the carpenters as favorable to such
a change so that they may compete
with the union men coming into

RINGSIDE JUDGING
DEMONSTRATIONS

The New Jersey State Poultry
Association is to stage its first show
in connection with its annual meet
ing in Atlantic City with the expec-
tation that it will stand out as the
greatest of its kind in the country.
1t will be open to the public next
Tuesday on the Steeplechase Pier
For the first time in the history
of poultry shows in New Jersey,
and, it may be in the world, the
utility classes will rank even with
the standard bred classes. The
founders of the show, realizing the
trend of the times is that poultry
must represent the en-
tire industry, have included every
phase of the business in the pros
pective display.
The hen with the egg record is
going to occupy as prominent a po-
sition as the hen that carries the
right amount of flesh, has a clean
shank and is true to type of the
breed. The day of the fancier will
never wane, but the day when
hen that produces will be equally
recognized is here.

Increase In Tax Rate Will
Be Little, 1t Is Said
Values in Ansley Park Alone Will Add Much to Assessed
Valuation of City, Possibly Offsetting Increase
Account of New High School

Those who advocate the building
Of the new $635,000 high school
have had some figuring done to
ascertain as nearly as possible Just
how much the tan rate will be III
creased next year.
There is an impression current
that the tax rate will be greatly
increased. Some say it will be over
$500 per hundred. Last year it
was $500 per hundred.
Advocates Of the high school re-
fer to the fact that the assessed
valuation of the City of Pleasant
vile last year $11.000.00o. On this
basis the tax rate was $500 per
hundred.
1t is estimated that the amount
to be raised by taxation to meet
the situation arising from the new
high school will be $4,000 next
year.
II the assessed valuation of the
city is not increased. but remains
at 81. 100000, it is stated that she
tax rate next year on account of
the new high school, will be $3.50
per hundred. 1t will cost one-half
a cent on dollar to carry the new
high school.

Hurt
When Struck By
Auto On Street

Charles Wood, of Wesley avenue,
a collector for the Atlantic City
Gas Company, is in the Atlantic
City hospital with a possible frac-
tured skull as the result of an acct
dent at Main street and Washing
ton avenue this morning. His con-
dition is serious. Wood was riding
"a bicycle on Washington avenue.
when a Ford coupe driven by Miss
Elsie Carr. of Adams avenue,
struck him. The impact threw him
to the curb, where his head struck
the pavement. Miss Carr is being
held on bail by local police, pend
ing the outcome of Woods injuries.
The accident happened at $50
o'clock. Miss Carr had turned right
into East Washington avenue from
Main street, when her car struck
Wood. For several minutes the
crowd that gathered made no effort
move to help the injured man, and
it was not until Edward Davis, an
employee of the Palace garage,
drove up with car to rush the
victim to the hospital that anything
was done.
Miss Carr was hysterical for
several minutes after the accident,
and friends helped her into near
by store to help her recover. There
were a number of witnesses to the
accident, and the large crowd
which gathered made things diff
cult for traffic officers for a short
time.
Wood is married and has child
rem. He has been in the employ of
the gas company for a number of
years and is wellknown here.

Hall Project Is
StOrmed Daily
By Unemployed
Officials Say That More Than
1000 Apply For Work
Each Morning
EXPECT TO TAKE ON
FEW MORE MEN SOON
Construction Company Heads
Say That Preference Is Al
ways Given to Men From
Resort and Mainland

While work on the new conven-
ton hall in Atlantic City is going
steadily forward with the small
force of workers employed, those
in charge of the construction have
been hard pressed within the past
few weeks to find something to do
for the literal army of unemployed
which gathers each morning at the
job in search of work. No more
than 80 or 40 men are steadily EN-
pfoyed at present, and officials of
the NJ B. MARYLAND Company,
which is handling the project. esti-
mated that more than 1000 build
ing trades workers apply daily for
employment on the scene of the
job.
It Is stressed today by one Of
these officials that great care is
being exercised to select men who
are residents of this county. There
seems to be an impression that we
are not treating local labor fairly"
he said, But we can assure you
that we are at all times careful to
ascertain where man is from
before we give him employment.
The building trades workers of
Atlantic City and the Mainland are
at all times given preference.
Within short time a few more
carpenters and laborers will be
taken on, according to those in
charge, but there will be no great
increase in employment. No pre-
diction could be made as to when
the project would call for workers
in great numbers, and it was indi-
Gated by the construction heads
that it would be quite impossible
for the project to ever take up the
surplus of labor which exists in
the section.
