AbsecOn SOlOnS
Will Seek Bids
For New Engine
Special Meeting of Council to
Be Held Next Wednesday
Night
ORDINANCE PASSED
EMPOWERING BIDS
Councilman Cook Only Mem
Der Not Approving of La
France Fire Engine Which
is Sought


Absecon City council made plans
to again seek bids for a six
cylinder pumping engine Wednes-
day night when it met in the Coun-
ell Chambers. The bids will be
received at a special meeting of
Council which will be held in the
Chambers the coming Wednesday
night.
An ordinance which empowers
the Council to again seek bids was
passed on third and final reading,
following a public hearing, during
which there were no objections, a
few weeks ago. The first ordinance
passed. it was found, was unlawful
because no debt statement had
been filed.
When this was learned, steps
were at once taken to prepare and
pass an ordinance which is legal
in every way.
Councilman Cook is the only
member of the councilmanic body
who does not approve of the
American La France fire engine
which council is considering. He
claims that the HUM engine, which
recently gave demonstration, is
a smaller engine, with 10 horse
power. and greater pumping
pressure at a cost of $1,000 less
than the other engine.
A motion was made by Council
man Cook that the Fire Committee
communicate with the American
La France Company asking them
to give a demonstration with the
HUM engine in action this Satur-
day at two O'Clock. The matter was
placed in the hands of the Fire
committee from council.
A motion passed that the solici-
tor prepare an ordinance for an
electrical code. He was also
ordered to send letter to the
Pennsylvania railroad asking them
to place a Waterman at the. Illinois
avenue crossing, which is, it is
claimed, ungarded after 10
O'Clock in the evening.
Clean up week will be observed
In the city the week of May /,
Council was informed. Collection
days for trash has been set for
Wednesday and Thursday All
rubbish must be placed in recep-
tacles at the curb.
The street committee. together
with Harry Mattson. Jr, will make
an inspection of School street.
A resolution was read asking the
Freeholders to take a portion of
Delilah road which lies in Absecon
and make it county road.
President Carton presided over
the meeting, with Councilman
Cock, Carter, Townsend, and
Reilly being present.

Grade
SHORE RID. RESURFACING
STARTED WEDNESDAY
Section From Center of City
TO Wright Street Complet-
ed - viii Work Toward
The Point


Unless the Atlantic and Subur-
pan trolley company takes some
action to bring its roadbed I'D to
grade at certain places along the
Shore road between this city and
Somers Point, sections of it will
De covered over with material
which is being used to re-surface
that highway, Japhet Price, county
road supervisor, declared this
morning.
An ultimatum was served on the
railroad by the road committee of
the Atlantic County Board of Free
holders at a meeting Wednesday
that unless the company took i'm
mediate steps to bring its road
bed up to grade this action would
be taken.
Mr. Price declared that he ex-
pected orders to carry out this
ultimatum if the trolley company
failed to take action. Work on the
Highways re-surfacing has already
started, and has progressed for a
distance of three blocks through
this city.
County Solicitor Enoch A.
Higbee was ordered to serve formal
notice on the utility company. 1t
was stated at the road committees
meeting that the company had
been notified year ago to repair
its tracks and bring them up to
grade. The notice, it was further
stated. had gone unheeded because
of the heavy outlay involved.
John Tomlin, chairman of the
road COMMITTEES, declared that the
trolley company would have to
work fast if it did not want its
tracks covered. 1t is impossible to
pave the road with the tracks in
their present condition because
with the passage of every trolley
the entire pavement is rocked, it
was declared.
The Shore road. or Main street
as it is known in this city, has
been re-surfaced from the center
of the city to Wright street, work.
ingmen starting on it Wednesday.
and going that far in two days
time. The road, according to con-
tract, must be finished clear
through to Somers Point in SO
working days.
As it is in very poor condition,
the re-surfacing action is well
come one to all its residents. or
those who use it.
