COUNTY FREEHOLDERS1 ENDORSE BEASLEYS POINI BRIDGE [ji rector Champion Presenti a KcMilutlon, For Complete Highway Through County The oBard of Chosen Freehollers at their meeting held on Wednesday afternoon went on rec- ' mil unanimously endorsing the establishment of a new highway route, to l« known as Route 18. ■ The new route will include the building of a bridge over Great , Kgg Harbor, and will form a direct , communication from Hahway to j Cape May. Director Joseph G. Champion | presented the resolution, which , read as follows: I I to solved, That the Senate and i General Assembly of the State of New Jersey. Ire and are hereby re- . ijuested to enact a law (Senate Bill j No. 85. Introduced by Senator , Bright, January 15, 1923. Refer- f red to Committee on Highways.) , • •• An Act to amend an act en- s * ' ' "An Act to establish' a State Highway System and to u provide for the improvement, bet- ) torment, reconstruction, resurfac- h ing. maintenance, repair and regu- ), lation of the use thereof,'' approved March 13th, 1917, approved v April 5th, 1921. j-S-r that the State Hikhway Com- e mission, shall as soon as p recti c- tl able lay out as an addition to the > routes for a State Highway Sys-'p tern a Route to be known as Route si No. 19. From a point on Route b No. 14 at Seaville by way of Palermo, Marmora. Beesley's Point, P Somer's Point to Pleasantville and w connecting with Route No. 4 at a' Absecon. And for the erection w and construction of a "Bridge" ol over and across Great Egg Harbor T Bay or River, from Somer's Point al to Beesley's P&qt. Thus provid- I] ing a complete Higtovay System from Rahway, to Gttpe May City, ! S connecting with the Ferry at Cape t) May City across Delaware Bay to'.br Lewes, Del. Resolved, That a copy of the ! D above Resolution, be certified and ti sent to the Senate ami General p Assembly of the State of New Jer-;w sey und a certified copy be sent j A to the Senator and Assemblyman ' w

5 from Cape May County. | The importance of this new' route, and its value to the county cannot be overestimated. The project has the unqualified endorsement of the Cape May City Commissioners. the County Chamber of Commerce, the Wildwood Board of City Commissioners and Board of Trade, the Ocean iCt'y Chamber of Commerce, and various other civic organizations. Prominent' citizens and public H leaders from various parts of the " county were present, and spoke in favor of the resolution, among r them being Anthony B. Smith, and y Mayor "Courtright Smith of Wild- !- wood. e Mayor Smith was very emphatic ' in his endorsement of the measure, t especially of the part providing for ' the bridge across the Harbor. He also stated he had learned 1 that Senator Walworth was intro1 during a bill which if passed would provide for a direct route through I Ouan City. Director Champion protested : gainst the assumption that his 1 as a member of the Board ' of Freeholders were centered se.l- ' fishly In Ocean City. "I am rep-' resenting Cape May County," he ; said, "and not only Ocean City." The County needed every avenue ' of communication it could secure. r. Champion stated further that ' knew nothing of the proposed I highway through Ocean City. ! "There seems to be an idea pre- I vailing, '• said Director Champion, ' "that no benefit can come to this t end of the county which passes i i Ocean City. Ocean City is'f supporting the Beesley's Point' J proposition, and if it matures, the ' southern part of the county will t as much as Ocean City. }'« Miss Mabel Clay, of Beesley's a and a county committee- t supported the resolution I stating that any movements s which would increase the avenues c of communication with Upper a would increase the tax- 'a able valuation of the entire eoun- ( v j 1 County Engineer R. Fendall K .Smith, reported that all work on jo Anglesea-Burleigh Road, had h been suspended. jt A resolution was submitted by t Kay granting the con- j a the Hill Dredging Com-^o an extension of time, the b work to be completed by July 1st. b , According to the original plans the 1 « work should have been completed t s

| by July 1921, but extensions have' w been granted the last of which ex- j ty pi red in June 1922. 0- Acording to the Engineer's ree- port, practically 80 per cent of the a- work has been covered. af The County Engineer further re'f ported that the paving of Beach >f . Drive had been suspended awaiting! >f more favorable weather conditions, ic Director Kay submitted a resolution excusing the contractor, WIIc 11am Eisenberg of Woodbine, from le resuming operations until notified n by the Engineer, g One tende»»was received in red sponse to the Board's advertise1- ment for cinders— Earl M. Waih dington. ic Plans and specifications for the s, erection of a bridge across Sunset r Lake into West Wildwood, to cost approximately $30,000 were subd mitted and approved, and authority r was grante<l to float a bond issue d to finance the project. Bids for h the construction of the bridge are to l>e received on March 77th. d 0 ■ FROM PEN OF j1 MBS. U. CLARK (Continued from Page 4.) I' t and a long cherished dream never j 1 realized. ! I found the police officers (Bob- 1 1 - by's as they are called) much more] I , sociable than ever before. I- used 1 1 I feel just chilled through, when j ' I asking information, 1 used to j ■ i| get quickly muttered words and' t icy glare. This time however, ! • several of them unbended and ac-( I tually smiled at me. My! how|f 'grateful I felt, but curious also, c i and when one Bobby said as I hesi- • 'tated, "is "there anything more: i lady." I said, "yes, there is, it, i seems just blessed to see you mem j : down from your pedestals and really smile and act glad to be 'I to give information and 1 just 1 want to tell you so, and how much J appreciate it. Just keep the good work up." Then I hustled hut soon turned around, and he was still smiling after me, and. the thought came, what an easy to speak the pleasant words/ [and give the kindly smile, if we C , only form the habit. Let's get for we truly "pass this way once," as the song tells us, and 'we can never know how these lit- j tie things may warm and cheer; t ~

■ejthe heart of some po-r discourag- 1 1 c- 1 ed soul. I know that cold rainy morning; e- , und a'l through the clay I felt 1 ie cheered. I never will forget, when my e- . father was pastor of Pitman" M. , hlE. Church, New Brunswick, and I glwus a little girl, that at the res. ception one of the trustees canto >-'to my father and said, "Now I-1 Brother Heisley we have a nice | n , bunch of people in our church, but , d | look out for brother A. He's ( ; mighty good at heart and gives , *-j liberally, but when he has indiges-t-jtion, he's an awful grouch and , 1- i will only grunt when you meet him t | anywhere, so think nothing of it." j e Years have passed, but since it then when 1 meet people who pass ^ •t me with barely mumhled words, ( i- often without a smile, as if their , y facial muscles were not in good , e working order, 1 wonder if they r like "brother A" — have indigestion, e 'Well, I have digressed fearfully ' from my subject, which is Ixmdon, * also my letter grows long, so will * close nnd write again next week.
