LANDIS OR CENTRAL AVENUE T There ia apparently a division of opinion among the residents ol Soa Isle City as to whether Central Avenue to Townsend's inlet, or Landis Avenue to tbe Inlet, should be taken over by tbe County , and Improved as a County road. The matter will come up before tbe Freeholders fur action at their meeting 011 Tuesday next, at Cape May

Court House.

There is merit in tbe arguments presented on both sides. Landis Avenue la tbe main artery of 'travel through the City, and is ou a direci Hue from Stratbmcre to Townsend's Inlet. It Is graded and through the centre of the f town, is well paved, thus saving much expense to ibc county in putting the

road in shape.

a On the oth<r hand, the building of Central Avnue would open much un developed land, and would return Un I City and County greater taxes from tbe property along the road, it would give the City two stm-is lor its entire length, wheie it now has only one. la a aide road, has no trolley tracks, and would not be as congested in the summer as would Lanuis Avenue. | Those who are ob.ocuuj to one or ! the other route should uol lit the.; I Objections blind them io the main U [ sue, which is to have one or the otlu1 taken over and improved. This is uu ! yet a certainty, and it a con trovers, ^develops locally, it is almost cvflair, that tbe Board of Freeholders wll drop the matter cult rely, i Let ox have a road. Whether it it to he Landis Avenue, or Central A\e aue. can he safely Mi up to the Board, which itvard the arguments v-f both aides at the public beartug last week. ATI END TUESDAY'S HEARING. !
