A GOOD BEGINNING When this dty was plannetl in 1875" it was the intention that West avenue, with a width of one hundred feet, should develop into the ci£'.« busi- ] tteas thoroughfare. In those days transportation to and from this new resort was quite diffi- f cult and it was a number of years thereafter before the first railroad was built from Sea Isle Junction up West I avenue into this city. This will be long remembered by j those present as it marked the begin- ' ning of the first healthy stride of the | city toward success. This was only ac- 1 complished after much hard work, ex- ! penditure of money and many con- 1 cessions on the part of the founders.) The greatest loss to the dty, however, j was the surrender of its widest boule- j vard for railroad purposes. This : forced general business houses one!' block eastward to a residence avenue | and- thirty-five feet narrower. WhOe It has been apparent for many years that Asbury avenue, sooner or later, must be widened, this necessity did not arise until a few 1 years ago. The tremendous growth j of the dty and the general use and j popularity of automobiles and trucks ' for all purposes has forced on the j dty a traffic problem on its principal " business nvetttia rlifRmll ia mIwa i business avenue difficult solve. .

The purpose of the city to widen 1 this thoroughfare from curb to curb , seems to meet with general approval | and it is hoped that, at thesnme time, a new arid suffident lighting plan will ' be evolved, with underground' wires. 1 which will give a uniform and general illumination to our business avenue on a par with the proa*S*r>r the entire dty. * t While it is regretted this improve- f ment is only to be made at the present j time from Sixth to Tenth streets we , feel it is a step in the right direction ] and a good beginning. I Ft LL CREW LAW - — — t Railroads Executive Committee Give a ' Few Statistics ' In connection with the action being " taken by the various state legislature . s toward repealipg excess crew laws in ' New York, New Jersey and Maryland, , the executive committee of the associated railroads in this territory authorizes the following: The action taken by the Maryland j £ State Senate in voting to do nwav with the excess crew law should meet with hearty public accord. By a vote } •of 19 to 7 the Senate has adopted a £ repeal measure which requires that trains he properly manned for safe and effident operation without burden- j ing the' railroads and the public with J unnecessary operating expense. The action of the Maryland Senate t follows the repeal last year of the v Pennsylvania State execs- crew law. 0 Similar measures looking to the repeal f at like legislation are pending in the t state legislatures of New Jersey and r New York. In New Jersey the bill j has been reported favorably by the i Judiciary Committee of the Senate t and is at the present time on the sen- j ate calendar. In New York the ex- c cess crew repealer has lieen Intro- * duced and has already been discussed i before the Committee on Public Serv- c to. In the interest of redudng the cost ® of railroad operation in order that transportation rates may he lowered, it is of vtial importance to the public 3 that such unnecessary and restrictive I legislation a ; these excess crew laws <! be repealed.

1 COUNTY BANKERS HELD MEETING HERE HeardjrfnWesting Talks by Albert X. Hogg: and Geo. H. Knowles I ' "Proper legislature. a campaign of s education, ■ ami publicity are ways to o keep the bogus stock promoter out of I i. your county," declared Albert N. c Wee president of the Corn Ex- |i change National Bank of Philadelphia, ii addressing the Cape Maj County Ii | Bankers' Association at City Hall last c evening. Mr. Hogg .gave p somewhat of a review of bogus stock w j operation's and operators. At the pre.- C lent time there are 480 bogus stock cases in the Federal Courts. He ad- w ; vacated the use of billboard publicity ci carryingthc slogan "investigate B»- ci fore You invest." ,s(

The hankers , I will W as-istMWn this campaign by ; I the Cape Max tounty Chamber of Commerce. £ , >i How the banks can assist in the dei velopment of rural Cape May County , was told by George H.

