They j f 1 were to have abcoltite control of the i mueic and be permitted to raise money * toward It# cupporl through the cale of i ,-eason ticket#, advertisement" for the i program aud various me ana. • "Tbo city, on Its parte, was to turn I over to them the HOOO appropriated 1 for music, enlarge the inucic pavlltou,! to a Reeling capacity of at learn 2ikW i aud appoint a music coiumlsslou of 1 rive perilous, which, under the law# of ibe Btate, wa» made necessary in order to couduct bhslue«a. ••Before the agreement wan entered ( into, however, the mayor submttted the propowlttou to the Board of Trade, the Young Meu'e Progressive League iud all civic organizations of the city «nd received their endorsement of the plau. Then the City Commissioner# ilso autmttled to the voter* au ordinance to enlarge the music pavilion, which was carried by a good majority. "The argument advanced at the time was that we would all co-operate to make Ocean City a high-clan.- tuu steal center and at the «»nic time not increase the burden* of the taxpayer# but evcutually make It lluanclally self-supporting. "Now we come to the «juestlou of what has happened slucc that time that the mayor, representing the city, should be made the 'g^at' for all who have or imagine they have a grlev hue* or grouch concerning the music and why he is permitted to be rldt. culed and criticized without any defense being made by Ihe so-called music-lovers whose policies he has so loyally supported, or by those who sanctioned the plau aa outlined iu the beginning, when bta every .etlort has be-.*u consistently to make good the pledges made to the taxpayers— not only to promote better music, but nol to Increase financially tbetr burdens. '•The first season there waa a delicti of several hundred dollars, which tb< Boardwalk Business Men's Assocta tlon was compelled to meet. Thh evidently took some of the enthusiasm out of them, and they failed to cotn< forward with a renewal of their pro postllOD the following eeaaou. Whet It began to look as though the plat might have been discontinued, however, the ladles' music auxiliary an nonnced their desire to take over th< management of the music, with tin promise to carry oul the policies al ready established, one or which was t< have no deficit far the city to pay a ibe close of the season. This they un derlook In good fatlb, laboring uutel flshly and faltbfally, sacrificing that pleasure In other directions In their el forts to make their plans a success and yet, In spite of their efforts, whn ihe sessou closed there was a deficit- o several hundred dollars. "The mayor was made the 'goat because of the finauclal failure oftb plan. He had lost out with the must commissioners because he had uc erected a fence oo Ihelr pier early li the eeaaou to protect the entrances t ibe pavilion. Ha bad also lost ou with a large percentage of the publl for having erected a fence al all (tb president of tbo Ocean CHy Tax pay ers' League, for Instance). Bee th Philadelphia Evening Bulletin c January 7, 1921. ••Notwithstanding that, because i he many and repeated demandH fron Ocean City summer patrons (hun tU

Ireds of whose letter# are now ou file) for a continuance of tlie pish. In the U ipiril or giving II a fair chance the mayor recommended to the « it y <Vu» mlssluuer*. after again submitting »t to the civic organization# of the d> and having itirir endorsement, that the ladles ne given ybance U» profit by their ex per I sue- or Hie past season. ••Everything possible was doue that season to make I lie UlUsK' a success, but at the close of tlie season there f w a- a still greater delicti. , ••The time had come w hen u seeuicd j imperative to change the plau. * | mayor and the mu-ic oommissioiiars j |F had been making a careful aludy of the problem In other seashore report# j aud found that some of tliem had solved the problem satisfactorily. One resort in particular hail become fa J mous for lis good music, which had been made self-supporting and independent <>f any muuiclpal appropria lions. Tlieiafore, with the pledge to the Opean City taxpayers still in mind, to accomplish similar results in Ocean | City It was thought wise to adopt tin JL plan that had been successful In the — sister it-sort. Unfortunately for thai plau (which was t«> charge a nominal I admission fee), which would have worked hardship io no one. it met with ti st h lit opposition from many of J the ladies of the music auxiliary and 1 their frieuda, w ho uad been the most I enthusiastic and ardent supporter# of the mu-ic; and they arrayed themselves a* strongly agalusl tlie plau as they liad to favor of their own. wtlbl I the result that the plau wa« a com-l ! plete failure and the deficit at the clO#e I j of the season was giesier llisn evei.l leaving the mayor tlie target for cull- ' ctstD from more than one source. ••Last season the mayor had about 1 decided ttiat be had had enough of *= trying to as.-iet lu promoting good ,\ muatc lu Ocean ftty under Mich un- v favorable conditions, and tin- season I , he Is fully resolved that, unless the so- 1 raited music-lovers of Ocean City rally I - their force# and come forward before ^ M»y 1 with a well-defined plan to pro- 1 ^ liote and finance the cost of the music I -j with the help of the annual appropria- t . tlon, guaranteeing the city against any ^ possible deficit, he will recommend 5 • that the city employ such music at the I V appropriation will secure and make ill i r free for all. I « » "It Is only fair lu closing to say that I , , tlie civic organizations, the City Com- 1 ; ;> mlaaioners and many others w ho en- 1 ^ dorsed the mayor's recommendations « from time to time stood loyally back I j il of his efforts to make good the pledges! j • to the taxpayers to the last, and he J .
