lOne of the artt tl*M of the eofnint of the summer eewo Z Ocean Citr CommitrtoBi . vijit from the boardwalk amt*. Usually about the flrst W( ek of June every year a delention appears wltj some inotty Jroblem for the Commtatfoners to ri Tf . One of the favorite pro'oKou of the part was the Sunday

tlofiDK edict.

The first two weeks of this B oiith flitted by and the annual nsii did not take place. Perhaps •M* body felt icnored. but their (care were aet at reet at the ntetlng last Monday afternoon, rbes a defecation of boardwalk Btrthanu, beaded by Prank

tayder. appeared and n _

tifllued a serious dnancta* ' Mr. Snyder stated when

He i(titeri from 11 A. M. until noon Ins the best sellisc hour for the b<rebants, and rKQaeetod Beam U instructed to hold his class from 1C o'clock until 11 o’clock

each moraine.

This. It was declared, would tot affect the class and It wculd set eerloasly threaten the retenue of the BMrchontn. Snyder >utfd last year the merchantr rodeavored to have the eh ducted an hour earlier, but their efforts did not meet with eueceea. at they refused to five Publicity Agent Raymond IS0. sMsyor Champion sharply called psyder to account He stated. Ton are Inferin* a reproach oa as official's character. Pleaae be inore explicit. Wee thU money irequeetetd tor hia own UM?” Snyder replied he did not think k He tbousht It was for a yerhetty drive. Raymcmd. he jdeciared. told them that the hour kuld be moved for $50. Snyder continued, “We are en!e*roring to meet all our high

Any business :—" that an aUractlon a rircua Is. and we are faced with a circus every morning.” Mayor Champion asked if Beam did not conduct hie ct.^ an earlier hour loot year as a trial, and It- did not prove a success The business men denied that any trial at an earlier hour was held. Mayor Cbunploa asked Pnrder tf he did not think the cUm was a good advertisement. Snyder replied he did not know. The committee pressed hard to have Mayor Champion agree to have the close time eef earlier, but be refused to premise, stating that Beam would be consulted and It would be seen If tne thing could not be amicably settled. Children'* Day in Ocean Gty M. E. Church The annual Children’s Day excises of the First Methodist Church were held on Sunday morning. An event of this kind is always well attended In Ocean City and Its pride in the youngsters la well-grounded. The program was both distinctive and Interesting end the kiddies with “pieces to say” easily carried off the honors of the day. A complete resume of the numbers fol-

Pennsy Ready To Improve Tetminal Site Wm Be First Step Toward Buildi*? Of *ew Terminal At

Ocean City

Will Move Bay Avenue Steps In making a greater Ocean City are progressing. Thu was revealed at the Commissioners’ meeting last Monday afternoon, when William E. Maasey, aeUng as persons! messenger for Superintendent Herbert, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, appeared before the Commlsslonere. Referring to the ground owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad fron the bay to the Reading Railroad and from Eighth Street to Ninth Street, which the Pennsylvania Railroad anticipates using es a terminal site. Mr. Massey stated. "Mr. Herbert requested me to Inform this body the agreement between the city and Pennsylvania Railroad urns been given considerable favorable thought and w« will start work on this tract within six months after tbe agreement Is signed and compleUon Is guaranteed within a y«*r after the work has started.’ The agrerinent referred to Is at arrangement by which the dty agrees to doe* Bsy Avenue, as It now is. between Eighth and Ninth Streets. The railroad agrees to widen both Eighth and Ninth Streets from Bay Avenue to the bay bulkhead, tbe bay front, and run a street parallel with this bulkhead over which the Bay Avenue traffic could be dlvertetd. The railroad also agrees to pump In the low ground and bring it up to grade. The Pennsylvania Railroad owns all thb tract. Under _ the precent condition, If a terminal was built on the site, a train of ten cars would extend over Bay Avenue. To eliminate this the street would be moved to the bay

front

The Commissioners stated they were satisfied, providing that the city grade be accepted as the standard grade. In the agreement the railroad specified the grade by the Shore Fast Line tracks. Mr. Massey stated he believed this could be readily adjusted. Thougti the railroad "does not state a terminal will be built on the site, it is understood the purpose of compleUng this work Is to provide for the cor templated direct route from Winslow Junction

This would mesa O can City would receive unexcelled rail ser-

vice.

