A GREATER CAPE MAY j Ever since West Cape May was 3 first, incorporated in 1884 there has } been talk of its becoming a part of this city. The suggestion was first ) made by some of the residents of the x borough and was rather feverishly % objected to for the alleged reason ' that the city would be called upon for more city conveniences than could be paid for out of the additional taxes which would be collected from the annexed area- The real reason was. however, that politicians feared that they could not control the West Cape May vote- Since that time people in this city have advanced the idea several times, hut it has been frowned upon by the people of the borough because they thought they would he cal- 1 led upon for more taxes. There ~ seems to be now, however, in both f city and borough, a sentiment in favor of the union. The difficulty first mentioned is not liekly to operate now. because we have no enthroned , boss in this city, although we are not blind to the fact, by any means, that we have an aspirant, one who avoids the limelight, however, with "some- = what scrupulous care The tax ques- C tion is not likely to bother for each of the towns seem to be doing as much as-phe other along this line Perhaps the time has arrived to consummate this union- We believe 1 that it could "prove advantageous to both places and give prestige and ad- p vancement to both. TJie combined — power of both united would be much Kf greater than that of either separate J They naturally belong together and - such a union for governing purposes ; should promote economy by doing 9 away with quite a handful of offices a and salaries. The union of the schools B I under one head and one system would @ M be wonderfully beneficial. Our citi- B jjzens In both places will do well to H . think this matter over- B
