We have cruised along the s Atlantic seaboard from Maine to s Florida for the past twenty years and t nowhere along the coast is any such harbor and entrance to be fopnd. The harbor is second to NONE. But — it is not the scene of boating activities that it once was. " The summer before the war we anchored in the harbor on a Saturday morning In the afternoon we wit- ^ nessed as fine a sail boat race as we frnH ever seen. In addition, speed - boats, and cruisers were speeding j about in great numbers and we were , told that this was a regular Saturday . afternoon event- We considered Cape f May waters the yachtsman's paradise. But since the war boajfctf has been absolutely dead- But few boats visit j these waters now, and. boatmen are compelled to go to Atlantic City, Chelsea and Seaside Park for their < sport. ' , \ Millions have been spent on the , harbor and it is a shame for 'it to fall into partial disuse- _ Let us . restore Cape May to its rightful position — that of the yachting headquarters of the Atlantic boardANONYMOUS. ' ' COLLECT THE TAXES { Officers are elected to fill the var- j ious positions which are necessary to s be filled in a city, to represent the ' citizenry and to perform certain du- ^ ties. When they fail to do the thing _■ for which they are elected and paid, ' the y should not remain in office- The tie problem which confronts all cities, counties, states and nations is the se- , curing of revenue for maintenance- ; In cities like this the chief resource • is taxation. It is essential that the ( amounts necessary for the mainten- , ance of the city shall be equitably assessed against all properly, polls, dogs, etc-, and that after the assessment is made that they shall be coj- . lected. Every citizen who pays his taxes is entitled to be guaranteed that every other citizen shall pay his. Otherwise an injustice is done him. There- is ample law bv- which r • 1 dollar of personal, poll or property ' tax can be collected and the pro /is- 1; ions of the law should be e-rforceJ, 1 and every dollar collected. Thv.-s-ands in interest upon money borrow- ' ed in anticipation of taxes would be saved if the taxes were collected.. " ' It is being discovered in Wildwood that properties bid in by the citg for ] taxes at the tax sales can be made ' to yield the sums due when the city 1 goes through /the necessary orocess of 1 legally taking nqssosskin of them- ! The owners hi most cases get bo , 1 and find monejrto pay the claims, and j : are apt to avoid permitting their properties to be sold for taxes thereafter. This is no new discover)-. Probably every city which becomes ; energetic enough to .enforce tax claims in this way discovers the same : thing. Cape May needs to get busy ; at once along these lines. One of the results will be a reduction of the -efix rate. Another will be a greater ■ re sped for the city and its officials. Another will be encouragement to those who are cheerfully willing to pay their share of the city's expanses but hate to be compelled to pay ir addition to this the share of the de- • Gnquents, because of the -neglect to ; enforce the law" for the collection of all taxes. The Board of Freeholders have no moral or legal right to consider the interests of one part of the comity : as superior to the interests of any , other part, but in their treatment of ! Case May City and vicinity they ; have acted as though these munici- ( palities were outside the pale and were to be permitted only to con- l tribute heavily every year for the upbuilding of every other resort in the county. The glaring inconsistency of hesitating to grant to the' Pennsyl- - vania railroad a right of way over the turnpike to Cope May Point and . the absurdity of claiming that, if ' granted, it should be for freight purposes only is shown in bold relief i when contrasted with the readiness 1 with which thousands have been spent i to close Turtle Gut Inlet, build a road i fin the barren Two Mile Beach ami i

r grant an immediate right of way to the Pennsylvania railroad to build a railroad thereon. This policy must be changed and the rights of this section of the county must be recognized.
