10 FORCE ACTION ON
E
L
Commission to Go After Read-
ing on Kaighn Avenue
; " , Project
SAY PATIENCE EXHAUSTED
Th'e Camden Hnrbor Commission will
back tlio fight of tlie South Camden
Business Men's Associations and other
civic organizations to compel the Phil
adelphia nnd Heading Hallway to Imild
the promised $1,000,000 fcrrj and train
terminal at Kaighn avenue.
George W. Hrndley, chairman of the
commission, lias nnnnumed that -that
organization is tired of having the rail
tay postpone the construction work on
various excuses and will take steps to
'fopce the erection of the edifice
"The people of Camden have been
Yorv patient with the Reading Rait
way In so far as the building of the
terminal nnd ferrv is .oncerned. said
Mr. Bradlev, "but excuses can no
Jonger be accepted. It is up to the
railroad to make good its promise or
the Harbor Commission nnd probably
City Council will take the fight over
their heads to the railroad administra
tion. I am sick and tired of granting
extensions of time to the railroad rhej
must keep their promise to gne Cam
den a new terminal and feu or at
least give a definite outline of their
contemplated action.
"I want to congratulate the South
Camden business men for taking up
the matter," continued Mr. Braille),
"because it will give the Harbor Com?
-mission an nnnortnniU to help in the
tight for n decent building. The pres
ent Kaighn nvenue terminal is un
sightly, inadequate and nn eyesore
Mr. Bradicy announced that n special
meeting of the Hnrbor Commis
sion had been called for next Fridnv
night at the City Hall. He states that
an invitation has ngain been extended
to the Heading officials to send a rep
resentative to the meeting to present
the railroad's excuse for failing to ful
fill its contract. Previous invitations
to attend Harbor Commission meetings
had been ignored by the railroad heads,
Mr. Bradley states.
"Like all corporations, I nm of the
opinion that the Heading Hnilwav is
trying to tnke advantage of war lon
dltions to dodge responsibility nnd slide
out of its contract." exclaimed Mr.
Bradley, who further stated that if the
railroad ndmitiistrrtiou will not wine
Inn' the building tf a new terminal it
should nt least give n satisfactory an-
swer to the people of Camden. i
"Plans look very well on paper, but i
what the Camden people want is the
terminal nnd fcrryhouse," concluded
Mr. Bradley.
Councilman Hichard S Carney, of
the Fifth Ward, has also interested
himself in th" fight for the terminal
and ferry.
Mr. Carney said he is perfectly will
ing to do an) thing in his power to as
sist in the movement. He said he did
not know whether City Council would
Interest, itself in the matter.

but n carofiil analysis of the vnrlous
assignments for this addition shows that
approximately CO per cent of the money
Is diverted to courses other than for
teachers' salary Increases.
Teachers Keep Up Fight
County superintendents nic lo have
nn Increase through an expense allow
ance, which is provided for both sup

the elementary schools, vocational edu
cation and other branches of education
al work need more money for expan
sion, which must be taken core of In

tion. The school teachers of the state nre
planning for tin invasion of the Legis
lature at a further hearing to be
granted on the Woodrdff bill, nnd prac
tically every largo community will Send
delegates here to ask that some means
be found to extend better compensation
to the teachers of the public schools.
It Is only n question of funds nnd tho
legislator who finds some method of
producing more stnte revenue thnt will
take care of the teachers' salary in
crease is going to be a mighty popular
fellow.
Considerable sentiment for a short
recess of the Legislature during Gover
