(Roofing Suburban J/omes

Ruberoid Strip-shingles make an instant appeal ‘o the man who looks for decorati ve value as well as extreme durability in the materials used in his home These shingles, with their surface coating of crushed slate in sage green, Venetian red or steel-blue, are ideal for suburban and country homes where there is a possibility ot great variety in color treatment. Their decorative value is enhanced by the fact that their patented form offers a variety in design and an opportunity for artistic blending of color tones.

Ruberoid Strip-shingles although massive in appearance, are economical to lay on account of their form. Their octagonal shape breaks a roof into pleasing lines, both diagonal and horizontal. Come in or phone us today for samples, prices, illustrated booklet, and further information.

legislation in the coming

session of the New Jersey Legislature, to limit all future taxes to the amount aeseaeed for 1922, and guarantes a five per cent, reduction every year after 1923 until a total o? twen-ty-five per cent, has been reached, was discussed last night in Newark, when the Executive Committee of the State League of Municipalities met with Governor-Elect Silrer and State Chairman of the Republican Com-

mittee. E. C. Stokes.

Mayor Irving Fitch, of Sea Isle City, a member of the Executive Committee of the State League, represented Cape May County at the conference. Just how this reduction is to be brought about, in the face of constantly growing costs of local, state and county government. Is the problem which the League and the Governor are grappling with.

COST $25 TO SKIMP OH CORD OF WOOD

George Albertson, of Corbin City,

Fined for Short Measure

It cost George Albertson, a farmer of Corbin City (formerly North Tuckahoe). twenty-five dollais to skimp on a cord of wood delivered to Mre. William Leech, of 604 Ocean avenue. Ocean City. Albertson agreed to sell at cord of ood to Mrs. Leech for 812. When the “cord'’ came it looked small, and she protested against the charge. He then agreed to accept 310, and this as paid by Mrs. Leech. Later measurements were taken of the "cord" and it was found that the wood delivered measured actually only a half cord. County Sealer of Weights and Measures Paul E. Carroll then got busy and had Albertson balled before a police court JusUce on Wednesday, and a fine of |25

was imposed.

T mean to break up the practice of short measure in cord wood,” said Mr. Carroll on Wednesday. "With the scarcity of fuel at present, it is eveh a greater crime than ordinarily to charge a high price for a cord of wood, and then deliver only part of a cord. I am watching other wood vendors, and checking up closely.”

"A school paper is a great invention." says an Ocean City High School student. “The school gels all the fame, the printer gets all the money and J»e staff geta all the blame.”
