UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
POLITICS IN JENKINTOWN.
Addition of Third Ward in York Road
Borough Complicates Situation.
Matters politically In Jenkintown
an already decidedly interesting, al-though
the election is distant u couple
ol months. This condition of affairs
is brought about by the recent divi-sion
of the borough, by which an ad-ditional
ward is created—the Third.
The Court order making an adltion-al
ward was the actual preliminary to
the increase in number of Council-men
by three; an equal increase in
the number of School Directors, and
the election of a full complement of
ward officers.
In th" selection of the three Third
Ward Councilmeo the light will rest
between Andrew (irahani, Warren H.
Preutsel, Robert A. Lute, and Fred.
Chase. For School Director between
Wilson K. Clemmer; William Arm-strong.

real estate assesurs, an office carrying

ami Main Hughes.
The new Third Ward comprise the
newer part of .lenklntown—that part
lying east of "Old Jenkintown" near
the attractive Chelten Mills, and peo-pled
almost entirely by well-known
Philadelphia business men who live
in the suburban section.
in both Cheltenham ami Abington
townships a political battle is brewing.
The plum is the township treasurer-
■hip in both sections—n berth worth
several thousands of dollars each year.
In Cheltenham the three leaders in
the race are William H. Murphey. A.
.1. Nlttouer, L. S. Clayton and Kid
Koberle. Mr, Murphey is a former
Assemblyman, and is the present sec-retary
to the Board of Commissioners
of Cheltenham township.
In Abington township the candidates
so far in the field are Edwin Stapler,
of Abington; John llarmer. of Woldon,
and Louis I'a ret. of Noble.

PLANS FOR SPLENDID ROADWAY
120-foot Wide Boulevard Will Connect
Chestnut Hill and Bryn Mawr.
Lines have been laid and work will
begin within a lew weeks oh the boule-vard.
120 feet wide, Which will extend
from Chestnut Hill westward to Bryn
Mawr and Ardmore, a distance of near-ly
seven miles. A bridge higher than
the new one at Waln.i. lane, wil! span
the Wissahickim Creek and valley. It
will be constructed of reinforced con-crete
and steel girders. The long
bridge that will carry the boulevard
over the BchuylkUJ will be of steel
girders with abutments and piers of
Btone or concrete. The Chestnut Hill
end of the boulevard will be at or near
Wissahickon Inn.
The boulevard will pass under the
Pennsylvania Railroad near Higheland
Station. The bridge across the Wis-sahickon
will be a short distance from
the old Indian Rock Hotel site. The
boulevard will intersect Ridge avenue
at Roxborough a short distance from
Rei avenue, and will continue almost
directly westward to the Schuylkill,
which ti will across about halfway be-tween
Shawmont and Lafayette. The
west end of the Schuylkill bridge will
be at Bssey's Ford road.
The entire work, which will cost
about $2,500,000, will be carried on
by the estate of the late H. H. Hous-ton.
Mr. Houston purchased a strip
of land extending from the Wissahick-on
to the Scbuylkill River, in Upper
Roxborough. with a view to providing
for a broad road.
On each side of the boulevard will
be broad footwalks, grass plots and
shade trees. The road will form a
connecting link between the CSestnut
Hill or Philadelphia Horse Show and
fhat held at Bryn Mawr. It will also.
it is declared, open the country °n
both sides of the Schuylkill through
walch it passes. Permission to con-struct
the bridge across the Wissahick-on
was obtained last week from the
Commissioners of Fairmount Park.

Fire, which for a time threaten) I
the destruction Of the entire heart of
the village of Oreiand at noon yes-terday,
was iin.-iii\ controlled after
the destruction ol a residence proper-ty
occupied by two families, entail-!
ing an approximate loss of $6000. ^
()i.land is a village on the Bethle-hem
branch of the Reading Railway,
about two miles north of Qlenslde. j
The principal street is Plymouth an
en- . and on this treet sb large double
name houses, each si parated by only
I 11 w feet Of lawn space, owned by
William Albrecht. One near the end
was occupied by two families named
Burke and Munlove.
When the tire started both families
had scant time to save furnishings.
The nearest fire companies are at
Qlenside, Ambler and Jenkintown, the
latter companies being more than three
and one-half miles away. Alarms were
BSnl ill (0 all these places just as
soon as it was seen that the fire
threatened the entire row. Pending
arrival of the firemen Oreiand resi-dents
climbed on the roofs of adjoin-ing
houses and at Imminent peril to
themselves prevented outbreaks of
fire in any of the other five houses.
With the arrival of the firemen the
fight was comparatively easy.
The loss to Albrecht, owner, is ap-proximated
at $4000. and to each'of the
Burke and Manlove families approxi-mately
$1000. This last fire marks no
less than six serious blazes in the sub-urban
section north of Philadelphia
within the last ten days.
