WORK ON LAST I JETTYSTABTED RESCUES MADE BY LIFE j GUARDS THIS SUMMER— OTHER CITY HALL NEWS. The first two of the beach front have been completed, and work on the third is progressing, according to the report of City Engineer Harry Bell, at the last meeting of the I Commission, held at ten a. m. last < Tuesday- . . 1 These jetties are built in order to * form certain tides, the action of i which causes deposits of sands, and i builds up and protects parts of the ] beach depleted by periodic 6torms- ; The beneficial results of the first two ] jetties are already apparent, and with « the completion of the third and final bulwark, ample protection for the 1 beach will have been constructed. The final report of the City Life , Guards, made by Captain George Little, was read by the Clerk, for the Department of Safety. The report disclosed that ninety rescues were I made, as compared to 42 made in ; 1921. No one was drowned, nor was , any one near drowning, the rescues being all minor ones, i The number of "saves this year ■ being more than double that of last t year, seems to indicate that there . were larger crowds in the surf this , summer than last . i Captain Little reported that the Guards without exception had been - efficient, ami had paid close attention „ to their duties. Such Life Guards, i coupled with Cape May's a™ 1 jointly responsible for the fact that there has been no drowning on the - protected beach here for forty years e The report contained several rec- !. ommendations for next summer.

MAY LOAD BARCESAT HARBOR ~ I BORING THE WINTER SEASON TO DISCONTINUE IN PA RT PRACTICE OF TOWING BARGES TO PHILADELPHIA AND U TILIZE PORT OF CAPE MAY IN ITS PLACE— BOATS DRAWING 23 FEET OF WATER CAN USE INLET AFTER DREDGING IS COMPLETED.

Shipping men and financiers in a Philadelphia are watching with inter- a est progress being made in the development of the Cape May Haibor, thfe dredges now working there. In fact, ever since appropriations were a made for the improvement of the har- t bor totaling *130,000, interest of Phil- s adelphia and New York, as well as business men, have been focused t on the spacious land locked bay. ? Already naturally farmed for a per- a ! feet harbor, and, it is said, one of the « very few land locked refuges on the i coast, the million dollar jetties placed l • there in 1907, and the constant dredg- t ! ing and the big dredging appropria- i • tion this year are gradually but $ure5 ly drawing the interest of manufac- ] 1 turer and shippers in and about this i I vicinity. ' s It is said that in the winter, diffi- i cuities of towing barges all the way 1 r to Philadelphia, are manifold; that l t this practice, which is unnecessarily 1 : burdensome at any time, becomes exs tremely i impracticable in the cold i weather; and that, for this reason, I and- especially since the recent imII provements to the Cape May Harbor, • 1 and due, in part, to a considerable '• amount of advertising the harbor has i e received lately from various sources, t that the loading of barges in the fute ure will be done at Cape May, mater5- ' ial being freighted from Philadelphia, instead of making the irksome trip ■ msteaa oi maxing xne irksome s

around and through the Delaware Bay i and up the Delaware River- * Looking toward the taking care of ^ this freight traffic by rail from, Phil- j adelphia here, the Philadelphia and ( Reading Railroad, which already pos- ■ sesses trackage and facilities to . Schellengers Wharf, wil build addi- j tional tracks, and a large freight ■ wharf, with capacity to handle' all anticipated business. This was un- ■ officially announced recently. A large real estate speculator, who recently consummated a big Teal estate deal in this vicinity, in an interview with the STAR & WAVE, said, "I can readily see the commercial possibilities of Cape May Harbor, ; and intend to invest in it. Cape May is growing into one of the largest fishing ports on the coast, and with - the added improvements and developt ments of the harbor, the time is right r for exploitation on a large scale " This man, who prefers having his 1 name withheld for some time, is con- , templating, among other things, an immense ice house and cold storage , on the harbor front. Hotel men and others, seeing the ; success of the Halschaw lines, and . the increased traffic of those lines - next summer, believe it is possible to - attract passenger lines from other , points beside New York and Philadel-

