We are glad to note that the example of our borough in the matter of cement sidewalks is so soon to b» followed by P city. It is always gratifying to b know a go"d example take-. West « 1 Cape May may not be the model town j in all things, but in the 'matter of " ] regular well laid and f beautiful streets fi ! and trim and well kept homes, she is d about as near up-to-date as you can i fina in South Jersey. And with its P | ocean view and afr it ought to attract t here who desire pretty suburban i While there are many who ulti- 8 jmately intend to settle down here, there is danger of putting it off too d For it is a fact thatMn'the built * part of the "borough there are but comparatively few desirable lots, and 8 which or. that account are all the while appreciating in price values. As a matter of mention, there are at this ! P time so far as we can ascertain, but. r twelve building sites for sale on Broadway, between the |northern and f southern limits "of the borough — Stimson's Lane and Cape Is- f land Bridge. .'There are lots and larm 1 frontages but they are either sold or j not for sale. And there [are but a few | h left, not 'built up, on [the favorite • > pide streets. Therefore any who wish ] the choice locations would be wise to j c act promptly before a possible boom 1 1 strikes our town'when prices must go I * and best locations will soon be I taken. 1: The Board of Health will hold a I timely meeting soon which will remind j s us of our duties in our own behalf and | we hope some restrictions in regard to ' « : ( 1

The new I schedule (contemplates an increase in I the fees required ;frcm peddlers and I those soliciting"basineas for out of 1 town firms. ThiB is'only just, in view of the fact that this class of business tnen form a very strong competition for local merchants. The merchants are under a heavy expense ; they need ; to pay rent ; they must meet a hundred and one expenses incidental to conducting an establishment with which the ; itinerant is not burdened. The latter should be compelled to pay a tax to the city which will protect the established j merchant by not giving the former too j great an advantage. In the new bill, a tax is also provided for automobile garages, which it is understood have heretofore been exempt. For years the city's various 'livery ' stables have been compelled to pay a fee of $50 for doing^business, and it would seem to be palpably unfair to exact this tariff from livery stables and permit the garages to go scott free. The business of livery stables and gar- ! ages is almost ^identical, the only difference being that one deals in horses and (.carriages while the other has to | do with motor cars. If the' livery 1 stable is taxed certainly the garage ahouldfbe. The garage tax proposed in ■ the^new ordinances on a sliding scale, ; according to size and capacity, and , ranges anywhere from $25 to $100. It ' it stated that many cities throughout the south impose a tax upon contr&c- : tors and builders and many industries which are wholly exempt in this city.
