BRIDGETUWK - Tt» ' Woodruff Oil Company will assist any home owner or small business organization apply for special solar energy grants which expire September 30. announced J. Alan Woodruff. Company Vice President. The grants, which amount to $400 each ing cash, are available to the first 1.725 applicants who meet the criteria. About half of the grants are still a\ lablc . said Wo«*druff. In some states, all of tliem have been given out. Here in New Jersey there seems to have been

less-than-adequate effort made to explain the advantages cf the federal grants and solar energy in general, "said Woodruff. The $400 cash grant is really only a small part of the benefit a typical family can enjoy with a solar hot water heating system, he said. The free energy from the sun means a saving of $160 to $300 a year in energy costs to heat hot water. "This alone in ten years or so would pay back the total cost of a Grumman Sunstream hot water heating system such as we sell." Woodruff pointed out.

One of the first exclamations uttered by a visitor on an initial trip to Stone Harbor is: "Oh, what clean, wide, beautiful streets!" We have the Risley brothers—Howard, Reese and David—to thank for these streets. When The South Jersey Realty Co. took title to this town in 1907, they planned our lovely thoroughfares and beautiful basins. Development of Stone Harbor started at the Avalon border and.the first building, named the Abbotsford Inti, was erected in 1892. Six other "cottages” (very elegant for "cottages," I would say) took shape between 80th and 83rd Streets in the next few years to form the

original resort.

As long ago as 1889 the Founding Fathers were ’ enticing Pennsylvania People to Seven Mile Beach. The PRR extended service through Sea Isle City and Townsend’s Inlet , over to Avalon and south to Stone Harbor, and complimentary parlor car . excursions embarked from IPhiladelphia twice (sometimes thrice) a week. Dinner was served at the Abbotsford (rechristened the Harbor Inn) to the passengers. Stone Harbor Boulevard, with the Scotch Bonnet bridge and the Great Channel drawbridge came along in 1911. Before the railroad, the only way to get here was by boat from Benny’s Landing. Naturally no seashore resort is complete without a yacht club. The building which houses the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor was erected in 1911 by the Risleys and was enlarged in 1929 to its present dimensions. Did you know that our yacht club is known throughout the United States and Canada

as the home of the Comet? And of course another home of which we are justly proud is the Bird Sanctuary, dedicated in 1947 and»visited by nature lovers from around the world. Stone Harbor was incorporated as a borough in 1914 and has been making great strides ever since, thanks to an energetic council and Chamber of Commerce. Howard Risley was our first mayor, and James G. Wood is our present one. Ellis A. Mixntr was elected president of the CofC when It was organized in 1940, and Glenn Townley is top man at this writing. Do you know how Stone Harbor got its name? Marshall Fisher tells me that according to legend a Captain Stone, commander of a British merchant ship, sought refuge from a storm at sea, sailed into Hereford Inlet and dropped anchor in the Great Channel. Just thought summer visitors and newcomers night like to know a little of the history of Sonte Harbor, The Seashor At It Beat!
