PLEASANTVILLE TRUST COMPANY BUILDING.
The above is an excellent likeness of the exterior of the building, which is
two stories high, of brick, and very attractive in appearance. The banking room
is modernly equipped with all the appliances known to up-to-date banking, the
furnishings and fixtures are of mahogany and the trimmings of Vermont marble,
and the vault is absolutely fire and burglar proof and one of the best in South
Jersey. The second floor consists of nine well-appointed office rooms, several of
which have already been rented. The architect was S. Hudson Vaughn of Atlantic
I Qity and the builder James Yates of Pleasantville.
Mayor Charles J. Adams
Became Chief Executive of Pleasantvilie at
Noon New Year’s Day.—Addresses
the People and Makes Appointments.
The Mayor and Council of Pleasant
ville met in Council Chamber at 10.45
o'clock New Year’s morning, for the
purpose of turning over the government
of the borough to those elected last No
vember as tlifcir successors. Present
were Mayor Crawford, Councilmen Zent
mayer. Leeds, Conover and Rvon, and
Clerk Andrews.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
The financial statement of the clerk
was read and accepted.
A Resolution was passed transferring
money from one account to another in
order to make up deficiencies.
All the business of the administration
having been disposed of, retiring Mayor
Crawford made an address, in which he
thanked the Councilmen for their sup
port during his term of office and asked
that the same be continued to the in
coming Mayor. He expressed regret at
his departure, as every Councilman had
proven himself a thorough gentleman
and loyal in his efforts for the borough’s
interest, but as the time had rolled
around for him to give up the reins of
government, he did so willingly and
with best wislies for the success of the
incoming Mayor.
The hour for the terms of the new offi
cials to begin having arrived, viz.: 12
o’clock noon. Mayor Crawford turned
over the gavel t® 'Mayor Charles J. Ad
ams, and Councilman Archie Willis took
his seat, Councilman MoAuney being
absent.
The Council room was filled with tax
payers and others, and before the as
semblage Mayor Adams delivered an ad
dress in which he said;
Fellow members of Council and Citi
zens of Pleasantvilie: ,
The time has now arrived when, un
ders the laws of the Borough, it becomes
necessary for the Borough Council to
meet for the purpose of reorganizing for
the year 1912. and for the purpose of
seating the newly-elected members.
Having received the honor of being
eleeted Mayor of this Borough at the
last election, I want to state that I ful
ly realize the responsibilities of the
office to which the people saw fit to
elect me, and shall endeavor to fulfill
the office of Mayor to the best of my
ability, and to he Mayor of all the peo
ple, rather than of any one party or
faction; and to this end I most respect
fully ask the assistance of the members
of Council, the citizens of Pleasantvilie,
and all of the officers on whom fall the
duties of conducting the affairs of the
Borough.
To the business men of Pleasantvilie.
those who have their capital invested in
the Borough’s enterprises, I most espec
ially ask that you form an organization
along the lines of the Business Men’s
League, of Atlantic City, and interest
yourselves in the actions of Council:*
and I believe that Council would only
be n too glad to have your assistance, for
while Council should never be afraid to
shoulder its responsibility, yet a helping
hand is better any time than a knock.
Such organizations of Business Men
have proven valuable aids to Councils
in many cities, and there is no reason
why it should not do so for Pleasant
vilie.
In assuming the office of Mayor it is
my intention to carry out as far as pos
sible the pledges made to the people
before the election, and for this purpose
I ask the assistance of the entire Bor
ough Council, as all pledges were such
as would benefit the whole Borough and
not a few individuals.
It shall be my duty, along with the
Council, to see that the taxpayers of
Pleasantvilie receive a dollar’s return
for a dollar expended, and each commit
tee under whose supervision the various
moneys are expended, should care for
the Borough’s finances with the same
care which they would exercise in the
expending of their own moneys.
In the matter of appointments, it 1s
not my intention to try to build up any
political machine, but rather to appoint
men with the sanction of Council whose
ability shall be their recommendation;
And each one so appointed should rea
lise that wlien he fails to perform the
duties of his office in a business-like
manner, his usefulness to the Borough
ceases, and he not only injures himself
in the etes of the people, hut also the
Mayor and the Council who appointed
him.
’ - - A v ' j" _
And in conclusion I ask that you do
not be too hasty in your judgment of
the Mayor and his fellow Councilmen.
Various matters will have to come be
fore them which are now unseen, and
should they fail to do their duty by the
Borough, the people have the power to
see that they cannot do the same thing
again.
The Mayor then appointed the follow
ing officials:
Solicitor—.Ridge E. A. Higbee.
Overseer ot. the Poor—Daniel S. Ed
wards.
Surveyor--John P. Ashmead.
Board of Health—Wm. 'L. Anderson,
Charles- Shewell, H. C. Thomas, Thomas
F. Crawford.
All of which were confirmed by the
Council.
