This Is to Be Our Official Slogan. — Board of Trade Will Secure
Five Cent Trolley Fare Through Borough.—Mail Facilities.
The Board of Trade held an enthusi
astic and lengthy meeting on Monday
eventing in -the office of the president, R.
(P. Thompson. Many important matters
were considered.
Tlte following communication was
read;
iPleasantville, X. J., March 9th, 1912.
J. Norman Shinn, Secretary,
The Board of Trade of
Pleosantville, X. J.
: Dear Sir:
We acknowledge receipt of your com
munication of the 5th in relation to the
collection of two fares within the Bor
ough limits, which we have found nec
essary on account of not operating
through service. We iiave given this
matter careful consideration, not only
from our point of view, but from a pub
lic point of view, and have concluded to
grant you tills concession; more espec
ially on account of being interested in
the movement which your Board has un
dertaken and our desire to do anything
in our power to help the interests of
Pleasantville. in so far as it means no
financial loss or interference with our
operation.
Therefore we will at once take this
matter up in view of arranging for a
transfer to be issued from our Pleasant -
v>i tie station to passengers who necessa
rily must change cuts at this point and
desire to ride in either direction within
the Borough limits. We will advise
your Board when we are in position to
make public announcement of this fact,
which will be as soon as we can grit
transfers printed.
Yours very truly,
Atlantic & Suburban Bailway Co.,
R. A. OALE.
Superintendent.
The water question was again discuss
ed at length. Mr. William Wyand. who
has had considerable experience in the
• M
erection of water plants, stated that a
proper municipal plant could be install
ed for $00,000, and that the operating
expenses of such a plant would be $!>,
300 per year. This would give 16 in.
mains along the New Road, 12 in. along
the Shore Road, and 8 in. along Wash
ington avenue, Woodland avenue and
Park avenue, and 46 fire hydrants. The
water to toe supplied from two artesian
wells. The last well bored in Pleasant
ville is 140 feet deep, 6 in. lim diameter,
and gives 450,000 gallons of the very
best water in ten hours. It was report
ed that the Water Company had recent
ly changed hands, and in order , to give
them a fair chance it was decided to
invite them to send a representative to
the next meeting to discuss the matter
with .the board.
The subject of a slogan was next con
sidered, and the suggestion made by Mr.
Wm. M. Goff was adopted, viz.:
‘BEST TOWN ON THE MAP.”
Mr. Goff donated the $5 gold piece,
which be had won, to the Board of
Trade. There were more than sixty
suggested, among them being the fol
lowing:
Pleasantville—the Queen of Shore
Towns.
Prosperous Town Near Atlantic City.
The Sunshine Town.
The Pleasant City by the Bay.
WheTe It’s 'Worth While Hiving—
Pleasantville.
Don’t Hesitate, Perambulate, perceive
progressive Pleasantville.
Pleasantville for Progress and Pros
perity.
For the good of the town.
Prosperous, Progressive Pleasantville
—City of Opportunity.
Pleasantville for Everybody — Every
Ixxlv for Pleasantville.
Pleasantville Must Grow-—Buy a
Home.
(Concluded on Fifth Page.)
School Election Next Tuesday
Board of Education Asks the Voters for $8,270.00.—Four Mem
bers to be Chosen.—Schools Now Overcrowded.—
No Fire Escapes.
The Tegular monthly meeting of the
Board of Education of (Pleasant ville was
held on Tuesday evening, March (i.
Those present were Messrs. Champion,
Helfrich, Leeds, Long. Nelson, Reed, Ste
phenson and Wells. Principal E. J. Ha
zelton and Attendance Officer Winch
were also present.
The (Principals reports showed that
the attendance for -February was very
good in view of the extreme weather
conditions. The Attendance Officer re
ported that he had been able to supply
30 pares of shoes and 15 pairs of stock
ings to needy children out of Hie funds
subscribed at the Union Meeting in Wes
ley Church. The committee in charge
of these funds have done everything pos
sible to see .that a wise use of the mon
ey was mode, and deserve much credit
for their labors.
The Clerk reported tliat the State In
spector of (School 'Buildings lisud inform
ed him and the President that the State
Department would not approve fire es
capes on two-story buildings. As no
improvement can be made without the
approval of Hie State authorities, it was
decided that it would Ibe useless to in
clude the cost of fire escapes in next
year’s budget. However, it was ordered
that fire drills ibe organized *in all the
schools, and practiced twice a month.
A number of bills were ordered paid,
and some minor repairs were referred to
Hie Building and Repair Committee.
The Finance Committee presented the
following budget for next year, which
was adopted, and ordered to be referred
to the legal voters at the Annual Meet
ing on Tuesday, March lbtli, at 8 p. m.:
Current expanses .$4,500.00
Insurance on ISchool buildings.. 75.60
Repairs to buildings and remov
ing (partitions . 650.00
Medical Inspector . 500.00
Attendance Officer . 570.00
New roof, etc., and painting
School No. 3 . 450.00
Sinking Fund tin State Bonds.. 1,000.00
Reseating two buildings . 325.00
$8,270.60
The $13,500 bond issue held by the
State of New Jersey has no provision
made for sinking fund, and hence the
necessity of asking for $1,000 this year.
There is $1,500 to the credit of these
bonds now in the First National Bank
of Plcasantville, but as $11,500 of the
issue is payable in 1915, it was thought
wise by the (Board 'to make additional
provision this year, to pay off the am
ount when it falls due. Provision will
also have to he made tin 1913 and 1914.
The schools are now overcrowded, so
that a general transfer of pupils was
autliorized in School No. 2, where one
teacher ha* 59 on the roll, while the
law only permits 45 to one teacher.
There is a class in -the basement of the
mew building at School No. 1, and the
two class rooms of that ‘building am*
both in use and one of the small recita
tion rooms on -the second floor is being
used this year. In order to relieve the
congestion at School No. 1, it is propos
ed to make certain alterations by remov
ing two partitions on the second floor,
thus throwing the four snjkll recitation
rooms into two regular class rooms for
grammar grades, which would make
room for about 90 Seventh and Eighth
grade pupils.
No. 3 School lias a leaky roof and
needs painting -badly, and the Board is
asking the voters for money to do this
work.
Notices of -the election were ordered
to be posted at C. Hackney & Sons. L.
B. Rvon’s,- the three school buildings,
R. M. Willis’s and Charles Nelson’s.

BOOST PLEASANTVILLE.
AH Pleasantville is active and pros
j pects for the brightest year-in the histo
j ry of the borough are before us. With
! business enterprises of all kinds rapidly
increasing, the population constantly be
ing enlarged, our citizens alive to the
necessity of public improvements such
as sewerage, paved sidewalks and streets,
the Mayor and Council active and a
Board of Trade which promises much,
surely we are on the verge of a wonder
ful advancement. Every citizen should
boost for Pleasantville whenever the op
portunity presents itself, and we should
be thoroughly united and harmonious
C
for the public welfare. The Pleasant
ville Press is ever found in the forefront
in the battle for Pleasantville and her
people. As per our motto, “Home First,
the WoAI Afterwards,” we have thought
that While the sentiment is strong for
a big boost it would be well for the
borough’s official newspaper to issue a
booster edition, which we propose to do
on Wednesday, April 3rd, with an at
tractive colored Easter cover. It is ex
pected to have an unusually large circu
lation, and it is our intention to make it
as great an advertisement for Pleasant
ville as the support accorded the enteo
prise will justify. We ask the support
and assistance of all our friends, and
offer a limited amount of advertising
3paee for sale. Ho your part; we guar
antee to do ours.
