.1 SCHOOL : GIHUSMON r LOUISA WOOLSON, 12, CAPE MAY .POINT SCHOOL, PRESENTS * GOOD ARGUMENTS FOR PROJECT j Hie following composition on the proposed ferry tine between Delaware and New Jersey was written by Louisa Wbolson, 12 years of age. mod in the eighth grade, as a part af tha civics course at the Cape May FWnt public school: r Several years ago a boat called the "Republic" ran from Philadelphia to " Cope May Point The landing was near the sand plant Has was one of the causes of Cope-May Point being built up end being a sum- * mer resort at that time- ' Now the commissioners ore trying to have another boat run in the samq e way. Of course there are other places competing for the ferry. Schellenger's Landing and Wildwood have been trying hard to have it come there- They have good channels for a landing but owing to the fact that the Republic landed here before, Cape May Point has a better chance of winning. [ If the ferry should lend at the end of the turnpike from West Oape May, it would be beneficial to Cape May Point in several ways: It would tend to advance the value e of property. It would cause the woods sections to be cleaned away and made into 5 building late. 6 It would cause the boardwalk and places of amusements to be rebuilt ' It would cause the lake to be beautified for picnics5 The light house is a place of interett for people and a great many people would come here to go up in the light house and see the surrounding } country from that point of view. A macadamized road is promised if the landing is placed in Cape May ' Point This will be a great inprove- , ment on the present rqad and will bring people from Cape May and ® week end pleasure seekers from Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey. In order to^ accommodate these r guests there must be a hotel equip- ^ i ped with conveniences that these people are used to having at home '• 1 Cape May Point has a safe bathing beach and -people from the inland B! villages in the country would enjoy | a clay on the beach and bathing once jin awhile- This would benefit the I amusement places in a financial way. J If visitors were continually coming I to and going from Cape May Point in I ; the evenings the streets would have - j to be lighted better. - ! Vegetables are much cheaper in - Delaware and termers from there can e I bring their produce across the bay a j and sell it in all pants of South Jerj sey- Of course this will be a great f ; benefit to the people of Cape May '. Point- < | The inhabitants of Delaware live '. and talk somewhat differently from 1 the people living in Southern Jerseya I The people o'f Oape May Point in gos ing to Delaware on the boat will - ! gradually acquire the customs of the ! Delarwarians to a certain extent Al- * I so the people of Delaware coming e | over here will bring their knowledge - of farming and ways of living to usil I The above reasons show just why d the ferry would be beneficial to Oape i- May Point if it would land her- Hie 0 property owners as well as the resi1 dents who rent their cottages are = very anxious that these improvei ments should be made here. It would Ibe beneficial to them, educationally ® I and financially. 1 INCOME TAX ^ | An income tax deputy will sit at " the office of Security Trust Company between 9-00 A- M. and 3.00 P.
