Editor SUr and Wave: Your editorial on "Beach Front Obstructions" in last Saturday's issue comes to me like a goblet of water to A thirsty mortal. I have longed and Waited many years for just such an Utterance from some authoritative and Influential source in Cape May, I have myself as an individual summer resist, repeatedly voiced the views contained in your editorial regarding fencing off the ocean by buildings on the boardwalk or on the ocean aide of it. You say that "Chpe May is different in important particulars from the other resorts, and it should take pains to remain ao," this is true and it is this one "particular" of the unobstructed sea View from the beach drive and boardwalk, that is so important that one with the most limited vision should be able to aee the value of this unique and invaluable asset we possess. I sincerely trust, Mr? Editor, that aa you have expressed it "Qape May will not attempt now or at any time" to take the least little step toward shutting off the sea View by placing obstructions, either pavilions, piers or buildings on the ocean aide of the beach drive, but on the contrary at once take steps to remove guch aa are already there. Indeed, Mr.' Editor, it seems to me that the time is~ripe for our beautiful and, incomparable resort to so secure Control of the beach, so that every proptrty owner shall be assured that there ' never will be any obstruction of the i Ocean view, for, in my opinion, such an assurance in an immutable form will add Immensely to the value of every square loot of ground in Cape May. — _ ' Yours truly, RICHARD CAMPION ! THE CAPE iAY CANAL How much yachtsmen all along the Jersey coast arc interested in the deep- J er waterways proposition will be de- I velopcd at the meeting of the New Jersey Grange, the farmers' organ iz- | ation, which will* convene in Atlantic j City on the second of next moiftb. Not only are farmers enthusiastic on ; the subject, but all independent forces j that utilize water routes jirc.._quite as anxious to obtain better water high- ! Ways. This is the more significant, . Since the proposed waterway improve- j ment in this' state docs not come j Bearer Atlantic City than Borden town, j Where a canal across New Jersey is j hoped for, or Cape May, where a canal; is planned to cut across the county into j the Delaware Bay. Highways to a farmer, whether they be of land or water, are of the utmost ; importance, for upon them depend much | af his profit or loss through transportation. The state grange was one of the J first organizations to propose the canal across Cape May -county, and it is likely to be one of the main topics discussed at the approaching convention. What it should mean in saving is -tremendous. The grangers say the fanners Of the New Jersey coast, with such a Canal, could run their produce direct to Philadelphia without the dangers being encountered of fighting the storms off Ckp, Ml, Point, and returning oould 1 bring coal and farm supplies without / being compelled to pay the heavy freight ' tolls exacted by the railroads. As for the yachting interests, the , proposition is broader and quite aa important financially. They seek a deeper inside channel down to Florida. Few persons outside of those dwelling along the Atlantic coast realize the exodus to that southern state. Every fall there sets' in an emigration of power boats that go through the existing inside pas- 1 ^ ^ 1 Many of the yachts depart each season for Florida, to remain there until ; •tats of Ohio, city of Toledo, l_ 1 Lucas County. !

— . . r the advent "of the next summer. So 1 " regular has this custom become that a large number of Philadelphians and j New Yorkers who come here during i July and August to enjov boating make ( f arrangements with the captains to meet < them in Florida in the Winter to con- 1 tinue their pleasures with men whom . they trust. With a deeper waterway to Florida, 1 r wealthy cottage owners who return each i summer, and many of whom own houae- , boats or private launches and yachts, would undertake the trip which, under 1 1 present conditions, can be made in about ! three weeks, instead of going down by 1 1 train. Cape May canal would solve the problem for them to a great extent. At 1 . present the greatest bugbear for yachtsmen is the trip along the Jersey coast to 1 Cape May, for it has to be made in the open sea. The inside route along the I - coast only extends to Cold Spring Harbor now, and Cope May would provide 1 the needed link to safe passage in I stormy weather. With a completed wa- '' terway there would develop a traffic in 1 smaller boats that would be surprising, according to experienced seamen. That 1 e is why the yachtsmen and the grangers 0 are interested, and why they will lend 4 their efforts to getting the improve-' n ment that will benefit the whole sea4 board.— Philadelphia North American. e It would be interesting to know how a 1 canal across Cape May County oould 1 possibly stimulate travel by water to ' Florida It is apparent on the sur- 1 e face, by any means, to attempt to use • such a canal would take every boat miles * out of its way. * BAPTIST CHDRCH NOTES ' The regular monthly communion ser1 vice will be held at the close of the 1 , morning service at the First Baptist c Church on Sunday.
