In fact, tc( quote nlm literally, "This Is I golug to he the most successful season lu all llneS^if business Oceau City has | ever experienced." A fortnight ago Mr. Slauton made a 1 Now he' comes along' with* facts 'aud pressed as bis oplutou at ibal lime. In speaking of condltlous as be finds tbem, be said: "Never have I seen City as Is the case tbls springy Our those made to tbe end" of April last year.- Up to tbe present time our those made to April 30 of last year aud still have more tbau two-thirds of April remaluiug. If tbe prbsent deson Why It should abate, we will have trebled our business lo tbe eud of April this year as compared wltb tbe "Another very Interesting feature lu connection Is tbe fact Ibal many 1 of those who are leasing properties will spend their first season id Ocean Tbls Is certainly a healthy gratulate ourselves as showing the growlqg -breadth of our resort. Another point tbat Is au Index of coudl Is that many persons who have rented In the past are this year leasing a higher grade cibbb of house. One instance tbat came lo my own ex per lence is (hat of a family who last year rented from us aud occupied a cottage which they paid (250. This year they have taken the Woodward bungalow, at Thirteenth si reel and Ocean sveuue, which rents for (1000 for tbe season. "I frankly believe practically all the bouses will be leased by about the middle of June, and-lhat by July 1 nothing will be available for reut. year we bad a cold, wet spring, which greatly retarded the renting of properties, but id July, wltb the cornof hot weather, tbe demand was so great that many persons paid as much a lease from the middle or latter part of July uutll the eud of the sea sou as Ibey would have paid for tlie property for tbe entire reason. "We also find a pretty active de maud from those who desire to buy property We closed two sales wltblu forty-eight baurs of each other and three or four more now uuder consideration. Tbls Is easily uoder- ; stood, however, as there are many very desirable properties lo Oceau City offered for sale at prices tbat put them In ibe bargain class wbeu compared wltb whet It would cost lo build today; a condition In tbe building field tbat no doubt will remalu lor (o come wltb the uncertainties created by Ibe war." - pupils debate iwteracholaellc Event Ip High [ The Interscholestlc debate between Ibe Oceau City High School and the Haddon Heights High School will take place lo tbe assembly room of Ibe local high school at 7.80 o'clock tomorrow evening.

This lias already been done lu practically all of Hie municipalities lu New Jersey, but such local muulclpal units are uot uniform throughout the State, lu some places are not t1ior> ougbly organized, and, in a few places, organizations have Dot been effected at all. Tbe plau of -the president of the UDlted States Is to bave absolutely municipality. Including townships, lu Hie entire United States, unl- . formly organized. Therefore, following thl* suggestion from Hie President, reque-t that, where such an orgaol-de-lgnsted as hereinafter provided and that, where no organization has been effected. It be organized forlliThe purpose Is to have In each locality a clearlog bouse to trauamlt promptly to all orgaulzed war actlvttie- In such locality the requests and : requirements of Ibe CouoclUof National Defense Ihrcugb the medium of the Slate I'ouucll of Defense. The Slate Council of Defense may also from time time request the local council of , defense lo undertake the organization i of new war activities and possibly to i perform other duties. Accordingly Ibe State Council of Defense requests that you organize as i promptly as possible lu your municipality a local coancll of defense with following titles: (Name of municipality) Council of Defense; with yoor- , self as Chief Executive, as chairman, r and with four or more additional members. If there are other war activities already organized In your commuulty, we recommend that y»u select llie chairmen of such organizations (or as maDy of tbem as you deem advi-able) lo constitute with yourself Hie member-hip of this proposed local council of defense. There would be objection If you wish to add a few cltizeu members. By this means, namely, having tbe chairmen of tbe existing organizations, - members of the local council of defense, yon will secure the co-operation . and quick actloD you desirePlease note, tbat tbe above does cot necessarily contemplate a new organ- . izailon In your municipality, but tbat fit yeur organization to this unl- ' form plan and adopt the uulform ; Your local coancll of defense will IbnSseive, tn addition tolls local fuoc " Hons, as a medium to gel luformatlou 1 quickly to you and your focal representatives in war -work from tbe State ' Council of Defense (which will bave , received such Information frimfc tbe Coancll of National Defense).
