Board, Back of Move.

Members of Hie Gcesn City Board of rade, aCthe regular meeting Monday night, expressed themselves etithunlastlcslly In favor of a bridge across Great Kgg Harbor Hay from this pity •0 Homers’ Point,for Ihe use of satomoilles,owners oftruck farms In Atlantic

'amity and the general public. .

A (-raiding lo those at the meotTng, a bridge such as Is desired can be bnllt 1200,1100, and the opinion was freely pressed that the desired amount can

raised without very much elTort,

provided Ihe Board of Trade I* back of

remeiiLand the right man Is secured to gel subacrlptlong.

Introducing the subject, Mayor Headley said he thought many of the members were at the meeting to con-

matter of bonding a bridge

from Ocean City to Homers' PolnL .H* •aid he thought Ihe people of Ocean .illy and visitors here are Interested. In his opinion Ihe raising of money for Ihe purpose would be an easy matler. It Is now up to a Moses to take this mailer up, and If the proper person Is secured the full amount can be raised

1 two weeks.

If Ocean City had this connecting link with AtlauilcCity,the people here ould have no trouble In getting s road to the mainland, the speaker aeld. •ontlnulng, he said be understand* that there Is a good road from Bethel Church, which Is a I HI !e above Homers' Point, and from there -Is a good road Landing. This would make the distance from Ocean City to Philadelphia sixty miles, an appreciable re-

dncliou*

Buch a bridge would bring many people lo Ocean City. There is a succession of farms along Ihe river road in illcCoumy and the owners would bring their farm truck here, to the distinct advantage In price to Ocean City people. Homers' Point would be practically a suburb of Ocean City, and Clfla would he excerietit for (he trade#-

people.

The speaker said his hearers oould hardly realize what this would mean
