Iasi summer the question of WKkiung Landis Avenue brought up by Hr City Cotnmisaioneri, and discussed in the Chamber of Commerce, but it dropped out of sight. Among the improvements recommended to be made in 1927 is this widening of th thoroughfsre of the city, three feet on either side, or six feet all, and in addition. Fortyfourth Street, from Landis AveCentral Avenue. The

nth this work unless a Urge lumber of taxpayers enter a

positive dissent.

The City Solicitor has been instructed to prepare an ordinance authorizing the work, and the City Engineer to prepare plans specifications. When these are ready the ordinance will be j » pasted on first reading and when j it comes up on final passage the tax payer* will be given an opportunity to have their say. As a rule citizens pay but little attention to these opportunities to express .heir views and take it out with grumbling afterwards. This is cm the right *>irit. If they do not approve of a they should say so before

law, not after-

all fairness

dations will be made effective

the near future.

With the city officials doing

what they can to add to the attractiveness of Sea Isle City, their efforts should be seconded by every home and lot owner in the city. Paint will not only add

the looks of property, but it

will pay for itself as a preservative of wood. Don't regard it

an expense, but as an investClraning up is something every

householder should take a pleas-

it makes the home more healthy, it adds to the beauty of any prop-

[will be magical.

There b not a cross street in the city that b wide enough. After the new curb* and gutters were put in this became painfully apparent, but it was too late then to remedy the defect. The lesson should not be lost, however, on Landis Avenue, and while there is opportunity to widen the street without heavy extra expense to either city or property owner, it

Htculd be done.

Six feet added to the width of the avenue, with the electric and telephone wires put underground and ornamental light standards erected a’ong the thoroughfare would make of it a

beautiful street.

The final decision rest* with the taxpayers. If they favor this progressive step let them tell the Commissioner* so and encourage them in the work. If, on the other hind, *h.>- oppose the work, let them go before the Commissioner* and make their opposition known, not hold their breath and

kick afterwards.
