E Rrt erring lo the large attendance at e the banquet, there being about fifty's Members of the Chamber present, Mr. { Stanton said that if an attendance of that si t enet li could be had at the us- v uat business sessions much could be i| accomplished for the city, liu: for « some reason the Chamber had not v oecuidcd the iHisition it should. r He said lie had tried to study this a condition from various angles. Whc- j ther the town was over organized, j f having its Young Men's Progressive t j League. Its Klwanis Club. Its Masonic lodge nmMJw Ited Men's order. It wat. , difficult -do say. But the Chamber ol hading business oiganlzatlon or the , cl-.y and one wbos# teeommondallons should always carry weight. What It , ii.cded was Its members lo lay aside ^ apathy and attend tts meetings. It is ( issenllal that there should b*a full gathering and wide discussion of built- 1 n- Mi problems which the city faros in ' order lo reach their successful solo- .

In accepting the ; <■ honor Mr. Sutton delivered a rigorous, n straight yfrom the shoulder address, appealing Tor the support of the mem0 berslAp to the limit. Without it. m- »- said, the honor was a meaningless one n that lie was willing lo forego it. e of the Chamber. Increased activity '' and Interest in Its problems and its work were essential to the very life of the organization, without which Its "• existence was but a shadow. The abolition of tolls on the Ocean City ' | Automobile Bridge and the opening c- j up and completion or a rail link eond : ncctlng Ocean City by the shortest Is [ route with the tracks of the Pennsylt- I vanla Railroad direct line to Atlantic in city were the keynotes of Mr. Sut- »» I ton's address.

"I know of financial Interests today prepared and willing lo take the enIssue of bonds for the construction of Ibis connecting road." said Mr. Sutton. "What It needs is this body to gel hack of It and give all of Its : energy la the project. It can. be done. vwih 1 y "IN ■■ • -- — —

ROWLAND ABANDONS BOARDWALK FIGHT Wish to Obsruct Public Improvements, He Tells Commissioners W'hile still in the belief that his objection to the proposed relocation of the boardwalk as provided in- the existing ordinance was for the best Interest of Ocean City ami its p>opert> owners; Joseph M. Rowland has .voluntarily withdrawn the legal proceeding# which he instlgatd to enjoin the execution of the city plan. > This fact was communicated to ' Mayor Champion anil the Commission,evs at their regular weekly meeting Monday. Mr. Rowland disclaimed any motive to obstruct a public improvement or to reflect upon the judgment of any city official. The plan provided ivin the ordinance approve.) by the com- ; missioners for the rebuilding between • Second and Fourth streets, the reloI cation betweefi Fourth arid Eighth, and tjie widening and relocation between - Eighth quid Tenth streets will now • be carried into effect. Mr. Rowland in his letter to the " commissioners, which was received ' and filed, said: - 1 "The Hon. Joseph G. Champion anil ■ City Commissioners, Ocean City, N.J. r Gentlemen: It has come to my attention that ii the attitude that I have taken re It garding the proposer! moving, of the present boardwalk has caused severe criticism on the part of numerous citizens of this cify. in fnc' one of the local newspapers lias gone so far us to question my motive and I am accused offallowing my personal interJ; est to hamper important and neces1 snry public improvements. I deeply regret, and am at a loss t< understand how anyone, knowing ra: p personally, and licing familiar wit! inyrintcrests in this city, both in tin past and in the present, who is trul; interested in the progress of Ocoat |d City should make a statement of thi: character without first making I ith