BE SURE TO VOTE t if • c The responsibility for public affairs t 5' rests upon the shoulders of the legal t voters, women and men. Patriotism \ ^ begins at home. c The evils which threaten the safety « of the Republic are those which arc \ ^ allowed to develop in its cities ann I countries. If we refuse to vote or to take any part in correcting these evils at home, we fail in our duty to the I nation as well as in that to our home t

or county. Not only that but corrupt management of public affairs touches every pocket whether taxpayer or rent paver. This city is yours as much as anybody else's. This county is yours as much as anybody else's. Help to care for both by voting for reliable men in the County and ail other offices. Some waiters make more money than the fellows who give them the biggest tips. t

the summing up It 1 Tuesday next, September 26th in the great day when the people of Cape { "May County will decide whether or not the cdunty government shall be hon- • eatly administered by men of proven ability and integrity, its resources and t , revenues conserved, its interests protected and its debts reduced. If we shall j fail to secure for the new county board the proper men, the coetly investiga- j tion of the affairs of the old board of freeholders, the greater expense of the trials before the courts, the mandate of the people for better conditions ; through a small board of freeholders selected by the countv at large — all ■ will have proven useless and our much harassed county will be worse off < 1 1 than ever. ' '■ ' f There are offered for the choice of the legal Republican voters for nomi-l' j ! nation of the county board, three men, admittedly, of the highest integrity, 1 j and of unquestionable ability. Their public and business experience has been ' ' ' such as to fit them as well as any three men could be fitted, for the manage- 1 - ment of our county affairs, honestly, judiciously and economically. If there * ' were no corrupt manipulation and control of groups of voters, these men - would be nominated by phenomenal majorities, for the uncontrolled portion of the legal Republican voters realize their fitness and integrity and the great importance of securing their services for the new small board of freeholders. r, ..... 1 5| „ " " ! o We firmly believe that in spite of the efforts of those interested in con--s tinuing the old practices, these men will be nominated. r.|

j Their nomination by a big majority, however, will be doubly assured, if £ every Republican woman and man, will do their duty and vote. j jj ■ ••••••• n |f This is the greatest opportunity ever offered to the thoughtful women c and men Republicans of this county to assert themselves and to prove that " they stand for clean government, business efficiency and the best men as a public officials and that they will not permit the grand old party or the grand v old county to be controlled by the disorderly and lawless elements. r • ••••••• e The candidates for Assembly, Sheriff, Surrogate and State Committee v ; are equal in character, sincerity, experience and ability to those for the coun- ( ty board and the whole ticket is entitled to the confidence of all the Republi- , can voters of the county. i I How may this ticket be nominated? Simply by every Republican woman £ | and man taking sufficient time on Tuesday, September 26th to go to the polls < • arid vote the ticket which stands for civic betterment, clean government and * | husiness efficiency and which includes the following candidates: f ( t Assembly Small Board. 2 Years j AARON W.

DANCING OUSTED ( BY BASKETBALL SCHEDULES PLANNED FOR WIN- A TER SEASON BY V. F. W. AND HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS. No sooner had the strains of the last waltz died away on Tuesday night and the end of the -City Dances so marked, than basketball enthusiasts H shaping their olans for the win- h season- f In fact before the dances were over, o J. O'Shaughnessy, represent- e ing the local chapter of the Veterans o of Foreign Wars, had appeared be- t fore the City Fathers, asking permis- n 1 sion for the use of the Convention fe Hall for the planned home games of p • the Veterans team And at the last ' meeting of the Commisioners, a simi- r ' request from Prof L. A. Rodes, c City Superintendent of Schools, was J ' received and filed. 1 Moreover, rumor has it that in addi- J ' tion to the V. F. W. team, and High j • School team, both of which are as- t ' sured facts, there are nlanped vailous t > lodge and church teams, and a semi- £ ' professional team. So it looks as t though Cape May may have a basket- 1 i ball league all within the walls of the e ' city, this winter- t t Of course, dancing will continue. I j under the supervision, and with the t s really good music of local talent. But 1 ' nominally, though .perhaps only nomi- < nally, basketball will be the main at- 1 e traction. j 1 i SHRINED OUTING : BIG EVENT ~ THOUSANDS OF MYSTIC BROTH-! it ERS CONVERGE AT ATLANTIC' rs CITY FOR GORGEOUS FESTIVI- 1 c TIES.
