As is swell known the Star and Wave did not 'advocate Commission Form of j Government, but Wnce the people de- ) elded in favor of It. In spite of our ad- , monitions, the next thing for any news- j telrest in and loyalty to the city, was to j possible and enough of our citizens) adopted this attitude to secure, probably i as able and acceptable a commission as j could have been obtained, encouraging results are already apparent, and mpre | In prospect. Those who are interested i - here or seek to become so. find the commissioners able and willing to discuss | affably and Intelligently any phase of j the city's functions, duties and powers and to do it in such a way as to inspire confidence at once. There is no mysterious outside party to be listened to and obeyed. There is no mysterious menace to anybody dealing with the •ity. The business Is open and above board and nobody would condemn anything else more quickly tluy) the commissioners themselves. There will be sooner or later, some information forthcoming which will show w-hat has been done In city management in the past and our people should read and ponder carefully all matters pertaining to the city government. There are some big problems to be solved and the solution cannot be obtained by any other means than the careful application of business methods. The man who spends his time In trying to create prejudice by misrepresentation should be frowned upon heavily. This kind of thing is not helpjft ful but seriously detrimental. Last Summer a person writing for the Public Ledger under the' noro de plume of "Peggy Shlppen." wrote and published a villainously untrue article about mosquitoes at " Cape May, probably Instigated by Atlantic City. | The Public Ledger has received many letters denouncing it and promised to "make it right." It has not done ao and it practically refused to publish a refutation. This week an article appeared in the Bulletin and also in the North American. reciting that Cape May Point had been cut ofT from the world by the atorm tides and that Cape May was also menaced. Both statements were utterlyuntrue and the cutting off business impossible. The milk in the cocoanut is In the following paragraph : "It broke Over the tracks at a point where the Board of Trade and other commercial bodies have petitioned the government to place a fort to guard the Delaware." This is absolutely untrue but It Is a safe bet that Atlantic City influences are at work upon an effort to prevent consideration of the fort idea and that j the contributor of the article is in touch with them.

In former years It has been the custom of the tax collector of the city to mail to each and every property owner a final notice of his or her arrearage in taxes before publishing their names as dellnquants in the local appers. This practice, I am sure, was much appreciated by those who happened to be in that class from time to time. There are various reasons why some persons do not. or perhaps cannot, pay thalr taxes;

AOMIUULTUMAL BCNOOL j i In a cloaely contested game. Wildwood's first : team defeated fhe five representing the de Hirach Agricultural School on Saturday evening. December 4th. at Colonial Hotel. Wlldwood. by the score of 47 To 88. Although outweighed nearly thirtyfive pounds' to Ihd man. and playing on , a foreign court, the H. A. S. boys put - up a good flgjir and kept Wlldwood on the Jump. The score at the end of the first half wag 24 to 9 in favor of Wlld- . wood. In the Second half the Agricultural School boys came back with a rush and tied the score at 29-29 in the 5 first five minutes of play, and again at _ 1 33-33. The pace was telling on the I Wlldwood team and they called a time . out. This was a wise move on their I part, and when play was resumed they I came back strong and forged ahead e again. p The H". A'. S. boys scored as many . field goals as Wlldwood did. but owing to their not being' familiar. with Eastern League rules (this being the first game the H. A. S. boys have played under those rules) they naturally committed, quite a number of fouls. 16, of which r Delaney converted 13 Into points.
