LEAGUE DISCUSSES " BRIDGE QUESTION i Committee of Five Appointed to ro to Trenton. — Superintendent Present JA A free toll bridge was the chicT i ! topic of conversation at the regular meeting of the Young Men's Progres- j . sive League Monday night. The thought expressed was that if the j ; bridge were to be free from toll some ^ concerted action w as necessary on the ( part of the rcsi-'ents of Ocean City. ^ A motion was made that a committee t of five to be appointed to form a delegation to go to Trenton, the committee . of five to represent the league in the J i delegation. Acting President Tcarl , - j referred this to the League's Trans- * i portation Committee which is com- ■ posed of C. Homer Shoemaker. Dr. ' , WillMs P. Haynes, Alfred Powell, An- : drew C. Boswell anir Ralph Van ' 1 Gilder. " Mr. E. A. MacMillan, Assistant Su- ' 5 j iierintendent of the Atlantic City and Railway Company, who was1] L presnt, was calld upon by Prsident Pearl. Mr. MacMillan stated that it ' " j was a pleasure to have had the privilege of meeting with the Progrssive 10 : I.eague. In fact he could now be coni sidcred n permanent resiilnt of Ocean •;!ciu. f" His company felt that some atten- " : tinn should lie shown to Ocean City ' ! for if it were not for Ocean City there " ) would be no need of the railroaiLi c' ! and, on the. other hr.ml, if there w e^yf n no railroad it might make a difference " ! to Ocean City. "Therefore," continued ! Mr. MacMillan. "Anything that works 1 ; for the good of Ocean City" works for' j the good of the railroad also, and j l we should work shoulder to shoulder, ' * i and we want to work shoulder to shoulder with you." D" . Mr. MacMillan later remarked that c possibly, the I.cague would be interested In having him talk to them ' ' at some later date. He had some ex- : periences that might prove interest'"it. for instance — the year 1920 ho 1 spent In jail in Russia, a prisoner of 'the Bolshevik. The Atlantic City and Shore Railroad Company feel by having Mr. tj MacMillan reside In Ocean City they • can keep in closer touch with the need* of the <;ity from time to time. ^ * s
