WHAT THEY i PL IN 1873 E INDUCEMENT^ *T0 BUILD 1 Anonit of Moiev Spent and Contributed by Cape May Beat Estate Company ^ An ordinance passed by (he City y Council of the City of Cape May and approved April 7th, 1873, provides n "That any person or persons who may e hereafter erect a building or buildings, to be occupied and used for the purq pose of carrying on a manufacturing , business, or who may hereafter estabr lish a manufacturing business within , the corporate limits cf tljp City of 1 Cape May. and wfio have filed with the t City Clerk of said city, after the approval of this ordinance, an affidavit , that they have erected a building or i 3 buildings to be used and occupied for i 1 a manufacturing business within the i • corporate limits of said city and desire 1 1 to enjoy the advantages of this ordi- i nance, then and that case, all'i such buildings and capital so iuvested [ i 3 in said manufacturing business shall j i be exempt from all city taxes for the j 1 9 term of five years from the date of J i I filing such affidavit, provided such j I ; | building or buildings together with the j j machinery, shall not cost less than ten I | ' thousand dollars, and shall furnish ' employment to not less than fifteen workmen during nine rnonihs in each and every year. ' ' This ordinance also provided, "That any person or persons who may erect buildings for dwelling, I hotel or other business purposes, such ; building or buildings shall be exempt „ I from all city taxes for a term of one ' ' year from the date of filing proof of their erection, provided such building - or buildings shall not cost less than $2500." This indicates the spirit of the people j here in those days and their desire to j e I aid and encourage improvements. Now j t suppose the (gentlemen composing the j f I I Oape May Real Estate Company had ! . | come here say4four years ago and had | £ agreed to bind themselves to expend L | say $2,000,000 here in improvements . \ developments, and had presented ]j I the proposition to the entire body of j j [ property owners and taxpayers of this j city, would these property owners and a ! taxpayers have agreed to exempt them [ from payment of taxes for five years e i or more, or would they not? We will | j venture to say that they not only would j j have .willingly offered this inducement p to secure such an expenditure, but ; | would have gone to much greater - t lengths to secure the interest of these gentlemen. in this city. Well, the gen- { tlemen composing the Cape May Real / Estate Company made no^sucn proposi- g tion and asked no such assistance but j j took hold of Darren acres and have ex- I j pendea about $4,000,000 in develop- I a ments. They have paid their taxes j q j annuallv, aod something like $200,000 j„ additional into the city treasury. They [ j secured an appropriation of j $1,200,000 from the treasury of the J United States for a harbor of refuge ' which will make Cape May ultimately : j great city, a commercial port and g yachting centre and they have erected j here one of the finest hotels in the ! j world. They have also given employ- g t to hundreds of . men and [aroused j the interest of thousands of people who ' had never given attention to Cape May g and they are only at the begin- j y ning of their career in developing their g gigantic plans. . E Is there anybody who believes th at I the people of Cape May have not been I observant enough to notice these i , things? Is there any body [who believes R that the people of Cape May can be ! N aroused to an [attitude of obstruction r and hostility to this company and its , plans? If there is, they foolishly misjudge the common sense and spirit of the people of Cape May. * 8< Divine services at St. Mary's church, Washington street, durine September ® and October.

GARDNER FOR I , v " RATE BILL ) FOR PRESIDENTS MEASURES I. Supported all Bills for Benefit of Masses Favored By . President Roosevelt ' To prove that the platform of the 1 Second District Democratic Oongress- » ional Convention which was held at ' Burlington, N. J., on Saturday, Sepi tember 26th, is not built on facts we - refer (he author and those interested, 1 to page 2303 of the Congressional Rec- - ord of the Fifty-ninth Congress, first > session, which shoWB that Congress - - man Gardner approved and voted for 1 > the Railroad Rate Bill favored by j President Roosevelt and signed by him : June -29, 1906. As this attack upon I 1 Congressman Gardner's record is the | ' mainstay of the platform St is likely to; collapse from the overload of false | statements. It might also be said that 1 all measures for the benefit of the | ' masses, including laborers andjmechan- ) favored by the President in his ' had the support of CongressI Gardner both in the Committees I I and on the. floor of the House of Rep- | resentatives.
