J.: Whereas, it is currently reported in • obedience to the very general demand of the people of this nation that there shall be greater preparations made fof ^ the defence of this country against a .possible attack from a foreign foe, and Whereas, it would seem to ha. of the ® utmost importance that fortifications ^ should be provided at the mouth of the Delaware, to form the first barrier against the attack of a hostile fleet en- c deavoring to pass up the Delaware to attack and destroy the Navy Yard at League Island, the city of Philadelphia r and the great munition and ship build- 1 ing plants located on or near that river, the destruction or even menacing of * which which would be untold calamity 1 and. Whereas, Cape May, located as it is at the very mouth of the Delaware and 4 thoroughly commanding this location, would seem to be the ideal strategic point for the location of such fortifications, therefore, be it Resolved, that this Board of Trade shall through these resolutions call to < th attention of- Honorable Lindly Garrison, Secretary of War, and the Hon- s orable Josephus Daniels, Secretary of i the Navy, to\hese facts and urge upon i them the careful consideration of Capj c May as a location for such fortifications j i as shall be deemed necessary for thi 1 protection of Delaware Bay and River, i and to call attention also to the advan- ' tages offered by the Cape May Harbor l as a location for a coaling and supply 1 station where all lighter draft vessels i might receive supplies in a protected < harbor without the necessity of th? long trip up the Delaware River, to ( Philadelphia, and also to the fact that | Cape May is served by two Trunk Dir.? < Railroads, rendering most efficient ser- | vice in bringing to this point any sup \ plies of whatever source that might o- , needed for either fortifications of coaling and supply stations. I , 'Adopted, Cape May, November J 1th, j, 1916. j. Whereas, the laws of New Jersey of I ( 1912, Chapter, No. 104, provides i di the | appointing of a Mosquito Extermina- ( ting Commission, whose duty "t shall , be to have prepared a survey of the J county with reference to its mjsquit J j breeding necessary to be expended --ach year an estimate of the amount of ( money necessary to be expended each year in work or the extermination of ' these mosquito breeding areas, and that J when such maps and plane have been ^ presented to, and approved by the Director of the State Experiment Station and by him approved, they shall he presented to the County Board of Free- j holders, and the law specifically states ( that upon the presentation of such maps reports and estimates approved as stated by the proper authority, said ® Board of Freeholders shall appropriate ^ such sums of money as shall thus be called for, provided that in no one year shall the amount appropriated in eountiea having an assessed valuation of be- 1 tween 25 or 60 million dollars, equal 1 more than one-half of one mill on each ' dollar of assessed valuation of a which 4 in the county of Cape May with an as- 1 •eased valuation of a little more than ' 37 millions amounts to a little over 18 ' thousand dollars. Therefore, be it ' Resolved, that the Cape May City 1 Board of Trade shall hereby call the a'.- ' tent ion of the County Mosquito Ex- ' termination Commission to these facts, ' and urges that it shall proceed with all possible dispatch to have prepared plans ' and estimates as before recited and ' have the same presented in the proper i manner to the Board of Freeholders of • this county, and to demand and insiBt * ron receiving from the appropriation ts ' provided for in the law of 1912, and to I pledge to said Commission that th'-s < Board of Trade will assist in every way ■possible in the prosecution of this work, . believing as it does that that the p.-es- 1 enoe of the mosquito in its present <