There J , are many in the cities who want good . j farms. Help the farmer to make a , longer season. Mr. Knowles. in closing his address, made the statement that the conditions in Cape May CounMy would make for a poultry center that could beat Vineland. Cape May • (Jounty could well lie the White 1.egl hom center of the world. W. Elmer Brown, vice president of | the Atlantic County Bar Association, spoke on the human element in busi- ■ j ness. Mr. Brown, in summing up. said ' that after all, it is not the large piiI lars in front of the liank, or the steel j deposit boxes and safety vault with its electrical contrivances, that makes the j stability of the banking institution, it is the honesty and integrity of ' j the clerk. o , W.

Ibis mandatory waste, the railroads' will be enabled to cut down the cost of operation which must naturally lie reflected in transportation charges. That i the managers of the various railroads lie relied upon to man trains properly is Indicated by the fact that the State of Pennsylvania where ' the cxceas crew law was repealed last year, there is not one complaint on the docket of the Public Service Commission which now has jurisdiction in the matter. In Indiana where the socalled full crew law wiy. jfpealed a year ago no complaint liaHSen lodged against the railroads affected.

i TALKS OF (OAST GUARDS Surgeon Wlllets P. Haines, now a I resident physician here, hut formerly " of the Coast Guard Service, and a-- ' signed the Cutter Seneca, tells ninny ' interesting stories of the service. The 1 r following is a story of a Const Gflard i Station on the Groat Lakpr. , Last January, the Officer in Charge j of Station No. 235 received informal ( ' . tion that there were 21 fishermen I trapped on drifting ice off Wog iMffwri : Renrh W A/ul la\r. .. : ._i_ . I '• Woodtawn Bc^gff^ns eight '

'"miles trbnCInc Station, and realizing i It that it would have taken at least four • hours to reach the fishermen by pull- - ing the ice skiff over the ice, the of- ; I ficer employed a truck and crew to 1 convey the ice skiff to Woodlawn ( | ? Beach. The crew of the ice skiff pull- | I e<l over the solid ice dntil they came 1 1 to open water, which was aiiout six H - miles from the shore. The ice was ' very rough and high in places making | ■ it extremely difficult to get the iee | f skiff over. Upon arriving at the edge ■ I ' of the ice pack it was found there were | - about two miles of open water be- 0 I tween the solid ice and the drifting ice | ' : on which the men were marooned. The | , skiff was put in the water and Chief I ■ Boatswain's Mate Daly and temporary j! I Surfman Jensen pulled over to the fishermen. Arriving at the drifting ice on which the men were stranded it was found that there were twenty-one men anil two dogs. Three trips wenmade getting this party back to the solid ice. This took about two hours. • the last trip being made in the dark. Had it not been for the prompt and efficient action of the crew of Station No. 235, the men who were stranded on the ice would have undoubtedly lost their lives, as the ice was drifting up ; the lake and the temperature was 'down around zero. They would have frozen to death or would have been drowned within a few hours. Send those little personals about . your friends, the family yourself, to the Sentinel, but be sure to get them to the office not later than Tuesday noon.

Looking through an old Bell Directory is as interesting as rummaging through grandmother's trunk, in the attic. it is a good way to check up on the progress of the | community. It is surprising to find how often the first users of the telephone were the men of vision who later > developed into leaders in their respective fields. ' The first telephone directory was merely a sheet I of paper with the names of about a dozen subscribers. In most cases no numbers were printed in the directory , and calls were made by name. You simply said to the r operator "Get me Mrs. Jones." livery new telephone directory is a new footprint in the path of progress. The extension of the service and your increasing dependence on this means of communication is a tribute to the performance of the Bell * \. ^ Telephone System in the past. ^ New problems of operation and management dc- - velop as fast as the old ones are solved, but wc have faith in our ability to meet the demands^ of each new era as wc have met those of the past. - And wc have the benefit of the experience of others | who arc working on similar problems in other parts of the Bell System. 1 HE DELAWARE & ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH & TELEPHONE CO. » W. 8R1TTA1N Di.trict
