BTAR & WAVE PUBLMSHING CO COMMUNICA Editor of Star and Wave, Dear : The communication. which apperred fast week culling attention to some al leged defects in this resort was writ ten as 1 have discovered by a friend of Cape May: who hs the interest o this resort at heart,. The intense in «ignation aroused in. the mimls: o some of our lo B i ce that it indicated tes which does them . credit. and | which geems to embody the idea, "Cape May, may she always be right, but right o wrong, Cape May." This is fine and creditable, but does: n‘t get us anywhere. . The defects whould be looked into. | The eternal consideration of every thing, rathe with reference to the persons, identifed with it than upon its merits, should c, and these things . will have to be, before Cape May can pro gross. We should not expect to be Smmune from criticism, | but . should rather. welcome it. Hori and without founda tion as some which has appeared at times in the Philaderphic papers, retraction sould be compelled, or a libel suit instituted. Now ht ye io t o "Sightseer, men . but he is we eral sunntcalore, The government were weleamed hore and every assistance given by suthorities and the people. ple of no ity in the world could have done more for the soldiers and sailors who have been stationed here t has been done by the people of this city. The city‘s one amusement cen: not absolutel has done. every to assi t the government and the men sta here. It did not ‘attempt to the situation but snerified it meet the war condition and did hout murmuring. There: are sight so far. no adequate returns fo the undoubted loss of patronage sus tained becuse of the activities of the nutional government here. Now as to the railroad situation fo which the people of this city are nof &n the least responsible. We admi without cayil that our railroad service is "poor," and we do. not understand why the correspondent contented him welf with so mild an adjective. The railroads may feel very friendly to Cape May, but they have acted for the last generation or so, as if they we as hostile ms possible and desired to prevent Cape May‘s progress rathe 1 of holes because the army and navy traffic has made them s

road. and will be made a hnd faced road before the summer is over, The base ball park ix on private land, which ix apt to be cleared at any moment to be put into the market for city lots, | The Casino is private property und is to be properly repaired. May we ask, what whould the city do that it as not done for the men employed by the government or for the people who have cottuges? The accusation that rents are highest and prices for foods . also . the highest cannot be sustained by the fact We concede all the rest and think the eviticism sh. 1" be taken. kindly ‘und should lead w results, VERITAS. COMMUNICATIO® ‘Editor Star and Wave, Dea After reading. the — communication Sightseer" — in — last I could notyforbear but write something in the nature of a defense for Cape May. In the first place. "Sightseer" says, ["keep the old place from dying a sad {ana dilupidated death." Cape May ‘bas beeen a sueceseful community for over a century, and it doesn‘t seem likely that the resort is in immediate danger from the few | exaggerated {foults the communication implied. |I In referring to m set of conditions iwhich forced people to take cottages here, he says "in consideration of all It All what? | Merely lived here, {and in all probablities, spent as much money as possible out of town. "Sightseer" next refers to | Railroads. If he was informed, he would know that city authorities, county institutions and even private citizens have constantly been endeavoring to (have this service improved. | Petitions have been — sent . regarding . better schedules, better stations and various phases of the railzond problem. What more ean be done? Unfortunately we cannot control the policy of the Railroad Administration, as "Sightscer"" seems to expect. Several — improvements, | which "Sightseer" suggested, such as Wissahickon Barracks road and the Casino, are entirely without the juris diction of the municipality. . Other faults which he implies will be taken the new city administration in c near future. it from Kightthe W. C ive been ‘wb o to enter they did. 17 it hnd not ifling cotion ? — This is only a single instance of the City aid. What have the private citizens done? Generously entertained the boys from the ‘time the first few were stationed here until present. Through the medium of the churches, and other institutions, the men-in service have been thoroughly incorporated in the social life of Cape May. No city could have done more for them than we have done. Let us have less exaggeration, and more information. ._ MAT RIX, June 26. j Cape May. fnmmmmretcbcmmmmmn COMMUNICATION Editor Star and Wave, Dear Sir: It has been noticed by a large num» ber of our residents that the police call bells ring for a long time with
