When oom par ail rely few person! rtatlcil them, elaborate systems of sewerage were ua. the summer homes of thousands it b highly important that the moat improvml method should he adopted. If neglected there la danger that the seaside cities will develop disease rather than health. Asbury I'ark la carefully drained. Atlantic City baa adopted a sewerage system which la creditable to the place. But there are various resoita which have done llule or nothing In this important direction, and notable among them is Cape May. . It baa often been ashed Muring the warn Juat 'dosing; What is the nutter Jrith Cape May? With natural conditions unsurpassed this famous old resort baa been linking Into a decay from srbicb only heroic methods tan reclaim abominable draiusge. A croc* wblcb wamlcrs through the heat I of tin- town allowed to collect all the tilth which In every direction. For IhUlbe. council la at fault, as it Is for most of the Ills from which Cape May suffers. f-'glcs who dominate the Council the Hoard of Health should tske the matter in hand In the Interests of good health Cape May voluntarily wlU.not cut off should be made to do so by law. There are residents of Cape May who imbued wi-b lUb enterprising spirit the age, bu* unfortunately they are In check by tbe fossils who arc opposed l« all improvcm- nts. lt Is time tbe property owners should assert and infu-e new Wood into their 1- cal goverumen*. It will then be possible to repair the • tree la, to dram city and to placo pavilions along tbe bcadi, something that rrery live re. sort considers one of tbe first necessities.
