The (committee, n composed of former postmaster a E. Taylor, chairman Ir\-ingS. a |£ld redge, and Dr. J R- Moon, rei ported through the chairman of the b (committee, Mr. Taylor, that aftei |0 careful consideration, the committee w decided on site of the former I gj landing of the steamer Republic, at! si the end of the Cape May Point jj for the landing of the fer--oj ^ iol Mr. Tavlor that thp»-e urora _ s state<l

n several salient reasons why tflfc com- !< " mittee had decided on the Cape May i 1 Point Site, the shortness of the route j (between Lewes and Cape May being ( e one of the chief reasons. Mr Tay- 'j jlor said that it would be possible to f ' | have a boat every hour between Cape f May Point and Lewes, but that if the r boat was to run into the harbor that fc 1 only one boat every' five hours would t r be possible. Another reason vyds f • that the capacity of the sfeamer f would be cut from twelve hundred to b seven hundred passengers if the boat j used the harbor. The outside route n would mean that a double crew of & men and officers would have to be n carried. The committee asked the league v | members to ratify the choice of the r which was done without one fr vote in opposition. t] It is understood that the new Jer- el sey State Highways Commission will p hard surface the Cape May ?oint fi boulevard between this city ant the t landing before the opening of the Senator William H.

Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics of the American League Base Ball Team, be invited to be the speakof the evening. The secretary instructed to invite Connie Mack ! to be the League's guest or. that! nigbt The Publicity Committee also pro- ' -porad that the league should invite |! the University of Pennsylvania base ' team to do their spring training ■ this year, and the secretary vas ' instructed to write a letter to the 1 chairman of the base ball committee , at the University of Pennsylvania, and jlso to write a letter to Coach Heisman, of the foot ball team, invite the team to train at the next fall. Commissioner J George Wentzel! said that after the ( squad had left here last fall „ the Citv Commission**!*; un-(!f^ !a _ the wrote to

* the Pennsylvania manager inviting them to return to the shore and that * a reply had been received that was r very favorable. The Progressive League's Publicity Committee is fir-' ' ranging to have a road sign similiar to the now fambus sign at the jutetion of the WiMwood road and She ' seashore boulevard, placed on toe ' WLitehorse pike- The Publicity Coinmittee have also been instructed Ito 1 find the cost of booklets for the city ; which the Publicity Committee intehd to have printed, and sent all over toe country before the first of April. Mr. Spring said that be had heard lot of adverse criticism in reference the contest to the awarding of the slogan prize- Chairman Spring said that he would personally offer a prize . : I

TiakUent Davis then -urged the meaton to enter a new oootert and requbrted tftT Ptfdidty Committee to furrffo a slogan if they, found, after opening tt»e new offers, none suitable their use. HIGH SCHOOL WEEKLY NEWS It was surprising to note how eagerly the students came bade to resume work after the terrible grind of the Christmas holidays. Perhaps holidays were getting a bit monotonous which was shown by certain 1 studerts giving vent to their inner- I mort feelings by saying, '"How glad ' we are to be in our dear old High 1 again." ( Hie attendance marks for Decern- < have shattered all previous rec- 4 lords. There were 18 tardy marks - Which conclusively shows that every i i did his best at trying to pre- I the attendance records of Cape 1 High Schoql. The percentages I of attendance, r that is, that per cent ' of each class who were neither late 4 i — wuio were neiuier late '

.nor ahsent, are as follows: For De- ! Icember, Seniors, 91-6 perv cent; Jun80.3 per cent; Sophomores, 95-5 cent; Freshmen, 93.7 per cent, malting a general average of 90-3 per cent Credit is due to certain students who, through increased ef- < fort and perseverance, have been | * neither late nor absent from the very ' j. of the school year up to the end of December. They are as 'allows: Seniors, Rose Fay, Mae Annie Johnston, Edith Wilt- * James Cavalcante; Juniors, Henrietta Ballanger, Eleanor BosserRuth Wiicks, Morris Cherry, Jos- * seph El well, William Lynne; Sopho-, Henry Bennett, Karl Dickin- a son, John Donley, Weaver Howard, Marcy, Alfred Matthews, HarMilsted, James Owens, Annabelle Sara Johnson, Helen d'Rom- S tra, Lilliam Smith; Freshmen, Flor- L Bennett, Sara Dawson, Marion Dilks, Virginia Ehvell, Edith Grif- c .Dorothy Palmer, Oscar Ewing, S Ti'»mus Vastine, Thomi» Witobank.

RELMOVAL OF GARBAGE BY CONTRACT Have the taxpayers considered the saving in money it would be to them each year to have the garbage collected by contract As it is done now it costs the avhouseholder *tn have his garbage inadequately and unsatisfactorily removed, about fifty dollars a whereas by contract it would cost the taxpayer not to exceed 5 jper cent- of the total amount of his j tax bill.

d For instance, a man now paying iri$100 dollars a year for taxes would 0 be assessed $5 for the removal of e j his garbage for one year. Or a man e paying $200 would be assessed $10 e j and so on. e j In addition to this" very evident gj saving in money the citizens would r i be ri«l of the nuisance of the un- | unsightly and offensive garbage wagions now in use. And above all else the removal of garbage by contract would be a step fql-ward for Cape 1 1 May. J t Cape May is known to be the old5 1 est seashore resort on the Atlantic 0 I coast- No doubt the present antiI, j qua ted system of removing garbage (is a relic of her ancient days. 1 1 But in the dawning of her new . splendor let us cast aside such meth1 , ods. , ti » — » » — THE TERRIBLE TUMULTY -| The January FORUM, commenting ion certain political aspects, says: . | "The rumor that America's newest : j most pretentious author, Mr. Joseph ■ | Tumulty, was to j return to political activities as the manager of Mr- Her- . j Hoover's presidential aspirations, .would indicate that it is not alone in finance and art that the world is top-sy-turvy.
