The fallowing letter was read at Council's meeting ou Tuesday evening: Totbc Common Connell of Ocean C!ty ; Gentleman:—It le a well known fact that the exterior Una mtabllsbad on 1 front In Ocean City by the riparian eoramhwlon of New jerney I* very nearly on the shore—In fact, at low tide It la actually on the beech Tor a conaMerable distance, owing to the rapid accrelton of the sand. Certain owners have applied for this riparian grant from the Slate, but when It* tocatton ha* been considered they have | felt that they should get more for their money, partl|mlar!y since tba Inease In price for such grant. I have had some correspondence with re secretary and engineer of tha comitwkin, and bt aaggaet* that in order 1 bring the matter before the commb*km In as strong a manner a* pomlble a request from yonr honorable body, a* well aa that of clt lr,en*, should

Conspicuous among other accoinpllstimenis Is tha building of the uew boardwalk In theaoullieru part of the city. For a time It looked a* If this would be impossible of realtxallou, a* one obstacle after another appeared,' but it I* now only a matter of a abort lime when ltd* work will be Itnuhed excepting that portion In front of laud tor which the city ooald aot get ea»tH will be a delicate ques■liie whether or uot tbl* he done under another contiact, forobviona reaeons, will make pensive for the city than if done under the original itra^t, as we hoped It might.

It la a matter of regret that nothing ha* been done toieenre the city's easement on grounds aloog tbe old boardwalk. We are going along very comfortably at tbl* time, notwithstanding - ‘ 1. therefore, the temptation la to lot the i«mt go unsettled, hot every addition* I year that this 1* ton undone the more complicated and expensive It ' it finally must bedone. The »ame argument applies to tbe break tn Atlantic avenue nertb of Eighth street, and I am of the same opto Ion ae a year ago, and belle rathe

I therefore auggert that you direct the clerk, if you *0 desire, to request of the riparian commlHloti tbe relocation of tbe exterior line to a point uol leas than 1000 feet eastward from the boardwalk. Since tbl* carries no obligation or expense of any sort, and It will materially asalrt tn the matter before ua, l trust yon may be b'e to comply with this request.

Nofwtthatamflag the fact that Connell ha* not seen It* way clear to provide for a city oomptroller. 1 believe this matter h of enfflcleut Importanoe to again call yonr attention to H. The additional expense might seem a step In the direction of unncceoeary ex travagance, bull unconvinced that it would be a matter of economy for Council to provide for such an omeor.
