Anxious friends who were inquiring ss tc the cause of the pronounced limp of Mayor Fitch on Tharsdsy morning received evasive answers, and found their felicitation unappreciated. The mystery of the limp can be explained >,y the fact that the Mayor rode the I'goat” in entering U e Knights Templar at Atlantic City on Wednesday night. Way. . M. Strothers, and Harry Foster *bo 'went through ' at the same time eaplsin that the pesky animal handled Fitch more roughly thar the others. The limp is gradosliy wearing off, but the “memory lingers.'' Dr. Clarence Way and t. B.

CIIY NOW IN ROOT FOR GAS SERVICE

AT MEETING OF 8EA IBLE CITY

COMMISSIONERS ON MONDAY, MAYOR GIVES OUTLINE OF GAS SITUATION ANu WORK BEING DONE; COMMISSIONERS ROOM STILL FURTHER BEAUTIFIED; FIRE ORDINANCE PASSED.

That the City baa taken an active hand to relieve the gas situation was shown at the meeting of die City colons on Monday, when Mayor Fitch reported that he had been in touch with the gas superintendent, and be was advised that the operation of the plant was held up by the shortage of a certain fire brick, which the U. U. I. of Philadelphia has agree to supply, but which bis not yet materialised. Mayor Fitch stated that he then got the U. G. I. on the telephone, ond that they agreed to ■ornisb the brick, and that be arranged with the Gas Company to send a track to Philadelphia to get them. After these brick oome, the Mayor stated, the enperintendent agreed to tm.e the plant in operation in a very few dsys. The floors bs-e all hewn raised, end concreted, and all machinery had been overbanled and new machinery added; the Receiver of the plant also, has asked for a rale to show why the Chancellor should not call tor a settlement on the sale of the plant, so that the title can be given to the present owners, he concluded. Meeting Full of Progress Probably it was doe to the shining, splendent, sleek < ommiasioner's meeting room, or to the spirit of spring which tinged the air on Monday- hot the meeting was one of the roost spirited and progressive in many moons. The Commiseioners room, by the way, is cow befitting the dignity of its nee. It has two new brown nigs, that harmonize both in textore and color with the new wall paper, and a splendid new solid oak Director’s table serves for Commiseioners and Clerk. The floor has been stained ami varnished, and all the foreltore is shining under several costs of the enamel. The business accomplished was as

COUNTY ORGANIZATION PASSES MOTION ENDORSING THE LETTING OF ROAD PAVING CONTRACTS IN THE COUNTY; BIGGEST MEETING OF THE YEAR HELD AT WILDWOOD LAST FRIDAY.

The Cape May Connty Chamber of Commerce stands back of the Board of Chosen Freeholders in the award of contracts amounting to over $250,000 tor road work in various sections of the County. The action endorsing the award was taken at tlie April meeting ol Hie Chamber, held in the Wildwood High School Building on Friday night of last week. The Board of Freeholders had held a meeting iu the aftetnoou at Anglesea, aad awarded contracts for paving at Ocean City, on the Main Seashore Road at Palermo, at Court House and at Cape Mav. In addition to this some work was sgreedupou for Sea Isle City. Mayor Champion, of Ocean City, slated that several members of the Board were hesitant in vrting for this work fearing the criticism of the people of the county for spending so much money at this time, and said he beieived the Chamber should stand back of the board lor anything that, was oi benefit to LSc Connty. He made this iu the form of a motion which was promptly carried, with only one dissenting vote; the dissenting voice was that of Mr. Lanning, ol Wildwood, who stated that he was against anything that would increase the connty tsxet, and he asked how much the county taxes were increased iu the last three year*. Mayor Fitch, of flea Isle City, replied that the rate had advanced from sixty-live cents to a dollar and ten cents, and Mayor Champion then asked Mr. Lanuing wl ether the cost ol living in every way had not advanced in a like manner, and Mr. Fanning made no

reply.

i Mayor Baker Speaks Among the interesting talks was one

of Mayor Philip Baker, of WiUwood Crest, one of the Vice-Presidents ol the Chamber. He spoke or. the advertising

possibilities ol the Cooney, and the splendid outlook of the present season.

Three tilings were essential to tbe progress of a resort, he said, ami they were

advertising, transportation and a clean, well-kept town. Following his talk was one by Rev. J. T. Gilleson, ol flea Lie City, on thecubject cl resort advertising and Mr. Gilleaon urged Uie employment of s paid advertising expert to handle the combined advertising of all

the resorts iu the Connip.

As a result of the uieeting another attempt will he made liv Luther Ugden, of Cape May, Chaumau of the advertising comiuiUee, to secure reduced rates for railroad transportation from all the resorts lr Philadelphia, ou the same hskis as now prevails from Philadelphia to the lesorte.
