The Ocean City Board of Registry met on Tuesday, when quite a number of new names were added to the list. R. H.

It is now a law of this state that all policies of insurance upon property therein must be written by agents who are actual residents of the State, and a misdemeanor for any non-resident agent to write or issue any policy on property within the State, under a penalty of $25 for the first, and $100 to $250 for each subsequent offense. Look at your policies.

It does not necessarily follow that because a newspaper prints communications from people on local or other topics that said publication thereby endorses what is said. A newspaper is published for the information of the public. The editor's views are given in the columns over which he presides, and he generally tries to be fair to all concerned. In our own case we have often written articles that may have seemed critically harsh, but if so it was not done through any personal feeling, only that the occasion and the times called for such action for the public good.
