BEACH FRONT JOTTINGS

By r. L. M

County Again Fares Badly The N-w Jersey State Highway Commission met at Trenton lest week and apportioned the state money to be given to the various counties in the state to aid in the repair and building of county roads. As usual Cape May County got the smallest allotment in the state, despite the fact that it ranks tenth in real estate values, and perhaps, more travel per mile of road than any other county in the state, with the possible exception of Atlantic County. Of state aid in building new roads Cape May County gets nothing, and from the Motor Vehicle Fund (collected by the state from licenses to automobiles) it gets the magnificent sum of $40,000. Compare this with Burlington County, for instance Purling. ton gets $25,000 from the state aid fund and $185,000 from the motor vehicle monies. The taxable values of Burlington County are about $35,000,000, against Cape May County’s $38,000,000 Burlington County spends a little over $200,000 a year for the maintenance of its roads and county institutions, while this year Cape May County’s expenditures for the-same purposes is nearly

$400,000 1

Or take Ocean County, our seashore neighbor on the north. It receives $35,000 from the state aid fund, and $50,000 from the motor fund. Its taxable values are $20,000,000 and yearly expenditures approximate $100,000, or one-fourth of Cape May County’s. Salem County gets a total of $95,000 from the state, with taxable values of. $20,000 and annual expenditures for all oouuty purposes of approximately $100,000. And so on the entire twenty-one counties may be mentioned, and in each case it will be shown that, proportionately, Cape May County spends more on its road maintenance each year than eny other county, and yet it receives in actual dollars from the state this year LESS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTY. Cumberland County receives a total of $47,000; Gloucester County, $65,000. Both have taxable values under Cape May County. The smell County of Sussex, with values ten millions under Cape May County, gets $65,000. Of the bigger counties, Essex gets $225,000 ; Hudson, $210,000; Atlantic, $130,000; Camden, $137,000; Bergen, $260,000; Mercer, $*35.° {W ; Monmouth, $203,000; Passaic, $172,000; and Union, $85,000. Cape May County ranks nexi in values, and by the bounty and grace of the State Commission it receives $40,000! The county pays into the state its taxes on its valuations of nearly forty millions, and other counties, with lower valuations, receive the bene.' , vhile the taxj&yers here are obliged to dig still deeper to maintain its one hundred and thirty odd miles of roads over which tens of thousands of visiting motorists travel The thing is manifestly unfair, and points to deliberate and gross discrimination on the jart of the State Highway Commission agaiirt Cape May County.

Th* life 'avert are ont on the beach every day, looking after the aafety of tbe bathers, and are a fine eet of healthy and muscular young men. They are five in number, and are ready to give efficient service when required, aa was demonstrated last Sunday. Tbe bearh every day ia getting more crowded, and a constant watch is given for thoae who venture out too far in tbe pi the sport and beyond tbe aafety line before they are aware of it.

Every Wedneadav and Friday evening, tbe dances on the pier are well attended and are an attraction alao to thoae who do not care for this paatimi and plenty of aeata are pro-, ided for tbi comfort of these. A fall Jau archer tra supplies the music for the latent dances, anij at every number the floor it well fi|l»d. They begin at half paat nine, and this gives those who patroniae the movies and the dances, a chance to attend both. The floor is fine and is large enough to accomodate a good nnmbe

of dancers.

Back to 1776

When the American colonics decided to throw off the European

yoke, they set forth as one of their reasons,

“ He has combiued with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our

laws."

Would the proponeuta of the lx-aguc of Nations have us resume a status subject to such n jurisdiction ?

We have occasionally had what is known as a “revolving, fund,” but Secretary Glass has evidently established a “ revolving loan." He announces that there will be no more Lilietty Loans, but »ays that the requirements of the government in excess of income can be readily financed by rustic of trrasuiy certificates which may be ultimately refunded by the issue o! notes or I cuds without the aid of another great campaign. A sort of endless cliaiu of loaus conducted by the Secretary of the Treasury at his

Out on the end ol the piee ia atiM gloom. The fieb were either drowned during the storms and heavy seas a week or so ago, or elae have shifted other feeding places along the coast. A stray one is sometimes caught, which giyee ,oy to the fisherman who has the good fortune to hook it. The majority of the enthuaissu still go ont oi extension, it seems the natural thing for them to do. but the catches are small. But asone.old fisherman remarked sfter a whole day’s effort without reward, “if they ain’t here, you can’t get ’em, whieb is surely a logical assertion. Ne one is getting them, which proves that they are not there to get. At though, the paat week, a emaliecl»K.lof fiali would come along aa if to cheer the diaconaoiate fishermen and encourage them, and of coarse those who happened to be out at that time, were very lucky, for they were gone like a flash, and had to be booked wlien tbe booking was

good.

Daring the cool weather of the past week, the music pavillion has been a very popular place lor parties to and read or chat with one's friends as they pass along. Hera one is sheltered from the strong sea breexee and sun, and alao has a view of the board*alk which is seldom without some pr
