R. W. Edwards Representing Commerce Chamber Request Solons To Improve Streets

M \\OK JOSEPH G. CHAMPION FAVORS THE SUGGESTED PLAN PROVIDING COMMISSIONERS ARE ASSURED PROPERTY OWNERS WILL AGREE— LITTLE DONE BEFORE SPRING

r, w. Edward*, representing the local Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the Board of City foininissioncr.s at their last meeti, p held on Monday, and preM ,,i. I a strong plea f r hurd-sur-rtM streets. Referring to the . »tg of the Chamber in quesand the discussion which le«l „ , i the petition he was there to M ni t » the Commissioners, Mr. towards raid it was the consensus t)f . ini o that the one thing Ocean Cit\ . move than another — the nu:j<» n^eil was a hard-surface ... It, <»'4 streets- Compared with (t!',n in ... its. Ocean City lagged j t, y I ell vd i. thi.- re -poet. t Soi lUir Andrew C. Boswell j v piv»«e.nt at the meeting, Mr.j K<nv:;ids went on to explain, and. he. in behalf of the Commissioners, hail explained how the building of the iew- High School had practically exhausted the city's bonding capacity for the year. The meeting. after the Solicitor had explained the situation, fully understood and appreciated the position iR which the Commissioners were placed.

Notwithstanding, no deeply were tin4 members of the Chamber of Commerce impressed with the urgent necessity of the city entering upon a constructive and comprehensive program of street improvement. if it was to keep pace with other resorts, the Chamber •cut on record unanimously favoring the authorities assessing the property owners benefited by the improvements to the full cost of

construction. For that purpose, he ■ as present and appearing before ' the Commissioners, Said Mr. Ed- ! wards. He hail been appointed as ; one «•!* a committee of three to acquaint the Board of the sentiment ' and decision of the Chamber of Commerce and urge them to begin ( the work at once. Mr. Edwards further assured the Commissioners ; that the Chamber of Commerce would support them in the face of all opposition and criticism, Whereupon Director Campbell desired to learn from Mr. Edwafids, if he was to understand that the Chamber of Commerce was in favor of establishing a new precedent In their suggestion. In the past, the city had defrayed all cost or part in street improvements. Did the Chamber wish that in future the property owners should defray all cost? _

Mr. Edwards replied in the negative. The plan had been suggested to meet an emergency, inasmuch as the city had no available funds, or the legal power to raise funds. Mayor Champion essayed to explain at length the position ami! sentiment of the Commissioners, j He challenged any person to infer even, that the Commissioners had; by word or act failed in their dutyi to the city, as far as it had lain in j their power. He favored hard-sur- 1 fa cd streets. The Commissionersyielded to no man in realizing; their need. But they had been hampred through lack of funds. Before the Board could begin orr comprehensive program of street! t improvement, the Mayor continued,) the drainage system had to be de-j icded upon. That would require the] engaging of an expert drainage engineer. This could not be done, before the Commissioners had madean appropriation to meet the expense. j

The Mayor doubted, very much,! whether the work of the consulting engineer could be completed in time to begin any program of hard-sur-facing before the summer visitors began to arrive. Upon one thing the public could be assured ; as soon as the appropriation has been made, a drainage survey would be made. Mayor Champion expressed himself somewhat skeptical regarding ] the suggestion of the Chamber of ] Commerce upon the question of • assessments.

"It is one thing to get people to vote in favor of some improvement in a public meeting," said he; "but it is quite another to find them willing to pay when payment is due. 1 question whether you will find the porperty owners willing to pay the entire cost, as suggested. The Commissioners cannot proceed on a mere assumption, they must have more security than the holding up of the hand in a public meeting." "However, if the Chamber of Commerce can bring influence to bear upon the public," said the Mayor, "to the end that property owners will give the Commissioners a "clear understanding that they are prepared to meet the assessment for the entire cost of paving the streets, or any portion of them, then the municipal body will proceed without a moment's delay."

DRAMATIC LIFE OF ZAZA THE ELUSIVE A! STRAND THEATRE

PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES BILL OF REAL ARTISTIC VAUDEVILLE

For a century or more past, the dramatic Incidents associated with the life of "Zaza" have tested the genius of the world's greatest PjjJY" writers, and masters of opera. The child of obscure parents, a gamin of the streets , but endowed by nature with form and features of ravishing beauty, Zaza rose to be the Queen of Gay Paree, the idol of royalty, and paupers alike. Elusive to the highest degree, temperamental and erratic, /aza embodied in her own unique personality all the undefinable and ob--tru.se qualities of the female mind and character.

