fact that they have been compelled to guard the New Jersey coast and to try and Intercept rum runners from landing cargoes on the beaches and in the Inlets along the ahore.

'We entered the service to save lives and property when shipwrecks occur, but, in doing thta we run no risk of being fired on. aa those in trouble welcome our help and aid. But if we try to stop nun runner* from landing cargoes on the beach, we are liable to be shot, as th*’- rum smugglers often become desperate in their frantic d> tire to land liquor, and If canght are more than sure

The Coast Guards say that there ara now 86 station* open from Sandy Hook to Cape May. and that the skippers of the atations have a hard time to get efficient men to stay in the aervice. Within the last few weak* eight men from the Gold Spring and Cape May Point stations, have left the service, it ta atao pointed out by the Guard* that the order* to watch inlets both day and night hat compelled them to stay out in storms an- wind

with 1. itle or no shelter.

Some of the guards have taken heart in the report that President Coolidge has put it up to the United States Treasury Department to atop the Illicit landing of rum on the At-

lantic Coast from Florida to Maine. . ^

thus proving to many people that the move for a laifeer Board waa only for political purposes. Those engineering the ptan are trying to make the citizens believe thst five ‘men would better serve the County and Us whole interests. The thing can be maneuvred so that five men might be elected from one* section of the County, to the detriment of Jhe interests of other'sections. In a measure this will be returning to the old system of a large Board, which .the

County has abolished.’'

State Senator W. H. Bright, of Wildwood, said he ta in sympathy with the move for a five-man Board of County Freeholders. He felt it will help the County. Some years ago he favored commission form of government, but he saw in Wildwood and other places under that style of government one man dominates, and virtually the same condition now exists in the County Board of Freeholders—one master mlud dominates. The speaker admitted that he probably would do the same thing. The three-man Board of County Freehold-

‘t work out. he said, and

Cape May feels that she should have a member. Ocean City and Wildwood are now represented on the Board. If dape May shouiu get a member, the farming communities will be left out. which Isn’t fair, he continued, but if tbt Board contained three representatives from the “beaches," and

Guards have appealed to the new superintendent of the Fifth District for a raise, but that he said that it would have to come Lam Washing-
