that If you think It of en —.artanee. to hare you give letter to the publie'a attention.

There la little doubt In the minds of the people'who hare the opportunity to know that Florida towns are fast growing mushrooms, of the rariety that seem to hare no death. Looking around la a laxy. but Interested manner. I bare been trying to find out lust what than Is hen that draws the people thousands of miles. In an effort to gain some Ideas that ws could use In Sea ble City. The sunshine aad warmth unquestionably Is the paramount drawing card, yet Just that doesn't seem enough, for all of the resorts hen hare that and yet they an not all forging ahead. Hen In 3t. Pete one finds a progressive administration of affairs by the townspeople. Things an talked of one day. made practical through careful consideration and the next day finds work began on yesterday’s

lestions. Things an done! isement piers, parka, hotels, new

buildings, untold forms of amuse-

ated out of northern capital—the visitors' money. A nsw bank, hardly a year old. b building a hundred thousand dollar home. Mr. Gandy, a resident of Tuckahoe. has built a three million dollar bridge across a seven mile bay. Land, too valuable to be bought, is pumped by gigantic dredges, when visitors have sailed their yachts before. Untold thousands of doUan an made because then b something

me.

So bringing the* findings tn application to our again at home, I am shocked at ‘ *

of energy, and have found a panacea that would cun the 11b of our northern reeort could it only be Injected. Things must he done! We hare nueroos opportunities to make our town attractive to the tourist but because tl»ey take eftur* and nu they an allowed to pass b..

We must get together on theee. it the money b not available let's gat together to make It wo. A tenuis court b unquestionably necessary, yat In such a gnat progressive move there b opposition, the same can be said about the playground. Farhape a convention hall might be considered by some as necessary to See ble City ae s phonograph to a deaf man. yet a elder it as an autoist considers spare tin. “1 don't need It now, but the time will come when I may.*’ Probably we do not need a hall now. but we can find use for one In the future. Even at the wont—It Is doing something. Let's try to l[ve up to Mr. Fox’s expression. "The people of Sea ble City seem to he making an effort to advertise the town correctly." It's a lot better to hare a stranger say. "Well, then's a tennis court, a playground. a convention hall and some new buildings going up In Sea Isle Cttr" than to have him say ‘‘Nothing at all doing in Sea ble." Summing up. I wish to say that If a convention hall or any kind of imement b a possibility, let's get it. If only so that we may get the habit of "doing things.” I thank you for your time, and consideration and remain as always.

In regard to Mr. Dunkalberger'a «aalnt reference to the "people here who have lived here ul their lives and still want things as nature left them, and no Improvements," 1 readily can Imagine that he refers to Townsend’s Inlet. I can also readily say that Townsend's Inlet most emphatically does not care for such Improvements, as Mr. Dunkelberger

dent citlsens than I have extremental digits. It b folly to think of an la* dependent municipality, private water supply, etc. We do not need an Imposing commercialised boardwalk In a town that boasts of no more than two prominent city squares Every season b attended with near* buildings new Improvem to such a degree I are suddenly becoming very oumneseUke and apparently important. Mr. DunkelbecTsr*a speech In regard to turning off tie street lights Is Indeed rather unfortunate, for we who live here know, that In Boa ble City and In Townsend's Inlet, ever since Easter time. 1»S«, every street light b extinguished during the daylight hours. Of course. Mr. Dunkslberger. being a resident of Camden, cannot be expected to know this and so we will caution him to mak< sure of his argument* before he burls them at anyone. In succeeding order I will now consider Mr. Dunkelberger’s suggestions routing to "civic and Improvement aaeoebtloas." I bcl.sve that for a number of yearn a Chamber of Commerce and several Building and Loan Associations have existed In Sea ble City. These are steady and reliable organisations moaning of course, that they do a great deal of thinking before they ad. consequently committing few errors. Being advised of Mr. Dunkelberger's experiences In regard to civic and Improvement associations, I would say that If prat sally existing organisations do not follow out every suggestion Mr. Dunkelberger offers them, he should abide by the majority, aad not try to have himself elected chairman of half a dosen two-penny committees whose principal aim seems to be to abolish existing forma of government, and to establish a Dunkelberger regime. Revolution b no substitute for reformation. "Boost" should not bo Interpreted as meaning to propel forcibly from behind, but rather to cooperate in the spirit of friendship. And eo I believe that b* disregardlag Mr. Dunkelbeige . s radical suggestions and remaining loyal to staid and conservative government. Boa ble City and Townsend's Inlet will safely and surely program together toward greater and better achleveT. N S5QO.

Replies to Hr. Dnnkleberger Townsend * Inlet. N. J.. Jan. 4. If 16. Editor Cape May County I have Just finished reading Mr. C. Dunkleberger s moat enlightening dirge in thb week's TIMES, and I must say that I could scarcely reach for my pen quickly enough to answer theee so-called difficulties Mr. Dunkleberger avero that "the amount of city help could be greatly decreased, also the wages" Just what does be mean by "greatly decreased?" Does he Infer that we should elect but one man who would be a composite Mayor, City Clerk. Utility Superintendent. Chief of Police. D. P. W.. etc.? Sea ble at the present time has no more than the minimum of help necessary to transact a city’s business I have lived la Sea ble much longer than Mr. Dunkelberger. and I hare never seen the men walking up and down the streets lust to keep moving. Mr. Dunkelberger says: "There are lots of enors made In bills going out. which causes a disturbance aad should be remedied.” I will admit that errors sometimes do creep In the bills, probably due to the fact that only two or three persons are employed In handling the various tax bill*, the monthly gas bills, water bills, electric bllb. and all the other written matters that are connected with the administration of a city. After all. these persons are only human. and we all make mistaken I might add that when courteous coo plaints have been made. I always n calved s polite explanation and
