BULKHEAD PROBLEM AT SHORE RESORTS

discussion of the bulkhead problem. occasioned by the damage wrought by the recent storm. If

Seventy-five per cent of our public leaders today came from the small town. That is why Dr. Cadtnan's endowment plan

said that we will never

be an excellent thing for the city as well as property owners, and will save money in the end. One of the suggestion* broached was that of a citizen that concrete bulkheads could be built to stand the pounding of the waves, and that while the initial cost would be perhaps double that of a wooden bulkhead, its longevity would make it the cheapest. This suggestion brought forth a general expression of opinion and may be given serious

consideration.

Other angles of tne problem discussed were that of having a uniform bulkhead line, a uniform and approved plan of bulkhead construction and requiring permits to be taken out before bulkheads can be built or repaired. Each of these suggestions is in line with sound policy and should be incorporated in the city ordinances. There is no reason why the bulkhead lines should not be as uniform as street lines and sound reasons why should be. Straight lines present an even front to the waves and give strength to the bulkhead. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and a line bulkheads is no stronger than its weakest section. If a weak tion gives way it may and will damage stronger sections,

this reason all construction should , u be uniform and of equal strength. t . x’- i- . . ! 11

tax rate*. Att .-rd a session of any county, tow nship or municipal (body and hear the demands made for public improvements and you will get the key to swelling tax rates. Improvements cost money and money can only be secured through taxes. No governing body money making machine. The money comes trom the people and when they demand highly improved roads, fine public buildings and scores of other things of a public nature, they might well prepare to go down in
