According to Mayor Champion, the New Jersey Utility Commission has refused to aUow the Ocean City Sewerage Company to float any farther bond issues, which would give wort the necessary Improverequlred, and the ultimate step would be to give the city eolons power to take over the work where the private ownership had left off. Another feature of the banquet ts the announcement made by James 8. Murphy, division passenger manager of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, that the rapid growth of Ocean City would necessitate the establishing of a steam train service between this resort and its famed slater seaside city, Atlantic City. Other speakers at the testimonial banquet were former Mayor Harry Headley, Dr. Allen Corson, Clayton Haines Brick and Postmaster Edward

LEAGUE CELEBRATE WITH “LADIES’ MIGHT” Plav and Talented Artists Were Features of EBtertainmen OCEAN CITY— "Ladies' Night" was celebrated by members of the Young Men's Progressive League in the Haan Building. Wednesday night. The Belmont Players with Heracbet Berry ware the feature performers of the eve-

ning.

Mrs T. J. Duran as "Mrs. Richards" the amateur housekeeper la the two-act fare# presented by the Belmont Players waa easily the outstanding feature of the company. Others In the two-act comedy ware: Earl W. Nlckenoa as “Mr. Richards" who amased member* of the Young Men's Progressive League by Us brilliant wit and pUyitlg. "Marion," a sister of “Mrs Richards'' waa ably taken by J. P. Langley. Mrs R. H. Mason took the comedy part exceedingly well. The oomedy was under the able direction of Mabel Hem Groff. Musical numbers wars rendered during the evening by Hersehai Berry, s versatile musician. Mr. Barry in turn played the piano, accord Isn and comet. Mrs Groff stated the Belmont Players would appear in Sea Isle City and DennlsvlUe later. Proceeds of the play. It is understood, will go to The Home and School Association.

nal bill calls for a referendum vote next November election, when the voters of Cape May County will clde upon a* Five or Three 1 Board. If the voters decide In favor of the Five Man Board the additional members necessary to make the required number will be elected the following election. November, 1924 This bill will not affect rny unex plred terms of the Freeholders In office at the time of this election. The bill calling for a reduction *- salaries becomes effective In 1926. The original Five Man Freeholder Bill int odneed by Assemblyman Parker, was similar In every respect to Stevens' bill, except that It also affected Ocean County, and was defeated several weeks ago In the Senate. Senator Mathis, of Ocean Coun-

ty, objected.

The SUte Senate rejected Georg* R. Orels, the Court House attorney, as a candidate for the position of Prosecutor of Cape May County. This action was surmised In political circles, as Orels failed to win the support of Senator Bright. Benatmlal courtesy, as practised In the Legislature. always considers the Stator's wishes In appointments of tBs nature for his county. In the closing hours. Governor Sllxer sent the name of James N. Butler, the Atlantic City lawyer, for me Senate's approval. The Senate adjourned before any action waa taken, which automatically

kills Butler's chances.

The Governor has the privilege of maxing the Prosecutor for the ad Interim term. Sometimes this is referred to the attorney general's department for selection, as I - *

when Solon received the

meat. It is almost s surety that Prosecutor Solon will continue In office until the murder trials are eon eluded in the April term of Court.
