i ' COLD SPRING INLET TO BE IMPROVED Major Genual Lansing H. Beach, chief of army engineers, in submitting estimates for harbor and waterways improvements, has recommended that (80,000.00 be appropriated for Cold ' I Spring inlet. A movement for the I j completion of Cape May's inland harbor, conforming to the original plane | j accepted by the Government, should' receive the attention of our Board of | and City Commissioners at an | early date, with a view of hastening a long deferred improvement.

» ABOUT THE BEACH r FRONT AMUSEMENT

J, What are our commissioners going to do when they are presented with e the petition backed by the vast major- - ity of voters and property owner*, » , urging the immediate acceptance of 1 the new beach front theatre proposif tioo? 1 After having publicly expressed 1 themselves as desiring to carry out the wishes of the people who elected j them to their most responsible posi- - tions, surely they must not let any ; personal prejudice stand in the way of i the hepes of the progressives of our , . city. j Can any clear thinking person doubt 1 the desirability of having on our beach s front a real opera house where highclass musical comedies, opera, vaude- £ ville, etc., of a nature that would ap- z peal to our amusement loving summer 1 j visitors could be produced T t Would it not oe one 04 the largest j c steps foreward since the building of t the Convention Pier to have construct- 1 1 ed for next season this architecturally a

X beautiful building? Would not tjps i building with its brilliantly lighted lobby and stores double the activity of | now rather meagre showing of - light and life? ■ All this and its many other attrnctlve features are to come to this dty 1 without one cent of coot to the tax- • payersl In fact, in rental and -f1 a« city would be »id p^ly tm> thousand dollars per year. ■Hie proposition itself has been ao thoroughly gone into as to give the aty all possible legal protection and has had incorporated in it suggestions our best business men, so that its absolute fairness is undoubted. It would indeed be a pity for such opportunity to be lost Our commissioners are divided in their opinion of this matter and when this peitition backed by practically the entire I city, is brought to their attention in the near future, it is hoped that fur- ! stops will not need be taken to . V its acceptance.
