WHERE ZOHDIG IS HEEDED That an amendment to the State Constitution is needed, if necessary to enact a zoning law

that will stand the test of the courts, is most evident in the shore resorts of Cape May County, not to mention the cities and suburban centres where zoning has been tried only to run afoul of the hijdier courts with disastrous results. ». There might have been a day hen any kind of a shack wa-

business men who will make these resorts their all-year-round homes, commuting back and forth each day, will be so Meat and the insistence for last trains and qu ck

cumbered with cheap and make- < shift structures which detract from the value of the land and from the value of other and more pretentious buildings. Resort authorities should wake up to this menace and in the absence of zon ing laws should use every en deavor to protect their beachfronts by going the limit in withholding permits where the buildings to be erected are not up to a specified standard. Fewer buildings might be erected, but those that were put up would be credit and would not only add the value of the beachfront, but would add to the value of ad-

joining structures.

This is particularly applicable to Sea Isle City and the authorities here cannot give too close attention to this phase of the city’s growth. They arc taking most

steps to improve the

Boardwalk and they should not permit their efforts to be brought to naught by private owners. Off the beachfront, too. there

BACK FREEHOLDERS OH ROAD PROTEST At the meeting of the CountyBoard of Freeholders, on last Thursday, Director Luther Ogden attacked the program of the State Highway Commission for road building in Cape MayCounty this year, showing as has been published heretofore, that the only appropriation alloted I the county is §30,000 aid towards hard surfacing the "missing link” : on the Shore Boulevard betwTen I Palermo and Marmora, the balance of the cost of which the county is hearing. In short this) county has been practically ignored in this year's road building I

program.

Director Ogden further stated that he had been previously i
