chamber of : COMMERCE < EXCELLENT MEETING HELD AT ( OCEAN CITY LAST THURSDAY 1 J t A most important- meeting of the j -May County Chamber of Com- ( merce was held at City Hall, Ocean ; City, last Thursday night, presided £ by its new President, Luther C. of Cape May City. Eighteen j delegates were present from here, and ( large attendance was present. j Tfie question of the connections with ( the railroad time tables at Winslow ^ Junction for New York was also referred to that committee. Former Assenilyman E. Morgan Barradale, 1 of Essex county, addressed the Cham- * ber on the Hudson River Tunnel and ' the Delaware River Bridge bill, which i is to be voted upon next Tuesday, un- , which the people of the State are 1 to sanction the issuance of $38,000,000 1 of bonds to carry along these two public works as & part of the highway s system of the state. Many other important matters were > discussed, and appropriate action tak- i and the work for the year begun | in earnest. ' At the close of the meeting Miss i W. Baker and Assemblyman i A. C. Boswell were called upon to say i a few words each, which they did. At I the conclusion, i luncheon was served | : the Ocean City Board of Trade to , the visiting delegates. The next meeting of the County

Chamber *fll be held at the Cape May g High School building, probably the | third Thursday in November. The Cape . May County Chamber of * Commerce, «t its October meeting in] Ocean City last Thursday, passed- a B motion endorsing Building and Loan Associations as a means of promoting county's prosperity and encouragbuilding, and Urging that the residents of the county invest their savin their local Building and Loan d societies. ■ • . • p It was pointed out that Building and tl are as safe as banks, and are B under strict supervision of the State " Banking Commission, with frequent Jo. erned by a sane, conservative Board of Directors and bowled officers. u It is no {infrequent occurence for,0 the Associations in the county to earn , *' for their Investors as high as ten per , a cent, per annum, and eight per cent. " .earnings are common, making the in- * vestment in this form bring greater P results than any other safe invest- - ment. . .If the^people of the county, it was stated, would put their money in the - Associations, more money would be available for mortgages on new buildand tbfc present scarcity of mortgage money would be over come, so that new building would be encouraged and fibaaced In every section of the county. _ "Our greatest need just now" said one of the Chamber mem- : "is bifkHng, but unless more J money is gV&ilable for this purpose < i .through the Building and Loan As- | sociations, fruikting this winter will be - ' practically ^~t a stand-stilL" "

CONNECT N. J. AND MAINLAND AND TUNNEL PLAN IS COUNTED ON TO ENRICH ALL SECTIONS— TOLLS TO COVER THE COST Probably nothing more 'vital to the of New Jersey has been put up to the voters of this state than ] referendum on the Delaware River ; and Hudson River Tunnel bond issue, which wiU appear at the bottom, 1 Jof the big presidential year ballots. " I There is no doubt that those who understand the issue will vote "Yea" on the referendum, bat there is some j that, due the sire of the ballots, and the great number of names, (pres- . idential electors and all local officers,) voters may overlook the all -important last item, even though it is 1

endorsed^ by both the Republican and 'I " Win PmM. bn 'if This bond issue is unique in that it will provide a source of revenue tar the ' starte, instead of a burden. At the bot- > torn of the referendum appear the words The net revenues from the bridges and tunnels, constructed under 1 this act are devoted ta the Baymaut ef 'the beads." ' The bonds will only be issued as reI quired to meet the bills of Hie oontzaej tore. All that the state will have to ' -do is to meet interest charges on the , bonds pending the completion of the , bridge end tunnel. This has been ea- ( timated dt about $5,000,000 ovyr a period of six years. Then Hie tolls from \ bridge and tunnel win start to meet J interest and sinking fund require- . menta. 1 (Continued an page 8)
