THE COMMON BOND When City Engineer Harry E. Weir, of Wildwood, stated before a Kiwapis Club dinner at Ocean City a few weeks ago, that the same quality of boosting spirit which is manifest among the resort® of the California coast is needed amon- the resorts of the South Jersev coast, he tapped a keynote that should produce harmony and would were the idea carried outIt was Mr- Weir's suggestion that the resorts from Ocean City to Cape May boost the common products of health, pleasure, amusement, climate! and opportunities. That is, boost the seashore business and group of re- ! sorts as a whole in general and the home town in particular, "knocking" When vessels were the chief means , of transportation and roads a sec- 1 ondary consideration, Cape May ' county was all but shut' from the outside world by the continuous chain ; of cedar swamps extending across 1 from Petersburg to Dennisville and ! the bay. For a long time there was | no highway aside from the Indian , trails through thjs well night im- j penetrable tarcrie of virgin forest and ' muddy bottoms. Then Cape May was tsie only re- j sort and it was sufficient to cater ! to all the tourists who felt the need of a season at the "shore-" Now a j vacation is a recognized necessity to ! human welfare and the supply of re- j sort facilities all put together is not ! enough to meet the demand — or rather we might say, would not be if »he proper harmonv existed and a j general advertising campaign was ■ launched in unison to "sell" the re- , sorts. The automobile is ubiquitous. The j trains tap all coast resorts and the I combined railroads and auto roads i are already taxed in mid-season, the ; railroads according to their own figures have been unable to put enough rolling stock into commission at times to accommodate the demand. At present all the trade of the ' Cape May county resorts must come through the northern end of the 1 county. The time is rapidly approach- ' ing when the railroads will be forced . to furnish more rolling stock, double track or better the present routes and i electrify ethers. We say "forced in full appreciation of the word, for if | the two roads do not rise to the I emergency there will be other com- 1 panies who will be organized if necessary to cater to the demand for quick efficient transportation to and from the coast ooints. The commuter will be one of the greatest factors in this changeSome day, in spite of peanut politics, jealousies and narrow-minded antagonism, the Delaware-New Jersey ferry will be an established fact ; Then the means of ingress and egress to the county will be doubled. From I southern points they will come by the j ferry route; from northern points by | auto direct and by rail. The Great Common Ground There is a great common ground upon whjch all the resorts and the | country districts may meet without conflicting with purely Ipcal programs or interests. By the elimination of the spirit of knocking each other, the resorts will be able to build up a greater trade for the coast in general- This will mean that the vacationist will think of the sea when vacation time approaches and then make his selection of the particular point on the coast that will suit he and his faiajly best- "They are all good. Now Which will be best for us?" is the frar^e of mind to get our - pros-ective customers into. The development of Cape May county as a whole is common cause , enough to bring fcvery city, town and I , hamlet into line-Tor better things, and this can be tone despite the dif- ' ferences which nihst arise from geographical location", and particular requirements of mAapalities- There ' isn't a single pr%rressive step thai j can be taken by tny muncipaKty or section that shoul<j*rouse antagonism J or jealousy in Oth|rs providing these problems are appr^gched in the same ! broad-minded mamer that two big- ' calibred business ifen in similar cal- llings would meet hem A drygoods 1 merchant, for instance, would hardly ' meet competition % declaring that the competitors' A-goods were all f poor quality. He fould rather take the attitude of "lr. So and So's 1 goods are all right-! AH drvgoods in J this town are w* worth buying, , BUT you should s* our stock and values first- WE tike a SPECIAL 0 business to study yakr needs." ' Because of geographical reasons it 7 would seem logical tlat adjoinii^ re- 7 sorts mio-ht better fester their own 7 growth and welfare by creating a " feeling of sistershin and frienkiness 0 which might not be possible between s themselves and resorts farther awav . on the coast and in close proximity ® to other resorts whose interests are identical. c Wildwood and Cape May have much 5 incommon for several reasons, and 9 there is a growing sentiment in these £ two cities among the more progres- . sive thinkers to look with suspicion 7" upon the men who seem to miss no n opportunity to raise a point 0f differ- p ence between these neighboring n municipalities. It is hard to imagine any' great improvement in either of s: th«e resorts that will not benefit % Ocean City is fighting for a toll Y, free bridge and the men who want „ the State to take over that section of highway are justified in their de- X mands. Toll bridges are out of date They irritate travelers more because u of the silly delav and annoyance than ifor the paltry charges Ocean City wants its nathern link " with the world a free oneiefore the n, bqmers Point-Beasleys poi road is ti built and the deepest studJ ts of the £ £°Ujrir "eJ,fare a*ree thd ^ere is „ hard headed reasoning behl the de- u n»nd. It ,s selfish to I int the ™ bridge freed in a sense, but very resort has something it need for its selfish interests and each ii justified "LXIS want because the tftgs are in 1 needed for the welfare of fct par- "I

