Leads World
in Telephone
Development
Figures Show Atlantic City
Surpasses 1853 Cities in
United States
80 PHONES FOR
EACH 100 PEOPLE

Atlantic City, with thirty-nine
telephones for every hundred OF
its population has now greater
telephone development than any
other city in the United States or
Canada, according to the New Jer-
sey Public Utility Information
Committee. This development is
due in great part to the large
number of hotels in the resort
which have telephones in every
room.
OF the 1853 cities in this country
served by Bell System telephones,
with populations in excess of So
600 people, Atlantic City's nearest
competitor in point of telephone
development is Evanston, Illinois,
which has 1874 telephones for
every hundred of its citizens.
Chicago ranks eighth on the list
with 27.2 telephones per hundred
population. New York is twenty,
second with 1858 telephones per
hundred and Philadelphia stands
ninety-sixth with seventeen Bell
telephones for every hundred popu-
lation.
There are sixteen cities in the
territory of the Bell Telephone
Company of Pennsylvania with a
population exceeding 10000. More
than 100000 telephones are in serv-
ice in these cities. Their aggre-

New Note For
Painted Walls
Sponge Notified Finish Adds
Charm and Dis
tinctiOn
FOR ANY SIZE OR
TYPE OF ROOM

Plain walls are attractive in
cases where care must be taken not
to detract from pictures, or in large
formal rooms where a certain sever
ity adds to stateliness. On the other
hand, there are many places where
the notified effects obtainable witsl
paint are not only in good taste but
add charm and distinction to inter
Tor walls that can be had in 10 other
way
A striking mottled effect, and
one gaining in popularity, is what
is termed the sponge mottled
finish. One Of the advantages OF
the sponge mottled finish is its
wide adaptability. Almost any
room may be decorated successfully
in this finish, whether it is used
as an all-oyer treatment or in
panels. In the case of panels there
should usually be greater contrast
between the colors selected for the
two-tone effect of the sponge mot
tied finish than when an all-over
pattern is employed. While almost
any number of colors may be used,
one or two in addition to the ground
coat will ordinarily be found suffic-
lent to produce decidedly interest
The sponge notified finish is pro-
The sponge bottled finish is pro-
duced with three coats Of white lead
paint. The first, or printing coat, is
applied in the usual way. When this
coat is dry a second coat in one
color is put ON and also allowed to
dry. Then the top or finishing coat
in another color is applied by lamp
ing it on with sponge that has
been cut in half to produce a flat
surface. II is the application of the
top coat in this way that produces
the .mottlel effect.
Either the color of the second
coat or the nothing color may pre-
dominate in the sponge mottled
finish. The amount of tamping on a
unit of surface regulates to a large
extent how much of the undercoat
color Will show.
The notified color is usually APP
piled in a haphazard manner, with
no attempt to secure a regular
pattern, although a regular pattern
is occasionally used with very
satisfactory results. As rule the
haphazard nothing will prove more
satisfactory for the reason that a
great deal of the charm of the
sponge notified finish lies in its
irregular pattern.

In the 163 cities with population
of $4,000 or over and in the seven
cities in Canada o. the same size,
there is an aggregate population OF
45, 100000 people. This is an increase
of about 100000 population over
1926 figures. About 100000 tele-
phones were used to serve these
people on January 1. 1927. This is
an increase of $4,000 telephones

The wholesale erection of apart

the past few years has been the
feature of the building activity. 1t
will not be long before Atlantic
City win be noted for its numerous
apartment buildings. Hardly day
passes that an announcement is
not made of some apartment pro-
ject, either large or small.
Ground has become so valuable
that investors must build apart

