Thin condition of affair* ha* now reached a poinl that nul only makehoiucK uninhabitable, but L* in ah proliabilily dangerou* lo Ihe health ul

the occupants.

He said no doubt all, or al least a majority of these assemble,! are property holder* and taxpayers. Many collage* are maintained for ihe soltpur|Ma>e of occupancy during the sum

mer months.

Now if the present conditions are allowed to exist and the proper city authorities take no step lo remedy this evil, it will undoubtedly result in many abandoning their summer cottages and going elsew here. It is universally recognized lhai Cape May is a resort of cottagers, and no effort on the part of those in authority should be spared in maintaining such conditions as are conductive lo the comfort, health and pleasure of those that are already cotlageing ' but lo attract others. A feeling Ural the interest of the present owner* of properly, in wha. w e recognize as the original Cape May is being neglected, and that the revenues of the city and the proceed* ol the various bond issues are not nnuii use of in an e>|uatable manner. 1 undoubtedly voice the ceulement of all present, in saying that we nothing but Ure best w ishes fi • success of the Kast Cape May pri*e, and that it will prove a s far beyond the expectaUon* of those w ho had the boldness and energy u undertake so vast an enterprise, tha will undoubtedly make Cape May eventually the most prominent sea shore resort in America. But at the same time the well-fare of those who have sworn by good oh Cape May, must not be neglected o overlooked and that we now Insi* that immediate steps be taken ti remedy the prwent conditions.

Smith asked if any rep senlative of Uie city was present, and City Solicitor learning was referred to and he slated that city officials not to blame for the condition. He put the blame upon the Robb estate executor* for Oiling up their land and thereby cutUng off the natural drainage which had existed. He said thal several interviews had been had wiUi the Robb estate, but aofar nothing ha<l

been done.

He aiao said that the city hi funds to do the work with, and tha the Robb executors appear unwilling to pay much of the expense. Mr. Gilbert said lie did not seem to think that the city had made thepropMr. Campion ask the Robb people lo nue to All in their ! seemed U> know, except that the cross-

IMPORTANT CHANGE

The l*r

Irnllal Changra lla Doing business

The Prudential Insurance Company of America has ji portant change in its plans of doing businets, and it is issuing a new lift - policy, which the Company stales i* unexcelled in its attractive The Prudential will issue policies on a non-participating baais exclusively hcrcaflei Cniled Slates Senator John F. Dry-den, President of the Pruden- . in disscuiwing the subject, said: During the last two year* the insurance business a* transacted in this ■untry ha* lieen subjected to thorough and searching investigation and habeen made the object of considerabli legislation in the various Stales. •The Prudential emerged from the estignlion with unsullied record and unblemished reputation, continued on the successful cartel hich has made it a leader among fe insurance companies throughout

the world.

‘The Company has watched the trend ofevenls. and after most thoughtful consideration, the directors of the Company decided that all Ordinary business written on and after August 1, l«n, be issued on ihe non-participa-ting plan. This will give the beat life insurance protection al the lowi consistent with safety. The new Ordinary non-participa-ting policy of the Prudential eliminates all question as to dividends; nothg is estimated. The policy contract one of absolute certainty and it* payment is guaranteed by the great resourses of the Company. public is today looking for life ce at lowest cost and for a policy in which the dividends are anticipated, and The Prudential is issuing a policy which meets Uris demand. The new policy has been put in such plain English that it can be understood by anyone, and every rate, value and feature is absolutely guaran-t-ed. The policy, furthermore, is sold at a reduced rale, which will make it

popular.

"An enliral new feature, which we believe will commend itself, is that the loan value of the policy may be used automatically to keep the force should the policyholder be unable to meet the payment of premiums, the length of lime, of course, depending upon the numberofyearsduringwhich the premiums have been paid by the insured. When the policyholder U ready to lake up the policy again he will not have to pay up back

Riparian Leases in accord an or with an act of the Ix-gidat ure Of IflOfi a member of the State Board of Riparian Commissioners, in company with Mr. Payne, the secretary, a* a witness, has within the last week personally entered upon and taken po*«e*doti of a number of rlpar. inn propertieswhloii have been forfeited to the slate by non-payment of rental*. as discovered some years ago by the lale Attorney General (stockIon and Gray that there was no w ay under the as it then existed of enforcing Hit collection of back rentals and a law was passed by Uie licgtslalure at the suggestion of Attorney General Robert H? McCarter remedying Ihe defect. The leases on w hich there had been default in (be payment of rentals for long series of year* were more than forty in number, and embraced rii»aruui properties on the Hudson River, :he Kill von Kull, the Passaic River, Raritan Ray, the Navednk River, Staten Island Hound, Pleasure Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, the Delaware Rlvi Bamegal Bay and several other wale The total value of the w hole l* about £5UU,0U), but out of this are to be taken the properties located within the limits of the Palisade Park reservation, to the val ue of nearly $100,000. The law provides that after ad Using Uie properties a member of the Board of Riparian Commissioner* must personally enler upon and declare them forfeited to the state. This is now being done. Three of the lessees whose properties have been forfeited for non-payment of Rebecca Simpson, on the AtlanUc Ocean and Hereford Inlet. Jane G. Whildln, Cape May Point. Sea Grove Association, Cape May

Point.

It is a significant circumstance that although these properUw, located some of the choicest lands of the state, were leased at prices far below those now asked, Uie lesees did nol think ihem worth retaining at those price*. There have been some wild ideas espoused in regard to the value of the slate's riparian lands. John C. Payne of Jeraey City and William fluke of Trenton, members of ihe Board of Riparian Commissioners, arrived at the Lafayette last Friday b look over the Whilldln and Sea Grow rights today.
