A civic protective association is being

end of tho borough. Some of these
structures are not more than 15 by 15

room. They are locnted nenr some of
fhe most costly residences and aro on

seventy -live cents n week.
The purchasers ' are mostly persons
who have been forced to leave their
former homes when tho latter were Sold,
and in a number of instances the owners

The statement by Mr. Mitten point- J
out thnt trolley men in tills cit.v lead m

increased production. The nvcrnge dajV j s
pny of trolley men here, according to . E
the stntement, is S3.nl, winch repie
sents nn increase of 151.1 per cent in
tho ten-yenr period. The number of
