THEMSSWC LINK IN ROADS UNIMPROVED NINE-MILE SECTION IN DELAWARE- OF MUCH = INTEREST TO SOUTH JERSEY RESORTS. IMPROVEMENT IB VITAL TO TWO STATES WITH FERRY IN VIEW How the good or bad roads in one ^ state may affect not only the state in which it is found, but adjoining states 1 well .As brought forcibly to the attention of the boosters of Cape May county and of the; Cape May-Lewes ferry in a news item from Georgetown, Del. While most of the state of Delais blessed with fine concrete ^ roads there is a nine-mile section be- ® tween Georgetown and Lewes which has been because of its clayey nature almost impassible this winter. When 1 the dryer summer arrives the road will of course be in muoh bettex_cen- j dition, but will leave, it is said, much to be desired from the viewpoint of , auto tourists. j Sussex county people have been clamoring for the improvement of ( I this particular stretch of road for i some time but there is no immediate i relief in sight unless pressure can be > brought to bear from all sections in- i crested- * . .... j | In the meantime the major part of 1 the county is centering its efforts in getting , favorable attention to' the ' project of building the Somers Point : to Beasley's Point bridge to connect the county in a direct line with northern travel- Other counties to the north are also interested in the ferry ' t because of the new line of travel that will be opened, realizing that the di- ! rect communication with southern I points will not only benefit the sowth- , ern tip of the state but will make it- '■ self felt all through the state COMMITTEE^ MEETING A meeting of the Committee who j are working to raise an Endowment | Fund of five thousand dollars for "Dabj ernade Cemetery was held at the S home of Mrs. Edward Learning, j Wednesday afternoon, March 1, 1922I These ladies are working steadily ! toward the desired goal and at each ! j meeting considerable progress is re- | ported. ! They are investing the money as | it is being raised in good, safe and j profitable interest bearing securities- | Contributions toward the Fund will ! be very greatlefully received by any member of the committee and they . would be pleased to have , subscriptions promptly paid. The ladies report a very pleasant afternoon at Mrs- Learning's, and the delicious refreshments which she served were much enjoyed by all. YOU CAN MAKE MONEY Here is a remarkable opportunity to build up a profitable business which should pay you at least $5,000 per year, give you excellent standing in your locality and allow you to conduct your business from your own . home We want to establish local distributers for Columbian Electric Light and Power, who can take over county roles rights. Initiative, honesty and a small amount of capital the only requirements. Excellent chance for farmer to add to his income.

171 ACTS PUT . ONJTATUTES 1 Edwards Signs Bill Curbing Rent t Gougers— Boxing and Morris 8 Canal Measures Approved. « t HOLD CANAL CONFERENCE s f New May Question Rent ( Boosts — Mrs. Brown's Firearms Bill 8 Also — Canal Commission to Get « Busy — Tenant's Plea to Court. 1 I Trenton. — Governor 'Edwards signed < measures passed by the New Jer- | legislature. Of the bills approved. | I 120 originate! in the assembly and 48 j in the senate Four joint resolutions | 1 approved. Important among the measures ap proved were the bill by Senator Mac- ■ to allow tenants to question in , court rent Increases of 85 per cent or ; | within three years, and that au- j i thorlzlng the Morris canal settlement. ■ He also signed the bill by Mrs. Catherine Brown of Jersey City requiring 1 merchants to keep a record of persons | to whom firearms are sold. The blU ' was amended In the senate to exclude . a clause which would require permits ; to be obtained before firearms could bought. The governor also approved a bill Senator Smith of Passaic county for the appointment of a commission to study rapid transit passenger facilities in North Jersey in connection with the development of the port of New Jeroey. _ Most of the Important measures were kept until last by the governor, who intends to send back in case of a veto, messages that will give his reasons for refusing to sign. He still has fifty-eight measures, Including bills and resolutions, awaiting action. Some of the veto messages, it. is predicted, will be hot. Tenant's Plea to Court The object of the Mackay Tenant ; bill is to allow a tenant, to question the fairness of a rent increase of 35 , per cent or more within three years. If a tenant's rent has been raised 1 35 per cent or more during the past three years he can go to court, where ' the burden of proof of the fairness [ of the rent demanded shall rest with the landlord. A landlord must furnish to the clerk of the court a bill of facts or particulars which shall set forth the grow ' Income derived from the property, together with all overhead or carrying ! costs, and the tenant must deposit with . the clerk of the court an amount of , money accepted as payment in full for, the rent for -the month previous. If the court decides the rent to be fair, and the sum of money deposited ■ by the tenant is not sufficient to sati Isfy the Judgment, the tenant must . pay the additional amount within five days, and if the judgment is not satisfled within that period, a warrant shall Issue for the removal of the tenant from the premises. If the court is satisfied that tl|£ increase was excessive, no tenant can ; be forced out of the home for two I years so long as his rent Is paid, un- . Ies6 the tenant Is proved to be ; tuallv objectionable, or where the landlord proves that the premises are desired ; for occupancy as a dwelling by either the landlord or a member of his 1m1 mediate family, or where the building ■ is io be alterated or demolished so . that a new building can be constructed. Canal Conference Soorf The Morris Canal bill signed was the Koegner measure. It creates a commission to secure possession of the Morris Canal. The commission consists of Judge William H. Spear of the Circuit Court, who lives In Jersey City; Frank H. Sommer of Newark, dean of the New York University ; and Louis A Focht of Trenton, engineer . for the State Board of Taxation. The • canal is held by the Lehigh Valley Railroad under lease. The commission may now proceed to negotiate with the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company for the abandonment of the canal from the Hudson River terminal to Philllpsburg. Mr. Sommer plans to get in touch . immediately with the pther members : and arrange for a series of public • meetings wherever they think there Is : enough Interest. | < After these hearings are over tne.i i commission will arrive at what It con- j i slders fair terms. These will be pub- 1 : llshed broadly In the newspapers to the -public feeling. Then, if the i reaction is satisfactory, according to | Mr. Sommer, a meeting of represents- ! tives of the Lehigh Valley and the 1 commission will be arranged, at whlcn tbe final agreement will be sought. ■ In the event that no agreement can 1 be reached, a report to that effect will be made to the next legislature. i Other Bill* Signed Important bills which Governor Ed- I wards signed Include the following: I Sennte 148 — Permits State Police Superintendent Schwarzkopf to name ( medical veterinary and other attendants and adds to the state police force, i Senate 168 — Increases fees for sher- t lfTs offices. j Senate 167— Defines the Palisades on the Hudson River with reference to c riparian rights. t Senate hill— Places a dentist on the t StatQ"fioart Of "Health and increases membership of Board to eleven. i Senate 166— Allows Vehicular Tunnel and Delaware Bridge Commission j to got lands and buildings taken over J i
