Sea Isle City. H. S.

I never let sentiment sway business investments." He continued: “For many years I have witched the progress of Sea Isle City. 1 have noted its growth and noted its setbacks. A number of years ago realty values in Sea Isle City were below their true worth, due to a number of conditions which you are probably familiar with. After these condiUons were remedied realty began to assume their true values. Not in leaps and bounds, but a steady persistent growth: no great fluctuations, but ever incrcssing. Whenever any town. Sea Isle City or anv other town, does that it is a sure sign of prosperity and the place for sound investments. Booms I always consider dangerous, for If the true values become Inflated somebody loees if the market sags. That cannot happen when the Increased values are caused by healthy

'One is alert municipal government: another Is well-directed advertising such as the motorcycle pageant of season, and to some extent la due to outside cause:,. The results of last year Is bound to bring many new faces to Sea Isle this coming season.” SoUliqulstng. be continued: “Last year, due to Industrial and national conditions, was more or lews of an off year.

The one outstanding accomplish ment of the meeting was a definite sentiment registered against the turning of the present electric light building into a convention hall, as suggested by Mayor Fitch to the Commlssioaers two weeks ago. Charles R. Hahn stated that he agreed with Commissioner Love in the letter he had published Ust week opposing the plan of a convention hall, and favoring the sale of the property, now that the city was buying current from the Atlantic City Company. Louis Braes said when the rtty had a convention he would donate the use of his theatre. Others who echoed the same sentiment Included Herman Diamond. Eugene Halleran and Charles Clouting. and the discussion ended in an almost unanimous rising vote In protest against the plan. Dr. Way then summed up that It has been proven that the gas plant was paying its bonds, interest and still showing a profit; the water plant was doing the same thing: and the electric plant was now on the way to making real money, with the reduction of expense* by purchase of current from Atlantic City. And »o all was well after all. When Eari M.