The life of Zaza, however, pre>entn a moral as high and worthy of emulation as any preached from pulpit or platform. Despite her In- ' herded weaknesses, the demoralizing effect of heT nut-founding*, the temptations which beset the path of a beautiful woman, Zaza proves that in all creature# there are infinite possibilities for good if rightly developed. When the crisi* came, Zaza proved herself capable Of a great, pure, love, and of making heroic sacrifice* for her love. Sr.ra Bernhardt, Calve, RftjwjJ. and Ferrnr have all attempted the rn|r of Znza, both upon the legitimate stage and in opera.

In addition to this wonderful picturn wonderfully produced,. a splendid program of refined and artistic vaudeville will be given on SatThe singing of the Adelphl ' Quartette last StftUiday was a triumph Slid fully justified the gvnerous applause of a full house. The coming Saturday's program, * though 01 A different character, will be equal sftgftdard of excellence.

Upon the second floor, which is unoccupied at the present time, the mysterious boarder spent the] j night in slumber and dreams.

Nothing remained by means of • which the unknown lodger can he identified. 1

GIRL SCOUTS ARE GUESTS OF HONOR AT KIWANIS CLUB

CAPT. EDITH M AC GREGOR EXPLAINS PRINCIPLES' . UK THE SCOUTS

The dining loom of the Biscayne Hotel presented an unusually animated scene on Wednesday noon, as the members of the Kiwania Club marched in, each escorting a young lady. The guests constitute the member of Troop No. 1 of the Girl Scruts, the most recent orj ganizattion formed in the city. President M. B. Stnnnard wel- ; < omed tho young ladies, assuring j j them of the hearty co-operation of the Kiwanis Club. He desired them1 to look upon each Kiwunian as aj "big brother," ready to assist them j in any movement for the young! maidens of the city. Miss Edith MacGregor, of the; Imperial Hotel, who has boon! elected captain of the troop, wns j i called upon !o address the club !

'Miss MacGregor responded and* gave a very concise summary oft the work and the aspirations of the Girl Scout movement. She explained that already thirty-five girls have registered their intentions of joining the local troop. The motto of the movement was, "Be Prepared," one closely akin in principle to the slogan of Kiwanis, said the speaker, which is, "Wei Build." The Girl Scout movement aimed to do for the girls of the nation what the Boy Scouts hail done for their brothers, build up moral character, and a strong healthy physique. "This is not the first time attempts have been made to organize Girl Scout work in this city," said Miss MacGregor. "All past efforts failed, however, as this will fail, unless wc receive the support of such organizations as the Kiwanis Club." The young ladies abandoned themselves admirably to the pleasures of the hour, joining heartily in the singing, under the direction of Song Leader William H. Collisjson, Jr. The chief speaker of the day was } Dr. Cressman, Superintendent of Public Schools for Atlantic County. As might have been expected from a prominent schoolman, Dr. Cressman's address was upon education. In a masterly and convincing way he traced the influence of the public schools in the development of the American nation, as compared with the systems of education practiced among other nations of -the world. The American school aimed to

produce from the boy and girl ' something more than merely a scholar, he said. It aimed to develop reliability, adaptability, and I efficiency. Reliability, the speaker i defined as the very foundation of good citizenship, and was in his ! judgment of more vital importance i even than efficiency. Attendance prizes fell on Wednesday to the lot of George D. ■ Richards, and Carl Kelk, both of ' whom received very useful gifts. * .. ■ i ' Mrs. Catherine Johnson, of Bed Bank, is n visitor to town, the , guest of her son, James E. Johnson, i>03 Brighton Place. ;

final report of carnival!' I « SHOWS SMALL BALANCE Ji LEFT OVER ■ 1 i ————— •

. j 2 At the meeting of the Young Men's Progressive I^eaguc, hold on j Monday evening, the executive com- , mittce reported they had succeeded j . in securing a steward and stewardess to assume charge or the League \ Home. President A. K. Smith announced 1 that Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Datmelly < ; had offered their service*, at a rate . , of remuneration whicFTwas burpris- ] i i inglv small. < The League members unani- 1 ' mously decided to avail themselves « J of Mr. and Mrs. Dan nelly's offer, ' land empowered the president and < vice-president to arrange all par- ' ticulars relative to the work. I Dr. J. Thornley Hughes, as rhairof the Finance Committee, submituf Jfitg final report on the

