» I HARMONY NECESSARY 1 IN CAPE MAY COUNTY j By Reese P. Bisley Spring is here once more and i prith it comes a sense of the cares and obligations that will devolve ; Upon all of os daring the short : summer season, which is Cape May j '""County's harvest ^time. Before the press of other business makes it impossible for us to i do more than look after the urgent < affairs of the moment we should, gake a final survey of conditions in the County ps a wbok and endeayto, if possible, to formulate some k>lan or policy which can be vigorously prosecuted, while weather conditions are fair and whik the greatest number of strangers are .with ns to observe and talk of the ' igiublic improvements that are being aaade and which are to follow. ' It is time that the people of Cape May County got together. We all

the advantages the County, T posses and the opportunities it of fers for resort building and for ag e riculture and industrial develop- c I ment With two lines of railroads 1 i with 150 miles of boulevards, with t ) a superb water frontage on a vast; a locked bay at the mouth of aj 1 r ^reat river, known justly as thaj < Clyde of America, Cape Majj 1 - County iB yet sadly lacking in thg 1 > spirit of co-operation, of enlighten- 1 t ed self interest," which is absolutely 1 i| necessary to her progress and pros 1 i perity. Public Improvements Needed '■ Cape May County is situated at x w the southern extremity of the state j * r The very surroundings, which 1 e make- of it a vast pleasure park i 1 e contribute to ha remoteness. There j I e fore, it should be vitally interested * g not only in the improvement of it* >»wn transportation facilities, j ( s but in the improvement of thJt 1 roads and bridges of those com«ji

Imunities to the north of us and in 1 all other means of traveL ( Fo rinstance,- the condition of the highways of Cumberland, At- c lantic, Buriington, Ocean, Mercer * Monmouth and other counties in ' the State are of tremendous im- ' portance to Cape May County. 1 A good road from Pennsgrove 1 means more travel from those hives of industry, Wilmington and Chester. The proposed bridge over the c Delaware from Philadelphia to 1 Camden means more motor ca visitors for Cape May County. ' A bridge over the Hudson from Manhattan . Island to the Jersey! shore would be another important factor for our County, -j Free bridges in pkce of the tol bridges over the Delaware abov ' Trenton would induce travel from ' the coal regions and New York 1 State into our territory. Permanently paved highways in 1 place of gravelled roads would 1 make our resorts available to mo- : tor car visitors in winter and ' spring. The extension of our State Inland Waterway from the Manas- ' quan River to New York Bay * would bring down to our coast by ■ r a safe inside route a vast fleet of 1 power boats from the Greater New 1 York litteral. It would open the markets of the metropolis to our South Jersey farmers. A ship canal from the Delaware ' River to Raritan Bay and a canal : from Delaware Bay to the State 1 Inland 'Waterway would revolutionize economic conditions on both sides of the State, benefitting mer- ; chants, manufacturers, farmers 1 and the resorts alike. And, lastly, the immediate con- | struction of the All Resort Auto- ! mobile Route would bring thousI ands of visitors to Cape May CounB ty from Atlantic City, who will | not come by rail, j The AU Resort Automobile Route j The resorts of Five Mile Beach ' and Cape May would probably de- | rive more benefit than any- others in the County from the BriageBoulevard System. There are more hotels to entertain visitors, more garages, more amusement resorts and more miles of improved streets in these resorts than in any others. S Furthermore, they are the most distant from Atlantic City and are T likely to prove sources of attraction on that account. Cape May Point, from which a viqw of Delaware ~ Bay can be had, wa«UL prove a magnet to thousands of ihotorists, B who would visit it, if the way were made easy for them. They will not come unless it iB 1 It is true they could come down the Seashore Road, but they don't. That road is like any. other good country road — no striking scenic Q features and plenty of dust. ^ Compare it with a road and bridges from one resort to the other, across our beautiful inlets within sight and sound of the sea and the conclusion is obvious that of the two routes the average party — • *. i i . *

of summer visitors, when tour' ■ would choose the All Resort Route. The argument that "th<- travel comes anyhow, is a mistake. It doesn't oome. It is true the reguvisitor, property owner or eot1 .tager, who comes down from Philjj adelphia in his car would probably J the mainland road to his |i destination. He would be in a jj hurry and would have plenty of I to visit neighboring resorts . by the new road after establishing for the summer in* his cotor bungalow. Some Pads and Figures But what of the new-comere, the i transient guests from fhe big beach front botek of Atlantic City — eH , spenders— all possible j.erm&nent patrons for our hotels— J1" possible real estate buyers, cottage | builders and summer residents! fj There are from 250,000 to 300,000 people in Atlantic City pt a. i time on certain days in summer- - •iwhat effort are we w»»Vi«g tx in-

duce them to come to Cape ilny CoTintyljAi Atlantic: cfty will have two meadow boulevards this summer and third ready for use nest season. Ij -is preparing to entertain tho.«sands of motor car visitors doily every season where it entertains hundreds now. According to the Atlantic City Review, the number of motor driven four wheeled vehicles registered in New Jersey "and her neighboring States is as follows: New York 145,727 Pennsylvania 119,835 New Jersey 59,377 j] Delaware 4,117 Total 329,056 Of these 83 per cent, or 273,116, are pleasure care which may k come into this section. This doe* not include motorcycles. The Review estimates that if only one of each 200 cars, one-half of one percent, visited Atlantic City in a month, the average would be 1,365 cars daily, bring from 4,000 to 5,000 people, whose expenditures would amount to thousands of dollars. As a matter of fact, in July and August thousands of machines go in and out of Atlantic City every day. It is useless to deny that the automobile has materially affected the resort hotel and resort real cf- , tale businesses. It has. But the novelty is wearing off of the use , of ears. They are rapidly finding their place in the existing order of things. And as factors -in our modern civilization they cannot lie , ignored. We must adapt ourselves to the changed conditions they induce — we must prepare to entertain the motorist or he will pass us by.

- "deadend?" 3 A Safe Route and Cheap Manitenance i- The plans for the inter-resort y boulevard • call for bridges well s back in the various inlets instead of in exposed locations at the inlet y mouths. S&ftey in time of storm - has been the determining factor in - selecting the proposed locations. - Low cost of up -keep, is, therefore, assured. The optlay for the building of 1 the bridge-boulevard system will not fall entirely on the county. ] Last winter the Legislature jpass- ] ed an amendment to the existing ' road act, providing that State 1 - should pay 40 per cent, of the cost ' y of new roads and 20 per cent of J s the cost of new bridges to be built - hereafter. This reduces very maf terially the amount Cape May ■- County would have .to invest In the . b proposed mew highway through . 5 the various seaside resorts. ,- Resorts Should Stand Together ' s Stone Harbor is not selfish in !- urging this enterprise. It is perfectly willing to wait until Cape , i May has been connected by way of 0 Two Mile Beach with Wild wood 7 Crest and until Anglesea has been connected by way of Nnmmy's isi- land with the southern end of Sev- . 1 en Mile Beach before urging that •- the Townsend's Inlet crossing be c btoilt. Palatial hotels adorn the e Florida Coast, where wealthy tourg ists are entertained. There is need if for both in Cape M|ay County ! r Big hotels mean prosperity- to the e fapner as well as the resort mer■s chant None of ns can afford to i- discourage any enterprise that p. tends to build up our communi- ( is ties. We have too mnch in common to oppose each other — we have :
