principal
being the baking business.
1t has passed from the Laceys
to the Lopers, then to the Dan
ielsons, who conducted a bakery,
then to the Campbells and later
to Joseph Krewson, of Mortified,
who conducted an ice cream and
candy manufacturing plant. OF
late it has been unused because
of it's unstable condition, and was
falling into a bad state of repair
until the recent action of it's pres
ent owners.
The building is truly an old
landmark, being built Of South
Jersey lumber. The front is hand
carved and scroll sawed, pro-
cess which in these times would
cost a small fortune in itself.

League Fans
Expect Break
Watch Pleasantville and
Jeffries for Signs of
Weakening.

With the local club and JeH
ries fighting for first place in the
South Jersey League, fans of ev
cry other team in the fight for
that pennant, augmented by To-
cal and Atlantic City rooters, are
watching for break on the part
of either one or the other clubs
Such a break was about due
Sunday, but failed to materialize
when rain halted the games to be
played. At this early stage OF
the league standing, the winners
of the pennant would be hard to
select, but from the games it has
turned in, Manager Cliff Wilson'S
team should be somewhere very
near the top, if not actually on it.
when the series ends.
Allowing for all kinds of breaks
it looks as though the race has
narrowed down to three, or pos
sibly four clubs. They are Pleas.
antville, Jeffries, Millville and
Hammonton, which may play
some excellent ball to come out
on top.
The local and Jeffries clubs ap-
pear to be about the best in the
league, from the games which
have been watched, and the Ma.
room nine of the Mainland seems
to be better than the resort team
to the fans who have watched
the two teams in action against
each other.
Again, the Mainland fans are
rallying to the park here Satur-
days to back the Wilson nine.
It was disappointment Sunday
when rooters learned that the
games with Hammonton at Egg
Harbor had to be called of be-
cause of rain. Usually a Main
land fan would 60 miles to watch
a Pleasantville team meet one
from Hammonton.

Contractor Has
Narrow Escape
Doughty Jumps From Win
dow as Bungalow In
terror Crashes.

c. Doughty, local contractor,
barely escaped serious injury Fri
day morning, when the interior of
bungalow in which he was work
ing collapsed. Mr.. Doughty was
laying a floor at the time. At the
first warning crash he jumped oct
of a nearby window and saved
himself.
The bungalow is new one be-
ing built ON West Willard ave, for
F. Hughes. 1t was all enclosed,
rooted and partitioned when the
accident occurred. Workmen had
brought in eight tons of lime to
be used in the plastering, and had
placed it on the first floor of the
structure instead of in the cellar.
Almost without warning the inte-
rior collapsed, wrenching the
brick work out of shape and doing
an estimated damage of about
$500. No one was injured, due to
the fact that Mr.. Doughty was the
only one in the structure at the
time, and his prompt action saved
him.
