OBJECT TO PROPOSED OCEAN BOULEVARD Delsgalion Present Petition Opposing Movement For Corson’s Inlet Bridge and County Boulevard ;

809 Signers, mostly from Cape Maf & Wildwood

The regular meeting of the Board Chosen Freeholders held at the Court itonse, Cape May Court House, Tuesday last was attended by a dele, gatkin of representative taxpayers and citizens from the County, chiefly from the Wildwood and Cape May districts, for Uie purpose of registering their objections to the const ruction of the projected Ocean Bonlevard by which it proposed to link together the several coast resorts of Uie county fr City to Cape May by tbeconstrucUonof bridges over Ue* several intervening h ts and Uie bnilding of several miles of additional roadway, and Uiereby establish direct communication between Uieniand avoiding Uie nec having to lake Uie more ronnd-abonl route* by way of the main seashore road, at an estimated cost of about one million

dollars.

The delegation presented

Board petitions bearing the signatures of

“of* **xpayer* residing within

Uie county, including Wildwood. Wildwood Crest. Cape, May, Cape May Point, the Townships of Rrw. r. Middle, Dennis snd Upper, airongfj^iruu-stiiig against Uie expenditure of tin-tax payers' money

for snob purpose at Uiis time.

Congo ssuian J. Thompson Baker,' Philip Baker, Fraq| and William H. Bright, of Wildwood, and LuUier V. Ogden, of Ca[* May, were the spokesmen for Uie delegation, who declared that the basis of tlieir objectioi was not the project itself but Uie enormous cost thereof and the addiUonai burden it would place on the taxpayers of Uie county, as well as the damaging effect the increase in taxation necessary carry ent such a project would have upon Uie future growth and prosperity of Uie county, particularly the uiast resorts. Tlie genUemeu were if Uie

opinion that Uie present is a

opportue*. time for the promotion gf

surh an expensive pr^oaition ; * taxable valuations do not w arrant it; that it oould not bei

fully financed ; that the carrying charges, alone would neBfessiufte a much higher rate of taxation Uian Uie County could legally impose, while the expense ol

maintenance, which cannat be

mated, would add still Tnrther to the

annual cost.

H was the expressed opinion of Uie delegation Uiat at some future Ume such a proposition woub* twelve Uie united support of Uie tax/ jih of Uie county, but not unUI the t£,ttile valuation* had greatly increased***! the County a outd be thus financially prepared to assume the additional burdep Uiat such a gigantic proposition would entail, and which cs0d be assumed by the county without, at Irast, increasing Uie.bnrden of taxation beyond Uie present rate, already so high a* to arrionaly affect Uie future growth and prosperity of Uie coast resorts.