ticular oommunftv- ! The Somen Point to Beasleye Point Z. ! bridge wiH be boitt eventually; but i under present conditions it would | seem more sensible to make the presy I ent highways through the bayside it towns by the way of Eldora, the a TuckahOe to Mays Landing and the ,f road by the way of Ocean City up to ; the standard by hard surfacing and v | to repair and makes the bridges t- 1 sound, and after that is done to cenit I ter upon the hew span across the two ie j points. ' >f| Such a program could woric no ,ej hardship -or discrimination against e ; an>- section or any resort, would war- '- rant co-operation and concerted ac,e | tion from all points and would eoual- " I ly benefit every section of the countyThe resorts pocketed at the extreme is j end of the county peninsula need the j rt>°d roads through the northern v I boundaries of the county as "feede . ers," they being the fartherest aw n from the larger cities and af a disads vantage to that extent. For like d j reasons these same southern resorts ,s | should have the ferry across the Deln ! aware Bay, and in this nroject it is i- j hard to understand why all the cound ty resorts will not be equally benefitted- True, the tourist will land at Cape May Point or- vicinity, according ,r to present plans. What matter? ,i | They will not stay there but will seek their destination decided upon before 0 | they left their southern homes and it «- is very likely a part will reach At- ,, ; 1 antic (Sty which is in. another counir | ty. All of them will not, however, j and every resort from Cane May to Ocean City will get a portion of thi« _s j trade. Should- Cape May county hold ; back the ferrv because some of the j tourists will go to another county? e j Certainly Such a thought is unworthy e of Mr business. ' sj Some, of the farmers of the county e j oppose the ferry because of the pro- ,. duct which will certainly be brought h in from Delaware and Maryland. s Again a purely selfish and natural ifeeli.ig. But our country cousms e cannot turn back the trade between e Jersey and the states across the ba<" e | verv much longer, ferry or no fern- . I for even now th4re are boat lines'be,j ing organized for the produce trade e only, and the holding back of the ferd ry will not stay the produce from the n I resort markets. f Progress has ever met with oppoe j silion but progress has prevailed - j shce time began, and it would seem f m»re to the point for those sections r hi by the march of better things to d reidjust themselves to the inevitable r anl beat competition to itn Alien more business methods and conmon sense instead of politics l_ rues the destinies of Oape Mav ^ oointy this wonderful peninsula will .. hive come into her own. The polit tlian goes into politics for what he «. an get out of it for himself. The ~ v«ters put him in office. Why not e nake him produce results for the | canity entire, but before expecting resets the county ' should decide uoon wiat it wants- If different sections j an at loggerheads and want entirel- _ diferent things and conflicting things t at that, how can an elected office . bolder please all factions It cannot lie done. 1 Ocean City should have the bridge } free of tolls. So should the rest of L the county that lies along the ocean , front f»r the tourist must come that ' j way now- to get into the county. • I The ierry should become an actual : fact. All Oape May county seeds .the ' . additional trade that can be had in ' ; no other way. There is a vast field ; to the south of us which we should , . have and the closer to the -coast we , keep the travel the better will be the j future of all coast resorts- . Wildwood should and will have the | Grassy Sound bridge. The road is ! It is needed and the road is . useless until the bridge completes the ^ Every section of the county should' J work with might and main to secure the development of Cold Spring harbor. It is not purely a local ad- i vantage to Cape May and Wildwood. It is the opportunity for world trade ; at our doors. The possibilities of . great industrial enterprizes centers . around the haihor on all sides, and i industrial development will mean em- . ploymem to all' the county- Wild- { w-ood and Cape May does not have the population to grab all the jobs- (- In fact neither does the present pop- ( ulation of the county. Industrial de- r velopment will mean more homes in j Cue greater population and t the beginning of a permanent place B the map. Atlantic City is going v after just such trade and will get it 1 1 to some extent, but unfortunately v for that city the harbor at her doors t is not "one, two, three" with Cold Spring harboT, now known to be one C of the very few in ALL THE EARTH so close to the ocean. Taxes are admittedly high- The 5 however, is not in cessation _ of development and progress, but the contrary. Develop Cape May countyget more homes and population to I shoulder the burden. Thousands of vacant acres in the county «dwait the home builder. As vacant land the are little but when the buildings are erected there is assessible property. Hien why retard the revenue ? We need fewer star chamber sessions, secret pacto and whispered agreement*; less studied diplomacy, * clever double-crossing and Richelieumanipulations- They are cancers I in the public welfare whether international or municipal, and the only ' wray to eliminate them is by frank man-to-man square dealing. * Cape May county is a gold mine of d undeveloped possibilities to its popu- ti and an undiscovered Edep to n countless thousands at our doors. d Shall we develop this garden spot r now for posteritv, or shall we waste h in piffle- twaddle and let posteritv , h begin where we ought and then re- ° cerve their just commendation for our * lack of foresight and progressive- ® ness?