A thorough examination of tha existi"| ,e condition, and 1 desire atf^Hs: timf j, a« a public spirited taxpayer, to plac , myself on record by making a publi ' statement that I believe will justify m; position. Sly action regarding the Iwardwal! . was in no way intended to hamper o ^ ' obstruct a public improvement, or t lf reflect upon the integrity or hones 1(. judgment of any city official and whil „i I still feel and maintain that my oli Ii jection regarding the present propose relocation boardwalk plans are we' y, taken and for the best interest of thi city, however, in view of the apparer public demand for the present plan, ' have instructed my attorneys to inmediately discontinue any future a< 11 tion in the matter, n- Contrary to accusation that 1 ai A seeking to prevent an improvement I the present boardwalk, my contentio p-- is that the present plan is not suff cient to show an improvement an that it is my suggestion that the et ire tire boardwalk lie relocated froi ici Pennlyn ptoce to Tenth street, and i ng support of my suggestion I am sul *c mitting herewith a photograph tak. sh. from an airplane on January 10, 192 •ai at low water showing the exact coi ite ditions of our beach front, ami not. thereon the relocation line I suggei Realizing that an extensive ir provement such as I suggest could n un be completed by this coming scasa E,d that pending the careful considerate lrs of my plan that the commissione lhc with due caution shall proceed wi tpr whatever work or changes they co *!n aider necessary for the best inter, ' of the city, with the thought in mi nK and so arrange to meet a more eztt meet exten-

Flan if adopted later on. I further realize that my suggested * relocation will no doubt, meet with opposition on the part of a fewboardwalk front property owners, but we must call their attention to the fact that when they purchase boardwalk front property they did so subject to the city's easement deed, and they should be prepared and willing to move their buildings and not stand in the way of public improvement. I might say at this time that I am ' yitally interested as I am an owner of approximately cfght hundred and fifty , feet of boardwalk frontage, and should my proposed relocation plan be adopt- \ oil 1 would personally have to more two large buildings, or about one -hun- . dred and fifty feet, placing upon me a burden as great as upon aqy other one. boardwalk front owner, j To any one -who believes my motive . to be the control of the motion picture situation on the boardwalk, an investigation will show that the two theatres. it is reported 1 am trying to se- . cure, are now and have for some time been un.ler lease to other parties with ' whom I have not the slightest interest, ^ whatsoever.

LEAGUE MEN URGED • TO ATTEND BANQUET n ; k <> i X 1- Many Will Join Ranks of » ® Boosters on Special a >•! Train Feb. 9 <i ! C ] t Ocean City was called on for a^tlg ' man l>ower representation on the trip lo the "boosters" banquet at thel ' Manufacturers' Club irv Philadelphia. 1 . Feb! usry 9, under the auspices of the ' ■ | Kiwanis Club and other virile busi- 1 H ness organizations of the city. The < call was sounded in vigorous notes by 1 Edward M. Sutton af Monday night's < session of the Young Men's Progres- ' slve League.

A special train will carry the aggre- 1 gallon to Philadelphia, leaving Ocean City at 2.30 on the afternoon ot the banquet celebration. The event [calls for the co-operation of every booster In Ocean City. "We are going to be measured by ; ,he force we show in numbers," said Mr. Sutton. We have never done things by halve*. Let Ocean City unfurl its flag at the front with a good strong turnout, because the Pathe feature cameras are going to be on hand waiting to focus us at both' the departure and arrival. Let's pull J and all go." ana an go.

The appeal met with a favorable re sponse. j "Ocean City boosters should never'; ! neglect the chance to do everything;' Ocean yity." said Elmer Jackson , • . Pearl, president of the Ix-ague. "We j 1 are going to parade when we leave j 1 ' the train and we want those news j [ fllins to show us up right. We want • ■ go on record as offering every pos- ' ■ible co-operation to the Klwenls Club." The subject of support of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce came up 1 sharp discussion. Some criticism! ■ of the amount of annual dues led to , an expression of views from opposite ' angle*. President E. J. Pearl, from > the chair, instanced the case of the i membership drive of the Wlldwood Chamber of Commerce, where the an- . nasi dues are $2G as compared with 1 $2" In the Ocean City chamber. ' "The fly thus far has resulted in 19F annual memberships and the tllti- - mate goal is 250." said Mr. Pearl.