'Hallowe'en Carnival. After all 1 hills had been met, the report showed that a small balance remained in the treasury. Tho committee report was ordered filed, and the committee discharged with a vote of thanks. City Solicitor Andrew C. Boswell, referring to a conversation he had had with Dr. Hughes, sugjgested at this juncture that the chair should appoint a committee to fix a definite date for all future Carnivals of the Hallowe'en season. If this were done and made public, Mr. Boswell argued, it would preclude the possibility of other local events conflicting. He further suggested that, when a definite date had been fixed, the same committee should make the same known In other communities. By such an arrangement, the League could participate in out-of-town Hallowe'en Carnivals, and reasonably expect them to return the compliment. The members present adopted the suggestion, President Smith appointing Dr. J. Thornely Hughes, Andrew C. Boswell, and How*ard Justice on the committee. Some discussion arose relative to the sale of additional bond* on the League Home. Roy E. Darby, wh/ was appointed chairman of the committee to conduct the campaign, requested that the chair increase the number of members from three to five, and that Dr. J. Thornley Hughes be made chairman.

Dr. Hughes declined the chairmanship, but consented 4o serve on the committee. John Adams was later added to make the five. The committee, therefore, consists of Roy E. Darby, chairman. Dr. Hughes, Edward Hogan, William Taylor, and John Adams. James McCann and Attorney Stanley Kreps were duly elected to membership.

Frank E. Darby, realtor, was a visitor to Philadelphia on Friday. Harvey Goff ha* been appointed manager of the local office of the H. G. Harris Company, real estate brokers of Atlantic City.

Saturday will be a momentous day in the history of the Red Men. not only of Ocean City, but also of the entire state.

The member* of Kalmia Tribe I have been looking forward toward# ] the occasion with eager enthusiasm. The building of the splendid edifice which will in future house the wigwam, has entailed endless work and much sacrifice. Now that they are about to realize their desires, they have the' added satisfaction of; « knowing their hall will be an asset] and un adornment to the city of] inestimable value.

The laying of the corner stone will take place ut 4 o'clock in the afternoon, to which ceremony the public is cordially invited. Past Sachem William Atkinson, and Great Keeper of Records, Herbert Stetser will deliver the chief addresse* of the occasion. From the viewpoint of the spectacular, however, the chief event of the day will be the parade through the main thoroughfare# at 8 o'clock. Led by the Bugle and Drum Corps of the Russell Henry Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Allied Tribes and a host of Big Chiefs, gorgeous in their picturesque costumes, feathers and war paint, tho scene will be long remembered.

Following parade, all Red Man are invited and urged to attend a "Great Boom Meeting/' held under the auspices of the AJlied Tribes of Atlantic County, of which the Kalmia Tribe is a member. The elec-

tion of officers for the ensuing year will be held at this meeting. immediately afterwards, the Great Chiefs of the Great Council of New Jersey will assume charge, and confer the Chiefs Degree upon a class of one hundred pale-faces. This will be an event unforgettable, something which has never before taken place in any State of the Union, in the history of the Improved Order of Red Men. The rites and mysteries of the degree work dispensed with, a splendid program of entertainment will follow, and refreshments will be served. Every Red Man in the city is urged to be present and participate in the affair. The occasion will be unique in the annals of the ; order, and will contain scenes and experiences met only once in a lifetime. The Red Man who absents himself from the wigwam therefore will suffer a loss he will never be able to repair. The new hall rests upon one of the finest foundations laid in this city, thirty feet piling with concrete reinforced by hugk steel bars. The main structure is built of steel, and will be completely sheathed with asbestos shingles. The ground floor measures l&Oz 50 feet, and lends itself admirably for use as a convention hall, or as an athletic arena. The second floor contains two splendid lodge rooms, and a banqueting room. The two lodge rooms axe»- nicely furnished and will eventually contain ail the paraphernalia of work for which they were built. The ball is steam heated with < first class appointments and all sanitary conveniences. The work has been pushed forward with all possible speed by the contractor, William H. Smith, in anticipation of the grand opening on Saturday.
