KM Win : GHMIBER OFGOMMERGE : 1 (Continued from page one) 1 | added much to the value of the county yet, as the ! total valuation that year i was $2,448,000 ( j combined resorts were valued at 4-— — 910,000 . i And the balance of the enI tire county $1,538,000 J Ten years later )1895) we find that , Wildwood had been added (probably about 1886); also South Cape May, , Aval on, Stone Harbor and Wildwood . Crest, and the resort valuations show- , ed a considerable increase. | total valuation of the county that year was — $4,759,000 . Of that amount the valua- ( tion of the resorts was — 2,955,000 | And the balance of the entire county $1,804,000 ( After another ten years (1905) the , valuation of the resorts have increas- j ed by leaps and bounds. The total valuation of the ( county that year was — $10,187,000 j Of that amount the valua- j , tion of the resorts was 7,800,000 i ^ ~ 1 And the balance of the en- 1 tire county _$2,387 ,000 Another ten years' period brings us ] , J£15, and the resort valuations that j ye£r show even greater increase. The total valuation of the county was $33,694,000 , Of that amount the valuation of the resorts was 30,000,000 ^ And the balance of the en- ( tire county $3,694,000 Last, but not least, the year 1920 the real estates value of the county was $35,964,568 Of that amount the valua- , tion of the resorts was — 30,000,000 , t And the balance of the en- | tire county 1 $3,694,568 , The resorts showing more than eight 1 times the value of the balance of the ; entire county. i Increase in Real Estate Values : From 1877 to 1920 the real estate , values in the entire county have in- ^ creased from $2,385,000 to $35,964,568 ; or more than fifteen times. The values in the eounty independ- | j ent of the resorts have' increased j from $1,685,000 to $3,964,568, or twen- , ty-three tenths times. ] The values in the resorts have in- , creased from $700,000 to $32,000,0oo, , or nearly 46 times. ; in Population During the 1 \ Same Period i The permanent population in the en- ' I tire county has increased from 9,400 ( to 24,500 or twenty-six tenths times. ^ The poplation in the county inde- , pendent of the resorts is now 11,000, , i anrl the permanent population of the ( I resort?.. is 13,500. It is estimated,' ) however, that the population of the , ! resorts is increased at least 15 times , 1 in the summer season. This would I , give the resorts a summer population | of 202,500. The Amount of Money Paid Into the , , County Treasury in Taxes Is As ( Follows: entire county pavs $460,594 ( Of that amount resorts pay 405,969 ( The rest of the entire county j pays ' $54,625 Or in other words, the re- ! sorts are now paying 88 per j , cent and the rest of the county— 12 ; ] per cent of the taxes for the mainte- , : nance of the county as a whole. j j These figures are not made for the purpose of placing the interior of the • ! county to a disadvantage, but more . particularly to prove that as an indus- , j try of Cape May County the resorts , no rival. j It has been estimated that the sea- . shore resort business is the third larg- i est industry in the State of New Jersay, and surely Cape May County pos- , sesses the greatest possibilities of any i county in the state. A glance at the claims of a sister . resort in an adjacent county should ■ be suffcient to indicate that the resort . industry of Cipe May County has as yet scarcely scratched the surface. These are only a few of their claims: An assessed real estate valhation of $106,000,000. A permanent population of 50,000. An annual average population of 100,000. A high water mark (August) popution of —.450,000 Yearly visitors 15,000,000 Has about 1,200 hotels, all sTzes. Has a $4,000,000. hotel and another tap r-floo. Has hotel properties worth $70,000,000. ' — Has in summer 75,0000 bathers daily. With these accomplished facts and with possibilities yet beyond their

fondest dreams, who can estimate the possibilities of Cape May County reforts with four times the area and ocean frontage? No* we come to the question of how can these possibilities be realized and when? The answer to that question depends upon the inspiration, the vision, the enterprise and the determination of those present at this Chamber of Commerce meeting tonight. Are we satisfied to be conservative and economical to the extreme of meanness, to permit selfishness and petty jealousies to govern our actions in our relationsiiips — one community with another? To go along the lines of least re1 sistance and let "George do it"? satisfied that the end has been reached and that now we should be content to drift and grow old gracefully? Or are we willing and anxious to recognize and accept this County Chamber of Commerce as the clearing house for all business vital to the interest of the county as a whole, and sacrifice enough of our time and to ifiake it what it should be, 1 institution for the purpose of studying and determining our needs, and of supplying the ways and means of providing for them. I In closing can you picture a County i Chamber of Commence with permanent headquarters located at the County Seat, with a paid secretary I and publicity man devoting 365 days in the year to the work of "telling to ! the world" what we have ? | Can you imagine any investment paying such dividends as the few dollars per year invested in membership ? Is it possible for us to realize and grasp our opportunities; or are we satisfied to leave them a legacy to our posterity ? A RESOLUTION Whereas, The whole State of New Jersey will be greatly benefitted with motor or automobile route connection with the State of Delaware from the most southernmost point in New Jersey, whereby a direct route for tourists coming to this state from the South Atlantic states, by avoiding a of about two hundred miles which now necessitated by having to travel by way of Wilmington or Philadelphia, and the ferrying across to New and Whereas, The bringing of tourists ferry across the Delaware Bay from the duPont highway of Delaware would, therefore, make the South two hundred miles nearer to all the summer resorts located on the New Jercoast, and produce many thousands of dollars of new business for . such resorts, which resorts now make up about one quarter of the taxable property of New Jersey; there be it Resolved, That the Cape May CounChamber of Commerce heartily approve Tne>fa(rtA now being put forth for the securing ferry connection with the duPont highway of the State of Delaware and a point on the southern end of the peninsula of Cape May County; and that this Chamber urges i all citizens of southern New Jersey join in the efforts to secure such a | ferry service by supporting and ap1 proving the passage of a bill now in | the House of Assembly, which propos- ! ed law will place in the hands of the ' State Highway Commission the authj ority to construct such ferry and operate the same as a part of the highway system of this state; and be it further Resolved, That the Senate and the I House of Assembly are hereby earnI estly requested to enact such bill into j law, and that copies of these resolutions be forwarded to both said bodi and be it further Resolved, That Governor Edward I. Edwards, whose interest for the advancement of New Jersey in every respect, is hereby requested to approve such bill when it comes into his hands for consideration; and that a copy. or these resolutions be also sent him; and it further Resolved, That the president of this Chamber of Commerce be and he is authorized to appoint a suitable committee of as many members as he shall think fit to appear in and urge upon the Senate ■ and Assembly the necessity and im1 portance of the enactment of such bill into law. 1 A similar bill was passed by the State Senate and Assembly at the last" • session and was vetoed by the Governor' for reasons of his own. The bill now has a very good chance to pass ' as the governor's former objections I — « — 1 $5,000 ENDOWMENT r An endowment fund of $5000 has been established in Erma for caring ■ for the cemetery grounds connected with the Tabernacle M.
