s SAYS PEOPLE WANT ORCHESTRA . I I C. A. Frost, Boardwalk Business Man, Has Strong Views on Music. Charle* A Frost, of Camden, an 5 Ocean City Boardwalk busiue-* man for many years, writes the tiKNTINKL 1 as follows: I am iusplred by the Philadelphia Orchestra camiiSlKU f.-r the fl 000 000 maintenance fund to aridrees the public lu Ocean. City, through these coluuiui, ou the matter of uiu*tc for next ►eat-on. and ask the qoe-liou of them, ••what will be done snout 11?" We tried out the baud before we had au orchestra, aud tried it out since. It has never been a success, and, 1 prophesy, It never will be. People who own properly In Ocean City, and who are doing btmlhe* there, should see to It that all possible pub I Icity for the towu is ohtaiued, aud no greater means Is available than having the Philadelphia Orchestra member* playing concerts, for us during the summer months. Cau yuu Imagine anyone rejecting auch a proposition If they have carefully considered that these men are members of an organization which is the greatest In the world? What person lu the city would uut be willing to pay one mill on every hundred dollars they are taxed for the sake of bringing back to them ten mills and yet providing euterlaiumeut for themselves? i It was experienced iu one of the mass meetings lo Ocean City that men who were not wllliug to pay an admission 1 fee to the music pier were willing to contribute flOO for the support of the music. It is the principle of golug backward that the taxpayers of Ocean , City seem to oppose. i suggest that the people of Ocean City write to the city administration ' telling them that we want the orchestra back next year, aud we want coucerte free.
