Thus It will be sssa there are no rocks in the Rocky Road to Dublin which can be hurled at me. The bridge was built under the direct ■Rperrislon of the County Board of Freeholders and their Engineer. Substitutions and changes from the original plans were made only through argent neeeaslty and neither I, nor the Board of Freeholders can be held aocountable for the chr c ,lng of the channels. I desire to thank me voters of Cape May County for their work of confidence la me shown In the Primaries. and shall do all I can merit It. Yours very respectfully, JOSEPH G. CHAMPION.
