Since the meeting ai Mr .;acon » cottage, il had been decided !.y a number of the property owner* front out of town lo form a protective iHaoriation. or home owners' aiwocla non. lo co-operate with the city euliorltiea. and thu« help all Interested in the pngnfel and succera of Ocean city. In the Oral place, he said, they want to see about the proposition to -♦•II a portion of the old camp ground*, tud they want to know the views of i he taxpayers, whether they are for or against the wile Several have a*ked him. the speaker Mated. Just what la hi lie sold. Mr. Harr referred briefly to a pari .if the old history of the camp ground plot. Dr. Kynett. an old member of the ocean CHy Association. *|H>ke of the public dedication of the camp grounds, .md thl* Is the reason the association was unable to sell. He said thai he does not believe the city baa the right u» sell. He said that he thought that. . ven If the voters decide In favor of selling the ground. Injunction proceedings could slop i lie sale. Thomas R. Fort declared that he was ;♦ mazed when he heard of the proposed vale. He regards It as a foolish and . ven infamous piece of business The matter of the possible reduction of i axes by such rale Is of too little conequenc* to be considered. It ii a t*auty spot of Ocean City, and we want lo let It alone, except to All It in and make It something to he proud of. lie said that he cannot conceive of thf purpose in l he minds of people In abusing the confidence of the peoplt in this matter. Chas. 8. Wood, of Philadelphia, whe lins been a summer resident of Oeear CHy for many year*, rather hluntlj » staled that he hasn't a hit of confl dence in the vote of the people o' , Ocean City. The men at this meetlnj are not Interested In the vote of Oceai CHy except to stop the rale of thi grounds. The city acquired the lam by condemnation proceedings. If I f does not wani the land for public ua« I 11 must lie returned. The act by whlcl the land was taken over by the fit: nays that the grounds must he use for park purpose* If the plan Is t sell It, the taxpayers will take It Ini the Chancery Court The rale can h slopped and II Is the duty of the pe< | pie who glory in Ocean City to stop I It was a happy thought. In the opinio of Mr Wood, that brought these tai l»ayer* together. Mr. Harr stated that he has bee told that the Injunction against tl • (Venn CHy Association has never bee quashed |. Mr. Wood said thai. In his opinio y the condemnation proceedings clean* up that matter Mr nyram said that a playground the heart's desire of all the peopl i* and we must protect It. The only wi ,f to do this Is to form the Ocean Cll [j Protective Association not to fight tl •r public authorities, hut to eo-opere »r m upholding the laws of the city *r j' uet quick action In matters of th kind Organlie an<J employ count* r. have meeting* here tn June.
