SEA ISLE CITY AS A BOOM TOWH

We read with great interest of the tremendous real estate boom and hniiaimg boom at Wildwood; we stand in amazement at the wonderful rise in realty value in Ocean City and the number of buildings being erected there; the jumping i«»d values in Somers Point, in Pleasantville and in Atlantic City seem almost too wach to credit. But tow many «f as. whs are interested in Sea Isle City, really realize that that very thing is Uppeniag here every day! Sea Isle City is booming. Get that fixed in your mind. And it is growing fast And land values are rapidly increasing. And before the winter is over the resort will see the greatest building development in its

history.

It is cxly necessary to take a lode about town to realize the truth of this, ben Isle City was ploced in a peculiar position with relation to property values. There were, a year ago. a large number of old houses that were on the market for a mere song; hence no new building was undertaken. Try to buy one of these properties today! Every last one of them (that could be bongfat) has been remodeled and repainted and fixed np so that yon ceald not recognize them as the same buildings. Vacant land that could have been bought for its assessed value a few yean igo. is now selling at two and three times its former prices. And there has been new building, but only the first course of the building banquet has been served. In town building, as in the building of any business, values must first be created. Until property becomes valuable a town cannot grow, but once real estate becomes a profit-producing investment and land gets scarce, and old buildings have responded to the magic of the paint brash, then

new buildings MUST come.

Outside investors are beginning to realise that Sea Isle City has passed through its “trial" period, and are coming into the resort. From now on, everybody. WATCH US GBOW! , | \\ And take a tip. If you know of some property that can be bought j 17 Tue# at a price—grab QUICK. | is Wad.

Women Must Learn to Take Part in I Politics—Principles, Not Men By MRS. PHILIP N. MOORE, Prast Mutt Council of Women. Women must learn to take part in partv There ha* been a movement urging women to the individual candidate, without conaderisj party to which he belong!. I think the plan u We should chooae definitely the party with whose« aides we are moa* in sympat’ y and vote for didates of that part). We uuat vote for not men. But, of *une. it is up to tu to well-fitted men are cfaoaen to ran. The agitation now prevalent for women port women office seeken is mostly due to v tality and will not last long. But women should hoM offices. T new in politics, and will have to learn slowly, bat when they do accustomed to political methods I believe that women aa candidiu, be judged impartially with men. The National Council of Women has nothing to do with questions, ~r local ones, such aa whether or not a girl abenld hair and wear short skirts; that is for the local dubs to consider, national conndl meets with the national women's aonncils of 3i nations to consider matters of national importance, like child and we are able, throngh our interest, to get laws passed to mothers and children.

there is a strong ♦empution to give the “old boat all she’ll take.” There is no reason why leu care should be taken in September than is J1 Tues tnlren in July in the UM of the roads of Cape May County. An automobile drives recklessly is a dangerous toy. as well in one month as in another, and the irresponsible driver should be given the full limit of the law. It might not be amiu to add a word of commendation for the work dose by the State Police. While they have not been successful in stamping out reckless automobile driving, and probably never will be. they have been watchful and have succeeded, at least in striking terror to the heart of the dare-devil driver who happens to overtook the familiar blue uniform on the

motorcycle until too late.

More Stole Police and a closer patrol of the main highways would help

wonderfully.

COST OF WARREHTTE The Warresite road «c*»mU1 in Hew Jersey has not only doubled the coot of roads to the Mew Jersey taxpayers but the unfair manner in which Governor Edwards’ highway commission has built Warrenite roads under closed specific*tions. without competition, at exorbitant prices, averaging $28,000 per mile over any other type of permanent road, has made it impossible uader the laws of the United States to grant any Federal aid on Warrenite roads ia Mew Jersey On «Vi miles of Warrenite roads constructed by the Edwards highway commission, this means a lost of $682,500 in Federal aid aioney. In Cumberland County, where the specifications were changed from concrete to Warrenite for nine miles of road at an increase in cost of $16,000 a mile, this meant a lots of $136.0CO of Federal aid money. In Morris County, where specifications for nine miles of concrete roads also were changed to Warrenite. this meant an additional ion of $135,000 Federal aid money.—Philadelphia Horth American.
