favor of renting the enclosure on the , ' , Windsor Avenue Pier.

The attempt to rent I the pier was made before, but met ! with some opposition among the com- ' missioners. Any piee of unusual property such I as this is a liability; if the Pier were } rented and transformed into an at- . tractive shop, the liability would soon e become a very derided asset. ; METHODIST Daylight Saving Time.

loyalty; and while a foundation his laid for bigger and better thinga for. this County, announcement of which cannot, with wisdom be made , by me at this timevyet, suffice to say. ! With a Senator and Assemblyman ' working through the Republican Par- ' ty for Cape May'Coanty and its citizens first, rather than secondarily,-* , this County is bound to grow and be 1 more prosperous.