Home life Guards Mayor Champion submitted the foNowlng names for appointment as life guards to be assigned to duty on June $7: Dr. Eugene Darby, Charles Shock, F. W. Deardo rf. George W. Hofner. C. Van Dyke Conover, Harold Saxon. Wetherill Ellison. Paul Ryan. William Stevens. Jr.. C. Addison Buell. Lloyd Sheppard. Thomas A. Williams and Henry T. Gray. The appointments were approved. Joseph Shelton and B. Frank Smith appeared before- the Commissioners with a petition requesting a comfort station be placed at Tenth and the boardwalk. Mr. Shelton mated the need of this elation and said when the station whs approved he hoped It would be nt least m good If not better than tbe stations in e In Atlantic City. Mayor Champion mated tbe matter of r comfort station was a need that had to be met. It <va* receiving every consideration from tbe Commissioners, though It would be an Impossibility to erect one this seaaon. One of the handicap* in erecting a comfort station is the strenuous objection of the abutting property owners. He asked If the abutting property owners to the site that was selected were a party to the petition. Mr. Smith stated one was in >avor, the other objected. Tbe station is sponsored by the Klwanfe Club. John G. Dennis was leased the •athletic field for $10 for the eea-

The Epworth League of the First Methodist Church Is planning s beach party which will take place in the very near future. These parties are fast becoming famous and a big party la expected. Fifty-two lodges have been Invited to attend the annual picnic to be given by the I. Qk O. F. and the Rebekah’a and their famliiee on the 20th of June, at Luna Park. Millville. There will be numerous prime-winning contests. Including baseball gairm, swimming. running, etc. Ai least 1,-. 000 persons will be present. New Traffic Light* In Ocean Gty tst week end the host of visitors to Ocean City were greeted by the new traffic lights, strung from Fourteenth Street eastward on Asbury Avenue. Tbe lights probably caused more confusion among the motor driven of Ocean City than the visitors The habit of peeping up aide streets and Intersections for oncoming traffic.

caused the Ocean City motorist: to look moat everywhere except at the light-. Chief Johnson instructed the policemen to use mercy on the violators until they became familiar with the system. Violaton who were stopped after croaslr.g the Intersection with the red light against them, escaped after being asked. “Yu ain’t color blind, ain’t chu.” However, tL.\ patience of the police la becoming exhausted after three or four days of whistle tooting, and from appearances a -idder fate awaits the offender.

Ocean Gty Kiddies On Annual Picnic Monday was a big day for the Sunday School kiddles of Ocean City. At 8:30 about seven hundred radiant faces proclaimed the fact that the start of their annual picnic was ’o be mode. Autos. Jammed to the running boards with their Juvenile band, made an auspicious start for the scene of tbe festival—Lenape Park. This park, situated near Mays Landing, was the unanimous choice of the committee for a spot uncontaminated by the awirl of a big city. The remainder of the day was too chockful of event* to be dryly budgeted. Baseball games, track and field meeta, hide and seek, and. of course, eating, composed the scheduled program The lake offered splendid opportunities for those who desired boating aud bathing rather than the land aporta. Much to the chagrin of the merry youngsters, who were haring the times of Uieir Uvea, a start had to be made for home. How truly It la said that adult endurance has not the buoyancy

of youth.

Ocean City Casino Club Opened The waxed dance floor again felt the impress of many feet Saturday night when Harold S. Robinson officially opened the Casino Club, boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace. It was bad from the mouth of this amiable gentleman himself that more patrons were there for the Inaugrml dv>ce than he bod ever expected would be. But this la not such au astonishing fact when one remembers that the music la furnished by those artists of jar*, the Miami Entertainers. Their rendition of current numbers Is nci to be passed over lightly.

SOUTH DENNIS Captain A. J. Meerwald spent Friday at Atlantic City. Mrs. Joseph McCray entertained the sewing circle on Wednesday.
