The boys have several little features in store that they jwill spring as a surprise. Ralph L. Chester believes in signs. He has a large one plat -d at Absecon at the intersection of the New "Vorh road and the White Horse pike which advertises Ocean City as much as himself.

It apf'ears from records available and statistical returns from the country at large that there was more real estate business transacted in Ocean City in 1922 than in any other city of its size In the United States. The actual sales recorded from the beginning of the present year even make a tremendous total for a place the size of Ocean City. The city appropriation this year carries an item of *25.000 for sports, j to be expended for additional tennis, courts and an athletic field. Last! year the city built eight tennis | courts. With only a nominal charge these returned to the city a sum that was surprising. Harvey Y. Lake. South Jersey tennis champion, is a member of the commission, control-

ling the courts.
