•om for tb« purpose and with Stale Aid. by the constroctlon of the road and bridges between Orean City and Canon's Inlet on the north and the Cape May-Wild wood Crest road on the •oath. In my opinion, the host that can be expected by the State Highway Commission is to render State Aid In the building of the All Resort Boulevard to the extent provided by law; namely. 40<* of the cost of roads and

of the cost of bridges.

The earlier the Stale Roads. Routes 14 and 16 are resurfaced with a subpavement the soon-r the cost of maintenance to the County will be reduced. At the present time the of maintenance Is very heavy, and so long as gravel roads exist this cost will be Increased by reason of the higher cost of materials and labor. «mt the Increase of traffic thereupon. Should the State Highway Commission be Induced to divert In Its entirety. Cape May County's proportion of the 115.000,000.00 to the construction of the All Resort Bonlevard. and the County required, as would be the case, to snstnistn the gravel roads until such time as the All Resort Boulevard completed. It would be necessary before such completion, to resurface U> whole of the forty miles of Stati Roads, in fact. It Is even necessary a this time to resurface some portions thereof, and this would Incur a great

expense upon the County.

The bunding of the All Resort Boulevard Is very desirable and will, no doubt, prove of greet value t reaorta, but is a large undertaking, and its completion must necessarily depend upon, as before stated, the ability of the County administration to tncftr the necessary expense In a law tnl manner, and without Increasing the • ^ present limit authorised by law. 'pther words. I do not favor any action frat will, at this time, or during the coo tin nance of eresent conditions, increase the burden of taxation, and a conservative policy should govern, at' laast until normal times are again with

With Baird serving out the portion the Hughes term, from now until election and willing to retire then. Governor Edge would not be confronted later with a alt nation that might force him to make a fight against more than cm* other candidate for both the abort and full tenna. , Baird la one of the "war horses of the Republican party In this state. He has been sn active leader for fifty rM ra. mid he probably has a larger personal following than any other Republican In the state. If Governor Edge abould appoint either Colonel Austen Colgate or exGovernor E. C Stokea. both candidates for the Republican nomination for Senator, the appointee would undoubtedly gain a distinct advantage .'orember election to select a n Senator. This advantage might react against Governor when the time came for him to enter the race for the six-year term. CORSON’S INLET IDEAL FOR TIRED BUSINESS * Gus WUtkampp. of Corson's Inlet is one of the few along-shore-men who has been known to the evergrowing number of sportsmen for thirty years. He does not look any older than he did when he was associated with old Code Billy Peterson In caring for fishermen gunners many yet aays the “Shore” man of the Philadelphia North Ante near These are dull Bays at Corsont let so far as vial'.on are concei but for the mortally tired mail wants to get away off from the of life there I? no place where he can enjoy a few days quietness so as at Corson’s Inlet He has the ocean on one side and the inlet and Us many tributaries on the other, with ducks on every aide If he Ukee gunning. There is a charm about the winter ocean that Is not found in the summer ocean. The solitude of the beach, the salt cold In the sun os pi brown, seared marshland with Us winter bird life, all make the shore a restful and attractive place in the winter. Just at present the Inlets are covered with snow-burdened fee and there an arctic-Uke scene stretching In

every direction.