Figures gathered from a survey
of the situation shows that there
are approximately 1890 apartments
in the city, of which about 1856
suites in some 116 buildings were
erected during the past one and
one-half years. Figuring on -four
people living in each apartment, IL
is found that there are 1920

ence on unemployment, of which
Ernest t. Twigg was Chairman,
began its resources along these
lines in 1921, according to recent
report by a committee appointed
by Secretary Hoover to determine
how nearly it is possible to elimin-
ate the duh seasons which are
characteristic of constructions
. activities.
The committee reported, after
considerable investigation, that
custom, not climate, is responsible
for seasonal sickness in the con-
struction industries, and that much
of this seasonal dullness is mainly
preventable. Responsibility, it held,
rests largely with the public.
In it's Investigations the commit
tee found ii to be the general rule
that the building trades Were
occupied wholly for only three to
five months of the year. making
construction costs proportionately
high and thus working a hardship
not only on the producers and dis
tributors but upon the employees
and public as well.

Upon the completion of tour
of Atlantic city, Glyndon Priest
man, chairman of the inter-city
study and research committee OF
the Philadelphia board issued the
following statement:
after our excursion around the
resort we realize that Atlantic
City has more to boast of than the
Boardwalk. Visitors stay near their
hotels too much. A trip like the
one we experienced would amply
repay them in enjoyment.
"Our trip will lead to better
understanding between the two
boards. | have everything to say
in favor of Atlantic City"
Philadelphians have large hold
ings of real estate in Atlantic City
and vicinity. 1t is estimated that
their holdings are equal to 40 per
centsof the shore property.
Under the guidance of local
committee, some $50 members of
the Philadelphia Real Estate
Board made a tour of Atlantic City
and vicinity Tuesday for the pur-
pose of studying resort realty con-
ditions. Special attention was made
by the delegation to development
and subdivision in and about the
city.
The visiting realtors were head
ed by Robert J. Nash, the Presi-
dent of the Quaker City Board.
They were greeted at the station
by the committee of which War
ner Lindsay Jr. is chairman and
then conducted on the tour. Seven
large motor buses were used, and
in each was an Atlantic City man
acting as lecturer. The intinerary
led to Ventnor, Margate, Long
port and through the towns on the
shore road to Absecon. Lunch was
served at the Hotel Brigantine.
In the afternoon the realtors in
spected Atlantic City. A rolling
chair party on the Boardwalk and
bathing parties were included in
the program. AT night the Philadel-
phia delegation entertained the
Atlantic City board at dinner
in the Hotel Ambassador.

possibilities Of transatlantic fly,
ing revealed by the Lindberg-
Chamherlin Bryd flights, the advan'
tages possessed by West Atlantic
City as a great terminal for some
of the European flying services
now being projected are being de-
veloped to such an extent that
seventeen acres of the airport at
Bader Field are now in condition
for landing.
The Importance of making
Atlantic City center of airplane
activities is being given a great
deal of consideration.
Kenneth Walton, who is greatly
interested in aviation. has been
quick TO see the advantages of inn
proving the airport and has been
instrumental in interesting Com
missioner Kuehnh in its value as
factor of progress for Atlantic
City.
Impetus to reconstruction of the
airport was given by A. H. G.. FOX
ker, the noted airplane designer,
who designed the plane used by
Commander Byrd in his flight to
France and the plane used by Matt
land and Hegenberger in their
successful flight across the Pacific
Ocean. and who has expressed him

ing the resort seriously as ter
minal of transcontinental air serv
ice.
When Fokker made his visit
here, according to Bevan Baldwin
engineer at the airport, there were
only about five acres of ground
available for landing purposes.
Since then all the brush has been
cleared and about seventeen acres
made ready for landing. By the
early fall it is expected to have
about thirty acres ready for land
ing.
The field is being placed in first
class condition" Baldwin said,
and most any plane could make a
landing now"
Two runways will be ready early
next month, according to present
indications. Each viii approximate
1000 feet, SO that taking off with
heavy loads of gasoline or passen-
gers may be facilitated. If con-
ditions warrant it is proposed to
extend one to two thousand and
the other 2,400 feet, which would
make them about the same length
as in use in the country's best fly
ing fields. Beacon lights are plan
ned as part of the airport equip
ment, in order TO aid filters landing
at night.