numbers is the greatest menace now ex- c isting- to the eueeeee 'of the seaside re- l sorts of the county and' on the buc a.cs of which the prosperity of the County t largely depends. « Whereas, by New Jersey Laws of 1906, t No. 134, section 2, it is pro- i vided that whenever requested by the i Board of Health of any municipality, < the director -of the State Experiment 1 Station shall make an examination of f such territory to ascertain whether 1 there is within its limits any fresh 1 water swamps or other mosquito breed- t ing plaoes, and report to said Board of Health what areas it Shall find, and i make all necessary recommendations as ■ the best way of eradicating such i mosquito breeding areas, and whereas t Section 3 of said law states that all ( such areas are nuisances and must by the Board of Health be abolished as s are^other" nuisances, and * -'Whereas, Section two states that such I Boards of Health' may demand such sur- t veys upon their own initiative, and I must demand such investigation upon 1 the request in writing of ten freeholders t of the municipality, there-fore, be it 1 Resolved that this Board of Trade i calls upon the Board of Health of the City of Cape May to proceed at once to . have an investigation made as to all j mosquito areas or places breeding mosquitoes andjhat it shall then imme- i diately proceed to call upon the muni- < cipal government for such sums as may i be necessary for the abatement of such i 'nuisances and shall use all means with- i in their command for the extermination , of mosquitoes breeding within our municipal limits. * i November 11th, 1915. To the Honorable City Commissioners 1 of the City of Cape May : Gentlemen In the full belief that your honor- 1 able body earnestly desires to enact ' such legislation, and foster such measures as shall be for the best interest I of the city as a whole, and believing | also that your will receive communications and suggestions from this body in the spirit in which they are offered, which is a desire to promote the comgood, this Board of Trade desires call your' attention to certain existing conditions and to make certain recommendations. First then we call your attention to the fact that there has been maintained for several years a dump on or near Columbia Avenue on which there has deposited all sorts of refuse to the great annoyance and disadvantage of the community. The only excuse for its existence being that it is a most convenient place in which to deposit i such trash and that it serves to fill in certain property. ' It is our belief that this dump is not only a great nuisance but that it is the breeding place of mosquitoeB and we therefore urge that this matter be given earnest consideration and that you shall find some means to completely abolish this dump. Your attention is caljed to the act that ordinances have been passed requiring the laying of modern and approved pavements all over our city and that many have in obedience to this requirement laid their pavements to the great benefit of the city. It is, however, a notorious fact that many • property owners have absolutely ignored this ordinance and have persistently refused to put down any pavements whatever, causing in many instances bad breaks in our sidewalks which should be continuous, some of which are in the most prominent and most used streets. We would therefore urge that there should be made in the least possible time a list of such property owners as refused to comply with these requirements, and that every effort should be made by pacific means to convince the people that they should do through a sense of civic pride the required work, but that in such cases as will not for this reason perform their duty the full power of the law shall be used forthwith to compel the work to be done. We call attention to the fact that on many of out streets conditions exist which though they may not be unlawful and perhaps could not be corrected by enforcement of any law, they nevertheless greatly detract from that uniformity of street lines and conditions that make a community attractive to , the eye of the visitor. We refer to the fact that on many of our streets there is a great lack of uniformity in our curbing, and that some of the flag stone curbs are out of line and set at all angles and any way except perpendicular. That in many places the earth between the pavement and the curb has made up until it now j stands far above the curb and not only 'makes a bad appearance but prevents jtbe water that falls on the streets from | running off properly. That in many | plaoes there are old brick pavements that while technically complying with the law, are so rough and uneven as to be very objectionable and which there should be some way of baring changed and which we believe might be changed if a proper appeal to civic pride of the

owners should be made by your honor- a able 'body. i We weald further call attention to ) the fact that heretofore doling the ■ months there has beea allowed i grow along some of our streets, tall i weeds that make the use of such streets i very . objectionable, particularly to t women wearing Tight summer clothing, i We refer to such properties as the i lot, Franklin Street, from < Avenue to Sewell Avenue, i Madison Avenue from Beach Avenue to n the pumping station. < These streets while not built on are j very largely .used in going from one l section of the town to another and i should not be permitted to be in a ^ i condition that is a nuisance, and a dis- . 1 grace to the city. j i We are aware that these conditions | should be remedied by the property I < owners, and suggest that all available l should be used to' secure their co- . operation, but if that he impossible, we that the nuisance is so great that it would be wise for the city to that these weeds are regularly mowed down and the streets made respectable at the city's expense. Owing to the fact that the member- ' ship of council changed every year, it ; seemed to be impossible to adopt any •omprehensive system as to street improvements, and we would therefore ' suggest that as the present body will in power continuously for four year that there shall be worked out as soon possible a comprehensive pJaa of street management and improvemi nt so that we shall soon be able to liav the streets of the city in an approved c l.-li-lion, in place of the patch wo-k system that lias by virtue of circumstances so largely prevailed hitherto. We wish also to call to yoir attention the fact that there is not in our city any building of sufficient size and equipment to serve as a proper Convention Hall or place or holding any large gathering, and that this organization before it could invite the C-onvention of Friends to bring at least 1500 people here for a week in July next, had to guarantee to provide a tent and seating capacity for such a number and has had extreme difficulty in securing such a tent with which to fulfill its obligations. We ask therefore that you give .very earnest and careful consideration to the propriety and advisability of providing a City Convention Hall. As the time is near at hand when you will be making, up your budget for the ensuing year, we desire to call your , attention to the fact that in order to . hold its place with other resorts thiB city must spend a considerable amount of money in advertising itself, and ttyt :» this particular it has always been far behind all other Cape May County resorts, and that it has aways proven good policy to provide an amount of ( money in the Amusement fund that shall be used for the promotion and assisting of such amusements as shall bring to us and entertain in a proper manner our summer visitors. We bespeak a liberal treatment of these" appropriations and would request that be- j fore they are made up the officers of ' this organization should be given an opportunity to go over the matter in detail. i Another fact worthy of your most

sermv* co»ideratioo, ia'the^ faffiirthst in- many. -section of the city .there are places in which water collects and stands affording breeding places for millions of mosquitoes, and that aa the mosquito is the greatest \nensoe to our every effort should be made to have these low places filled to grade that they will drain,' and that" provision should be made for covering with oil at- frequent intervals all such places as stil remain in order that the city may perform its full duty in getting rid of these pests. I We. wish it to be understood that these suggestions are all made in the ' most kindly spirit, and that in whatever matters this organization can of any time be of any assistance to yourselves carrying, forward any of its projects . for the city's advancement, we shall be 'only too pleased to render any assistance in our power.
