— — "If* I (")\A/ f*T"^ all the Bay Front I would consider that I controlled the second greatest ^1. asset of your Resort" So spoke a visitor this Summer who is noted for his wealth, shrewdness and sagacity. Every thinker believes this, we all believe it, for the charming development of our Bay Front with its villas, lawns and pavilions is the one unique feature that distinguishes us from other Jersey resorts. There has been a fine, spirited .activity in Ocean Front this Fall, and it will continue clear into next Summer without any abatement, but the next surest thing upon which we all can positively count is a "boom" in Bay Front, and it has already started in the upper part of the beach. We are able to make the offer of a fine boat house site with Riparian Grant, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, for only S750.00- Good water front, sound bulkhead, splendid surroundings, every public utility service passes the lot, and it is the cheapest piece of Bay Front in Ocean City. - If you were given your choice, as a gift, between Fifth street and Sixteenth street, you would select this spot As an investment or for use it is unexcelled. Decide promptly — T, . ... Act quickly- It .3 your opportunity. ~ Massey & Edwards EIGHTH AND CENTRAL AVE. «

OF INTEREST TO USERS OF GAS Important Decision Handed Down by Public Utility Commissioners. The following from ■ Camden paper 1« of Interval to people ol tble ctly: The Board of PnUlc Utility Com mlaetouam, acting lu a Judicial capacity. baa laddered a dactrton which la of no little Internet to patrooe of the corporations furnishing gas for public coiwumptlon. The caae la that of Thomae J. Murphy against the Coairt Uae Company, heard before the Com mieelou on September 12. Mr. Murphy 'a eapply of gee wee peremptorily cut oil on August IS, 1912, because he bad failed to pay a bill for gaa consumed two year* before this action was taken. The bill was hi dispute. Mr. Murphy claimed that there waa a mistake In the charge. The company had oonllnnad to give him gee for a time, had never Brought ault for the bill, but two yea re after the bill bad beau contracted assumed the right to refuse htm service until the disputed bill was paid. The Public Utility Commission decided that Mr. Murphy bad a just grievance, that the arbitrary action of the gas company waa unjustifiable, and ordered that gae be supplied la Mr. Murphy aud that the company 1 should proceed to collect Its claim by suit at law and not by refusing lu ser- 1 vice as a public utility. 1 Tble decision Is worthy of public et- ' tent loo as discrediting the sttempt of gee companies to collect old bills by refuml of service The Commission I upholds the right of a gas company to l rut off the supply when a Mil le not i paid, but bo Ida thai when there le en i honest dispute over a bill aud the ' company dote not proceed In the legal I way to collect its claim, tbare cannot I be a enbsequetK refusal of service as a I mesne of collecting I be disputed claim. • In many Instances paftsm moving • Into a bouse are told thai they cannot ' have gas until the old Unpaid claim ■ against tbe property la settled; I hey < are hdd up for IU payment. This de- t clslon makes It clear thai gas cauuol be denied a wau Id-be user who hi will- I Ing lo pay It tba service, although * ' there may be an uupald claim agalust c the property.

Any employe I who has bean thirty yean In service, i regardless of age, may be pensioned ou . ' tbe approval of tbe president of the . compauy. Tbe amouut of tbe peuslon Is automatically based on the years of ser- 1 vice and tbe amouut of pay, and 1 per ' cent, of tbe average annual pay for teu years, multiplied by the uum- ' her of years of service.
