Tbt proposed County Memorial to tbeteervice Boys came In lor fall die~uaton *t Uie tegular meeting o? the «wd of Choaen Freeholders, held at re Vourt House on Tuesday. The sentiment of Uie majority of the members of the Board favored the erection of a public County Hospital, such as other counties have, and which would be maintained by tb- County. The granite monumeot, wniefa waa the original idea waa rbsidoned, and 4be aid of the rx.lc?; organisations will be rrqu.vu-d both as to roggestions fer Uie erection of the Hoapiul and to Mi, secure Uu, funds therefore by pub Ik aubcciipiion. The Board meets again to take up this matter on Tuesday, August 18th, at which time, through Uie press of U>e Countv, Invitsti-ms will be isrued to all those inWireated, to aitend the nieotinr. and pctseui their views. Board to Buy Road Materials. . A raao'ution a a, adopted which hereafter places Uie purchase of all load materials and machiiK-ry in Uie hands oftha Hos'd aa a whole, instead of the ittdmdoal Freeholder requiring Uie.’ti. as berePiforr. The old system allowed any Freeholder who needed a.new road scraper, or a car III gravel to order it without consulting anyone else, and it is believed Uiat this has reeolted in abuses which the new system seeks to remedy. The mauer of the unfinished Corson .iptract, on Uie upper Main Re.-urbore Road, was again brought op, ami a bill •fWOCU of Mr. Coruna's was held up. pending some settlement with tin- Btate Departinsnt of Uieir objections to exteodlng the time limit for Uie completion of the work. The time limit expired ou July 15ili, sod since then a

penally of $20 per d#y has txnn imposed. Mr. Corson was given a hearing, in privato eon (ere one, in the afternoon, and it was finally agreed to pay him fMOO on account, retaining the balauoe as a prolecuon to the County. Tender on Stone Harbor Bridga. According to Uie terms of an agreement between the County and UieSouUi Jersey Realty Company, the latter corporation waa to have lurpl a bridge tender at Uie draw of Uie Stone Harbor turnpike bridge. This was dune only lor a short tim,-, a;.d the County has pi need a tender in charge, and lin'd n ilified James B, Lichleiibergrr. trmt-e lor Uie South Jrravy Company, that the iMnpanv would be rxpecied to real b arse the County for the cost of Uiis lander. At Tuesday’s meeting Mr. itenbergir noUfied the Counlv that ould be impoaaible to collect this from Uie company, as it was now defunct. No ac.ion was taken. The Committee ou the securing of the right of way for tlie new North Wildwood to Grassy Sound road, reported that Uie right of way had been s cured without cost to tire Counlv. Cnunly Superintendent of Weights and Measures, Patti E. Carroll, teported that in the past year be had inspected KUJ scales, and condemned 250; that he had sealed about 280 gasoline niensnr. ing pu nji* and collected $100 in fines from violatore of tlie weights and measlaw*.

Dr. Allen Coraon. chairman of the conmUttoe on location of the proposed Ocean City Bench front hotel, at a recent meeting of the Boon! of Trade, reported that it bad been definitely decided that the location would be between Fourth and Twelfth streets. The committee had secured prices for five different pieces of ground, nothing under 200 feet front, or over 800 feet. Mr. J. M.

4.30 P. M.. witnessed an awe-insplrlng sight There was a severe electrical storm accompanied by a baby cyclone. Large trees were uprooted and one immense in a was thrown across tbs tra-ks. The presence of mind and quickness of Engineer Frank Helm undoubtedly saved the lives of the pawengera. as be quickly applied tbs brakes and stopped the train, thus averting what might well hare been a disastrous accident. The people os the train appreciated this fact and a purse of money was taken up by the passengers and presented to the neer. The purse contained $12L07. Unable to find enough wood with which to supply their large bonfires, members of. several beach parties at Cape May tx-gan stripping the boardwalk for suitable material. When the supply of driftwood in the Immediate vicinity was exhausted, one member of Uie crowd suggested the wooden boardwalk -railings, which were large and dry- Sjod after this a portion of the boardwalk had disappeared in the direction of one of the Area Seeing the destruction, one of the summer reeldents in the neighborhood phoned the City Hall, and Chief of Police Ulbeun investigated the matter. He found the stolen railings gaUiered In beupt for firewood What had not already been burned, the vandals were forced to take-hark. Heavy fines will probably be imposed on guilty parties. The upper part of Cape May’s business section was the scene of Inlenre excitement last Friday morning at 11.40 o’clock, when a white mule emerged from the Knickerbocker stable-, and leisurely proceeding across Washington direct, commenced to grake on the Power plot maintained by tb« Philadelphia and Reading Railway. Dpi* ing hla perambulations about tbe yard, hia right foot came In contact with (be wire fenc" j n such a manner that' ha was unable to extricate !L A pose* of cirixens hastened to hia rescue with wire clippers and released him. it 1* fortunate that two city officials were present to witness the affair, for «hL sume mule baa been taking liberties of this kind for some time. Possibly sotfietlilng will be done now to curtail bis future acUvlties.