He also named George Biggs as Street
Supervisor, but this nomination was not
confirmed.
And the following Council Commit
tees:
Finance—Messrs. Ryon, Conover and
Leeds.
Ordinances—Messrs. Willis, McAnrw-y
and Conover.

‘SANTA’S PRESCRIPTION.”
The Sunday School of Salem M. E.
Church held its Christmas exercises last
Friday night. Members of the school
took part in a cantata. Roger Williams
was “Uncle Sam”; Miss Maud Stebbins
was “Columbia”; Lester Helfrich took
t'he part of "Santa Claus”; Miss Hulda
Newell was “Mrs. Santa”, find Charles
Bowen was “Nickie”. The entertain
ment was enjoyed by a crowded house.
Following is the synopsis briefly, as
transposed by Mr, James Ryon. Jr.:
•‘Uncle Sam desires medicine with
which to keep the States of the Union
satisfied, and to keep the North. East,
South and Western sections from quar
reling, so as to make the whole family
one of harmony. Honoring Santa as the
Doctor, Uncle Sam asked the former’s
advice, and was given the following pre
scription by Santa. Fill the stockings
with Patriotism, add equal parts of
Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men,
giving a goodly portion of Love. Charity
and Patience. To be given in liberal
doses when their systems get out of
order.”
Uncle Sam tills the prescription, doses
the States and the cure is effected.
The entering by the North, East,
South and West, represente, by Misses
Stelle D. Zippier, Helen Douglass. Agnes
Risley and Marjorie Naylor was very in
teresting. There was a tot representing
each State and Territory in the Union,
arranged in accordance with size and
age of the respective States, and the in
dividual recitations and singing by the
still smaller stars brought, by far, the
most amusement.
The Cantata was a huge success in ev
ery way and Mrs. Arthur Ryon, Mrs.
George Smith. Mrs. William H. Mathis
arid Mrs. Somerville, are to be given
credit for the able manner in which they
arranged the production of the enter
tainment.
FAMILY REUNION.
There was a reunion of the Hall fam
ily during the holidays, when Mr. and
Mrs. A. C. Hall entertained their child
ren. giving a special dinner in their hon
or New Year’s day. Of the family there
were present: Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon O.
Rohn and daughter Lucille, of Lancas
ter, Pa.; Mr. and -Mrs. Robert Ray, of
Youngstown, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Hall and sons, Wilbur and Jack, of
New York City; Mr. and Mrs. Harry L.
Kumpf and son Russell, of Atlantic
City; H. T. Hall and E. C. Hall, of New
York; Miss Alice M. Hall and Mr. and
Mrs. A. C. Hall. In addition there was
present Mr. Robert Barkell, of New

AT CHRIST C. M. CHURCH.
The Christmas entertainment held on
Dec. 27th was a grand success in every
way. The program was lengthy, but
interesting from start to finish. The
children rendered their many exercises
without a mistake, and the manner in
which the whole affair was executed
gives Mrs. Randolph Price unstinted
praise for her faithful and careful train
ing of the whole school. The opinion of
those present is that the last given is
one of the best ever brought before the
public in the way of a church enter
tainment. The church was packed to
the door, about 200 being unable to get
inside and many coming a long distance,
which caused much regret. The tab
leaux caused much comment.
The first consisted of clouds, stars and
three angels, a stable and manger, to
represent the Birth of Jesus, an appro
priate solo being sung by R. 0. Brown,
“Rest Thee,” by request.
Another scene which was a wonder to
many and held the people spellbound,
was that of a large gold harp, with Miss
Emma Price sitting playing and Ohas.
Happersett with a violin, the secret be
ing that concealed were Steward Irelan
and Eugene Risley playing string in
struments. The little tots kept perfect
time in a graceful manner to the music.
In the second scene on the flood Night
they fell asleep. This affair was arrang
ed by Steward Irelan, and he very skil
fully modeled and made the gold harp,
which could not be discerned from a real
one. Many thanks to the young men of
the Orchestra.
The last scene consisted of Mr. and
.Mrs. Santa, frost fairies, fairies, queens,
tree and holly, and others, ending with
a real live snow storm, after which
there were gifts from the tree for the
scholars.
Mrs. Price received from the Sunday
school a gold fountain pen. and a silver
set from friends. Superintendent and
teachers were not forgotten.
The school numbers now 120 on the
Roll; the collections are good, on Dec.
24 bring $6.06. The superintendent,
Randolph Price, is well pleased with the
school, and is still striving to interest
more in the work. Next Sabbath the
Cross and Crown system will be adopt
ed.
The watch night services were con
ducted on Sunday evening by Rev. .T. R.
Price arid Rev. Sully, of Philadelphia,
which was a victorious meeting. Two
came -forward to the altar, one conver
sion just as the old year was passing
out. We are praying for a tidal wave
of salvation to sweep over Christ Church
and vicinity.
