OCEAN CITY WANTS HELP (Continued from first page.) t ' thereby making a shorter trip to all of our resorts. The question bothering the ' Senator was "just the proper place to 1 cut the ditch." ' Charles Hall, of Avalon, stated among other things that farm lands of this ' connly had increased during his short ' career, from $25' to $100 per acre, due to the increase in the resort business, and ' it was his opinion that farmers would ; not object to an increase in taxes which ] " this proposed route would cause. ■ Mr. Arnett of Sea Isle City, proposed ' 1 that the Ocean City millionaires would . free the toll bridges connecting Ocean City with Sommer's Point ; Ed. Sutton, of (Xean City, made a ' • • motion to circulate petitions to be pre1 M-nted to the Freeholders at their next , j meeting which was pansed by a vote of 1 the repn-sentatives present. I Mark (lake, of Ocean City, stated ' ! that while many autos crossed the toll : ( bridge daily jliete were also many which ' turned back on account of tile high toll • ! charges. .a | IMr. Edwards, of Ocean City, in an ad- j dress ou 'the value of the proposed new j i route claimed that the business of the j s , loll bridge during August for automo- 1 i biles alone exceeded 16,000 machines at ( - a minimum charge of 25 cents, (the toll | i ' rates for crossing these bridges are 26 . j cents per car with driver and 5 cents for , t each additional passenger. 1 Otis M. Townsend and Luther (', Ogdeii both considered the mosquito prob- ' lein as vital at the present time'than j roads. - President Ogden. of the Cape May j - Board of Trade, invited the organization to hold its next meeting at Cape May. which was accepted. At the above meeting much was said ! for the proposed route through the var- ' Sous resorts. However the matter of cost roads was not considered of importance. The project is no doubt a good one (for Ocean City) then it might persuade the Freeholders to purchase private bridge lietween Somer's Point and Ocean City, at a handsome price. At the best the new route would have numerous draw, bridges and horse shoe loops and adi- ; , tional roads through the sail mea-low s.-j which are continually settling in the ' I mud and costing fabulous sums of ; money to keep tli-m in repair It would be far better if an organised effort was , made to build a bridge from Soiuer's Point to Beesley's Point. This is but a ; short distance ami would only require ' the services of one man to operate the J draw while the other route would em- ■ ploy several men for the draws nnd re- . quire much unnecessary driving on ac- j count of the liorse shoe bends. The briilge from Somer's Point to j Beesley's Point would make a continu- , ous ami excellent drive way from] ■ Cape May to New York City and j passes the resorts within a mile ' to the main road by excellent . branrbrs which arc well knewn to motor- ' ists. It does seem like a useless expenditure of money to build roads in the j salt marshes wliieh would neither lie a | thing of beauty or a saving of time. I REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE : ORGANIZES. The adjourned meeting of the Kepub- 1 liyan County Executive Committee was ; held in tiie main court room here on | Saturday afternoon last for the purpose) of organization. '■Hon. Joseph Champion, of Ocean City, j was unanimously elected chairman, ami Smith Kiulicott, of Middle Tow nship ' Dr. Foulds, of Ocean \City, former ' •fudge Harry S. Douglass of Court House. ■ and Charles S. Coouibs of Goshen, were appointed a committee on credentials.and reported 39 members present. On motion of Mr, Charles Clouting, of; Sea Isle, the law of the State of New j Jersey, governing the organization of County. Committees was read. It is as follows: "Th-' members of the county and city j committee of each of the political parties | hereafter elected, shall take office on the first Saturday following their election, on which day the terms of all mnbers of - such committees heretofore ! elected shall terminate. The annual j meeting of each county committee shall be held on the first Saturday after the fourth Tuesday "in September • • » in each year, at an hour and place to be designated in a notice to be given by tht respective chairman thereof, at which annual meeting the members of each committee shall elect one of their members as chairman to hold office fot one year, or until his successor '« - elected." The chairman then asked all pr-s*nt who had been notified of the tiiqe, place and hour of a meeting "ct the first Sat: urday following the 4th Tuesday in September" to rise. Of the 39 members

of the committee in attendance but one had received such notice-Theodore Reeves, of West Oapc May. ' Lawyer | BonncM, of Middle, then explained that in the absence of such legal notice there could have been no legal organization of the committee on the Zd of October; . that while the date was fixed by law, the hour and -place depended upon the ( call of the chairman; without such notice no member would know whether the meeting was to be held at Chpe May ] Point or at Ocean CRy— seven in the morning or nine at night. | During the session addresses were ! made by Senatorial candidate Stevens, Assembly candidate Lake, Mayor Gi» bert Smith, of Avalon; Squire Rush of Ocean City; Reese P. Risley, of Stone Harbor; Frank W. Fowkee of Sea Isle I City; Hon. H. S, Douglass, of Court House; Luther C. Ogden. of*Cape May; Amos Brosius of South Dennis and others. — Cape May County Gazette, October 18. • " ' OF SONS OF VETERANS TO ORGANIZE CAMP. I [ A meeting of the Sons of \ eterans ! on last Monday evening, October 18, in , pursuant to a call fot a meeting held - at John Mecrav Post room, to form a Camp of the sons and grand sons of the . ] Veterans, in connection with the Post . . | There was quite a number present, aud . j there would have been a much larger attendance, but owing to the coming I I election and a large public meeting that i , w as gohig on, which attracted many of . ] the people. The