Temporarily a wave of protect might step the proponed new Court House, but sooner or later one must be built, and then the old trust give way. It might, possibly, be preserved Intact and moved to another location. Aut this would involve expense which the County Is not. Just yet, prepared to finance.

If those who think the town has not gone ahead would start out to buy a piece of real estate, they'd soon become convinced that, development or - no develoi mother earth In Sea Isle City
