Declare
INVESTIGATION STILL ON

Three gypsies arrested by detec-
tives from the prosecutors office
in Atlantic City Wednesday and
held in connection with the Mirag-
liza murder investigation were re-
leased from the city jail in Atlantic

The gypsies were arrested fol-
lowing a chance meeting between

The men gave their names as
John Eavnov, 81; Washo Wanko,

81, of Philadelphia.
County detectives have held Mrs.
Frances Miraglia, wife of the dead

Shore Rd. Will

Published Stories of Supposed
Crisis Discredited BY The
Road Supervisor
TROLLEY COMPANY Is
MAKING REPAIRS
Resurfacing Progressing -
Stretch in City Completed
-Workmen Busy in North
field Not to Widen Road

There is no danger of the At
lantic and Suburban trolley tracks
being covered over between this
city and Somers Point as the coun-
ty resurfaces the highway, Japhet
Price. county road supervisor de-
ciared this morning. in answer to
published stories of the supposed
crisis in the Shore Road paving
situation.
Mr.. Price stated that the Subur-
ban Company was making Slight
repairs" and raising the joints at
certain places between the points
which the county is now paving.
He also stated that the Road com
mittee of the Board of Freeholders
had ordered that the tracks be COW
cred. Since that order was issued,
there has been a conference be-
tween the trolley officials and the
Road committee which resulted in
an agreement whereby the Subur-
ban was to fix the joints between
its tracks as to great extent as
possible.
The Shore Road has been re-
surfaced to the outskirts of the
city this week, workmen now being
engaged near the Pleasantville-
Mortified line. All the road has
been repaired in the city. The
highway will be repaired towards
Somers Point as far as the appro-
priation which has been made
makes work possible.
Several rumors that the property
owners on both sides of the Shore
Road in this city are to have five
feet of their property taken away,
and used for road purposes, were
discredited by the road supervisor
this morning. County Engineer
Nelson also declared that he had
not heard of the proposed improve
ment, and stated that it could not
be true, as the county had no such
intentions, and the State intends
to use New road and not Shore
road.
Such a movement would mean
ten feet added to the Shore road,
but at the same time would cause
the destruction Of many beautiful
trees, hedges and a general tearing
up of front yards along the high
way.

One of the beauty spots OF
Somers Point is the home and
garden of ex-mayor George Coll
located at Shore road and Gibbs
avenue. He has named the place
the Hobby-Nobby Farms.
His successful venture in grow
ing trees and shrubs from all parts
of the world is living advertise

mate. His flowers, many of which,
are rare specimens, are just start
ing to bloom, and according to Mr..
Coll, the place will be a mass of
color within a month. Some of his
flowers and trees are valued at
hundreds of dollars.
Mr.. Coils proudest work and
also his most recent is his lily pond
in which are growing all sorts of
rare water flowers. This pond is
surrounded by several specimens
of fir and spruce trees. A flag
stone walk leading to this spot is
a perfusion of small flower plants,
each different from the other and
blazing in color. His Japanese
Juniper Alba's are priced by hirt
at $50 apiece. Several small
Douglass FRS have been given
place in the corners SO as to let
them have full chance to grow,
These trees when full grown reach
heights of 80 feet or more. Mr.
Coll also has specimens of Califor-
MIA Red Wood and Cedar. These,
he stated, were very hard to grow
in this section of the country.
The Alpine Poppies, which bloom
all summer long, also have their
place in the maze of flowers Coll
claims that his are the only ones
in this country. A white lattace
pumphouse is covered with climb
ing roses which all but hide it
from view.
One of his oldest trees is what
he calls the Monkey Puzzle. 1t Is
of a fir bearing variety and be-
cause of the odd placement of its
limbs it is claimed to be among
the few that the monkey cannot
climb.

Fire Was Worst
KreWsOn Ever
Fought, He Says
Four Houses Destroyed by
Flames Which Swept
Nearby Woods
ONLY ONE REPORTED
TO BE OCCUPIED
Between Six and Seven Thou
sand Acres of Forest Burn
ed Over - $50 Men Com
bated Flames

Tales of the forest fires which
swept many sections of the south
ern part of the county are being
told today as the fires have been
subdued, after burning over a wide
territory, and those driven from
farms in the vicinity of the flames
have returned to their homes.
First reports that entire villages
and scores of houses had been de-
stroyed have been discredited, with
the report of Fire Warden Ray
mond Krewson that but four hous-
es were burned. ALI of these were
small, three of them being unoccu-
pied. The house which was inhab-
tied was located in Mckee City.
THE fire was the worst have
ever fought" Mr.. Krewson declar-
ed yesterday. 1t burned over six
or seven thousand acres of forest
land. We had about $50 men out
fighting it Sunday, Monday all day
and night, and Tuesday all day, up
to midnight Tuesday.
"As far as we can learn, it was
started by an automobile which de-
posted sparks in the vicinity of
the Westcott farm in Mays Land
ing. 1t smouldered in the swamp
all Sunday, and broke out Monday"
The woods burned, it was repor-
ted. had been swept by the flames
other years, and offered nothing to
the fire but brush which had grown
within the past IL to "a months.
Home sites in the sections burned
had been cleared of trees for wide
distances and were thus out of dan
ger. providing proper watch was
maintained.
E. J. Richmond, we'll known
swimmer, while warning farm own
ers of the approach of flames, near
~ lost his machine when it became
stuck in the sandy road. After
hard work, he got the car out and
escaped.
A number of women whose hus-
buds were working in this city or
the resort, had to flee before the
flames, expecting entire loss of ev
erything left behind. Among these
we're Mrs. Carr, the Connors, and
Mr.. Mierki, who live in the vi
entity of the Stahl farm in Bar
gaintown.
They were surprised upon re-
turning, to find their homes stand
ing. In some case the fire had en-
tered their door yards but the
dwelling escaped, while chicken
coops and other outbuildings were
destroyed.
Samuel Price, of Bargaintown, an
experienced forest fire fighter. with
a number of men in that section,
assisted fire wardens during the
early part of the week by trans
porting men and fighting the fires.
A suggestion has been made that
the State should employ men to
burn portions of the forest land
off early in the year that the fires
may not gain Roadway as they have
in the past few weeks. 1t is de-
clared that after every fire num-
Der of settlers leave the woods be-
cause they fear they will lose their
lives and homes should another
fire occur.

casions when time and service are
elements of the greatest import
ance in saving life and property.
The price named in the bid sub
mitted by the company was $4,000.
The advertisement calling for bids
specified American LaF'rance
equipment. Several other bids
were submitted. Councilman Nor
ris moved that all bids not in &C
cordance with the advertisement
be rejected.
Councilman Kurtz spoke in favor
of the observation-disclosures engine.
He moved that it be accepted.

All members of the council were
present. There was only one neg
alive vote. 1t was that of Coun-
Gilman Cook. He was invited to
ask representatives present for
specifications of fire
engines, but he said he did not
care to do 80.
The largest number of men and
women who have appeared at

ell in long time attended the

The greater number OF people
