A DISGRACEFUL CONDITION To the Editor of the Star and Wave: I would like to en^drse an article Ja a recent issue of' your paper regarding the condition of the bathing Leach at Cape May. It is nothing abort of disgraceful and the wonder Js that the Summer visitors tolerate JX. Dirt and rubbish of every description are scatteA-ed everywhere compelling women' and children to pick their way through the surf. And there are scraps of shells and sharp Wts of stone and wood which it is taflfficult to' avoid. Your municipal .authorities fail to relalixe the importance of a dean beach, the most valuable asset of a. summer resort. 3fou have dean, well-paved streets, frwl evidence of other enterprise in pour town but in comparison there is pot attention given to your most imf>ortant feature to, visitors. At least place a! few cans on the beach in .Which -people can throw paper and gnbbish, but more important than ghese establish a cleaning service to pestore to Cape May itsj former reputation of bavihg the most superb mad attractive bathing "beach on the North Atlantic Coast. Inddentally let me commend your Enterprise and vigilance in calling attention to this vital matter through _jour columns. A Disappointed Summer Visitor. Apprehensive.