meeting was called to (order, the chairman of the detail, A. C. . Gile, stated the object of the call and . the purpose and need of a camp of the i j lineal descendants of Union Veterans. | In order to perpetuate the good work i ■ ' of the Grand Army of the Republic, af- , i ter Veterans are no more and keep alive | , for all time the custom of the 30th day i of May, Memorial Day. I Then the Commander, John A. Cor- i . coran of the New Jersey division, Sons j ; of Veterans, U. S. A., was introduced . and in a plain, lucid manner, gave a de- : tailed statement of the objects, motives ■ and the great good that the Sons of • Veterans was to the old soldiers now in , their declining days and in beautiful : words set forth the nobility or the sen- •. timent, and told them it was a duty that • ; they owed to not only their sires, but ,-ito their country as well. He then re- ■ quested them to ask Jjim any ijuest on f -hat they may not have understood, and I several did so, after which the applicai tion for a charter of Sons of Veterans, " was signed by about sixteen of those i those present, the following named gen- ; ' tit-men signing the application: ! Walker Hand, Leonard Randgran, - Charles H. Dorncr, George A. Dorncr, -.Charles A; Swain, Lewis T. Stevens, Kl- - j 1 is J. Hand, Frank Cain, Walter 1). | Simpkins. Henry X. Spencer, Charles H. > Rutherford, U. Grant Vanaman, Edward -jljemmon, Charles (juidort, Joseph B. > j Hughes, S. I. Stevens. I Many, others proposed to place their s names down at the next call for a I ! meeting which will he within a very few t . days. There is quite a number in tlio - county which 'will join, and no d^ubt - this will be quite a large camp as all ihe '' grandsons the age of ,8 years are eligi'1 ble to become members of the camp. All j citizens and those who are in any way j interested in thi- nnffftm-nt should m- | Very rapidly in this state and all other I | states of the Union. It should la- re- 1 - 1 membered that the "Hoys in Blue" arej a passing to the great beyqiid very fast. » In tile year 1914 there was pearly twelve] "I thousand -that died, ami' this prusepf' Jyear there will la- over a third morel ■[than last year, and in five years from! ' now there will remain living only a very • few, as all tlms,- now living have lived man's alloted time -three score years | ' ] and " nad the others are now living •-ion ''borrowed time," and again it may :' be said with truth, that all thinking •'men have arrived at about the samel j conclusion, namely, that the youth in f j this great country of ours mast be ' | taught to have a full realization of their | 1 | duty to their country, and high ideals ' as citizens, and their loyalty to the ; principles of its. constitution and alle- ] ' j giance in all respects to the Union and • our flag. * 1 A VOLUXTEER.

Cape May, 1 INSPECTING CAPE MAY. Seventh -day, the 25th of Ninth month, was, as you may remember, perfect as ' to weather, and a little group of Friends who met in the station at the- foot of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, that . morning felt light at heart as they started for Cape Mgy on a tour of in- ' spection and to make some arrangements for the holding of the General Conference litre next summer. New York was represented by Harry 1 A. Hawkins; Philadelphia, by Joel Bor- * ton, James H. Atkinson, Rebeoca B. * Nicholson and Arthur C. Jackson; and c Baltimore, by O. Edward Janney, all members of special conference com1 mittees. r After a pleasant ride of an hour and A fifty minutes, including a ten minute 1 voyage down the Delaware River, and ' enlivened by interesting conversation among the group of travelers, Cape May ' was reached, where we were met by J. * Harold Watson and representatives of e the Board of Trade. An auto ride over '■ the place gave glimpses of the sparking £ | ocean, shaded streets, the fine inland " ; harbor which cover 500 acres, and has a e j depth of forty feet, the many cottages * i and attractive hotels. (Some of the iat- ' ter were visited, and quite mode -at*? " j rates of board secured. 5 ; Next the Boardwalk was explored, and ^ here a novelty was remarked by those accustomed to some other resorts; there , s are -no shops along this fine fo.it way. * and a clear view of the ocean may bo " had at any point. '' The ocean here has a charm not experienced elsewhere. Whether it is the ' broad, nearly-level stretch of r.and,. eo 1 hard that the heel makes little ipprest ion on it even v lien sharply struck, or " vhether.it that one may wxw'i the J curling breakers for agreat distance■ilong ti e coast, certain it is that the eye *' never semis to tire in looking at die * oc<-an, the water of whicb^is as clear as that of a mountain stream. jSome happy indi*plu4alfi were en- '• joying the surf bathing, venturing' far ' out and'yet in no danger. At many seashore resorts the ocean impresses one * with its power and cruelty; here it '• seems to be in the mood to be one's play '' fellow. Xo safety ropes are used, and ' guards are scarcely needed, no one having been drowned here in the ocean for r years. Near the shore, within the breaka ers is a long and wide furrow, where the v water is about three feet deep at low u tide where one may do that rare thing — 1 swim in salt water, or learn to do so, 0 In perfect safety. It is easy to predict r* that during the conference, those who " may have the privilege of attending will ■ ' make surf-bathing their chief reereutioii. enjoying it as they have never done at " ; any other place. rl Tennis courts adjoin the golf links, '' j and will lie at our disposal it is promised *■ | while boats of all kinds in the H nearby harbor, gaily bowing an tmitnj l ion to enter. i , 1 j A space within a b'oek or i \4o of the ] hotels was selected upon which '.to erect " i the great tent. This will «'"t J.flOO pcoy I pi", and every care will taken that '' j it be firmly secured, easy to "'far in and * ; agree.ih'e to th- eye. The • !'< also to 8 be two "Tents on the Ilea.
