NEW COUNTY ORGANIZATION — MEMBERS MEET IN AUDITORIUM ' j MONDAY EVENING TO DISCUSS T WAYS AND MEANS FOR COUNTY J" BETTERMENT— AUTOS FROM ALL ' ; THE COUNTY RESORTS. ^ , The Chamber of Commerce of Sea- ' | shore Resorts of Oape May County, met 8 j in the Auditorium on Monday night ' I with President Clayton Buck, of Ocean e 1 City, in the chair. ^ Mayor W. L. Stevens welcomed the l" J visitors from the county reoorts, and : ' j said in part that Cape May County was the best county in the state, j Congressman Baker in addressing the 1 audience was strong in his praise for Oape May and our land-locked harbor, 8 and predicted that the Commerce League would accomplish many useful things. Mr. Baker was not in high favor of connecting the island resorts at this timeOther interesting speakers were Reese, '* P. Risley, Howard Risley. J. M. E 1 1 Hildreth, Luther C. Ogden. Lewis T. ! * Stevens. Charles Hall, Harry Weir. j' ^ Messrs. Ogden and Hildreth are dem- ' onst rating their determination to eliminate the mosquito while the members : * from Ocean CSty and Sea Isle City are j boosting an Ocean Boulevard to extend . k from Ocean Oity to two mile, beach. j A movement has been started to ad- j vertise the charms of Cape May to the . " entire United States. * We cannot "get" the argument in I favor of the erection by the county of j 1 a boulevard along the beaches from Egg : " Harbor Inlet to Cape May Point. The j cost would be much greater than has j been stated and the good to accrue r would undoubtedly aid a number of real | estate enterprises, but this" is not the , function of the county nor the purpose from which county taxes are paid. The building of roads through some miles of barren lands belongs to the owners of id said lands, and should not be saddM 10 upon all the "tax payers of the county, 1' v. forc:ng them to become partners in the le said zeal estate enterprises. The' only

plan by which all of our resorts as well the interior of the county can re- t ceive a square deal is by the building of r bridge between Somers Point and P Point. This would open upon the State boulevard and access would be k afforded to each of our 1 . sorts over the * roads connected with the main a artery running from Beesley"s Point to t May or Cape May Point. P Cape May has been robbed of every- * thing but honor while in the grasp of t : unscrupulous real estate promoters and the county should not be permitted to i' fall a victim to the wiles of these wily I gentlemen. Every legitimate enterprise 5 j in the county should receive proper aid » and comfort but this does not call for f subsidies from the public treasuries nor , for appropriations to pay for work for 1 which the county as a county has no * 1 responsibility, legal or moral. It is ex- s • ceedingly doubtful whether the courts ' . would permit expenditure of public « . money for such a purpose as for obtain- f . legislation sanctioning such a thing, 1 , this dream may as well be dismissed. I • It cannot be done. Such testation could f not be passed excepting in the shape 1 1 of general laws and there are enough ] legislators wise to what the results ; would bt all over the state to halt ef- \ ■ factually the effort. 1 1 LARGE TIN ROOF. ■ Charles A.

The score at half time was 15-7, the local boys never being beaded during the .game. After the game was' practically won Coach Spitznas made some changes in the lineup .sending Hand in Shaughnessy's place and Tenenbaum in Poinsett's . place.

team work and passing of Hirsch Agricultural school, and tbeir style of passing was a surprise to Sea Isle. The clever work of the H. A.

NEWS AND COMMENT I ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST, PASSI ING EVENTS AND OCCURENCES GLEANED FROM HERE AND THERE— READ THESE ARTICLES ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS. I ' There are merchants in Cape May who think" that every one knows of ( them and the goods they offer. .The Philadelphia merchants have not reach - , ed this state of bigotry and as a oonsequence they make a daily effort for , more Cape May business. I The National deficit October 8 was $32,361,627, and growing larger day by day. On account of limited amount of space j this week many items of interest were } crowded out of this issue. | The earnings of the United States J Corporation for the last quarter are j | considerably under the minimum wMch ( was expected, and the fact goes to show I that war orders are not so profitable as the country has been led to think. And I yet, these war orders are all we have ^ to give our industry any kind of standing. Without them we should find our- , i selves in the worst of industrial de-' j pressions. And in those communities j where was orders do not center that is j the condition, any way.

As they had been engaged for j ji year and the only bar to their marriage was their youth, forgiveness was ( pronounced.
