KIDDIES' PLAYGROUND AT PARK PLACE- - ■ ^ --^7 — i i tt -r'Action of CoBimissioners Saves Kiddies' Playground BnnrdMalk Ordinance Passed on Second Readmit As Amended at Regular Meeting . >

i The ordinance introduced some time o I i ago. calling for the relocation of the f ! Boardwalk, passed on second reading- c i at Monday's meeting of the City Com- u ! mission. Before passing, however. It v ! was amended. The ordinance now . r ! provides Tor the rebuilding of the a Boardwalk from Second street to* ' Fourth street and the relocation from a Fourth street to a point opposite . Sixth street where it will take an 1 .'angle joining the present Boardwalk i ] at Doughty'* Pier. The section bo- < , tween Doughty'* Pier and Sixth street;' . will Is- 12 feet wide. From Sixth i t. street to Second street it will remain 1 s the present width of 32 f^t. , The ordinance as amended leaves i undisturbed the licach and Kiddies' I , play-ground at Park place. The resi- i n1 dents of that community protested i I vigorously against moving the Boaril- ■ p walk ocean ward at this point. . t c A new ordinance was introduced and i . passed on first reading to rebuild and I relocate the Boardwalk from Eighth . street to Tenth street. The landward n line of the Boardwalk will remain the ,f same, but there is a possibility, of i the oceanwanl line being moved out ; I 8 or 10 feet. In the opinion of the e I Commissioners, the Boardwalk be- „ tween Eighth and Tenth streets is r> not wide enough to efficiently carry e the increasing summer crowd*. t> Maurice Johnson, a Boardwalk #] property owner, appeared bewe thei g meeting and advocated the jjfcpiing

of 'the Boardwalk from 32 to 42 feet Sixth street to Second street, -claiming that the life of a boardwalk from 15 to 20 years and th: t*in a very short time the rolling ehgir. would make its appearance in Ocean City and 32 feet was entirely too narrow a walk to accommodate rolling chairs and pedestrians. A petition to place a light between Fourth and Fifth streets on Central : avenue was read at the meetjng, xign- : ed by the residents in that vicinity. : ; The petition was referred to the Highi way Commissioner with instructions i report at the next meeting. A petition, signed by 50, protesting ' against the removal of the Reading ' Railroad station at Seventh street was - also read. Mayor Champion, comI menting on this petition said there ■ was no foundation for the rumor that the station would tie moved and an I important matter of that kind would 1 to go before the Utility Commisi xion. There w as no Ranger of losing ' I the staffon unless the city took action. i and this the city had no thought of ' f doing. The petition was received and I filed. p A lengthy telegram was read from - John Vfenjey Morris, of Wilmington, s Del., relative, to the Boardwalk quesy tion.' He askeR the Commissioners to carefully consider the needs of the k community at Turk place before I hey e'tnok final action that would relocate ft g tlie. Boardwalk there.
