PORTER-SMITH CO. AWARDED CONTRACT BULKHEAD REPAIRS SOITH OCKAN CITY ASKS| ( KKTAI N IM^HOV KM ENTS BE IN BUDGET The City Commissioners were .prewired i(r*r'eir meeting on Mon,ia> to te<? .e and consider bids umier Contract 746, for repairing tho damage done by the recent storm in the southern And of the municipality. The repairs included u portion of the bulkhead, the alley lots and curbing wasshed out by the encroaching tide. Two bids were received for the following amounts: Porter-Smith Co., $9,979.97; Monihan and Hall, 311,745.00. By the action of the Hoard of Commissioners, City Engineer Collisson was instructed, to examine the proposals and report hack during the meeting. Later, the engineer submitted his report, recommending that the contract be awarded the lowest bidder, which suggestion was adopted by the Commissioners in the form of a resolution offered by Director Corson. City Clerk Harry A. Morris read the notices published of the Commissioners' intention to introduce tvu ordinances, the one relative to the opening and grading of a fifteen foot alley between Asbury and West Avenues, and from FiftySixth to Fifty-Ninth Streets, and the other relative to the construction of jetties on the beach front between North Street and the Atlantic Boulevard.

No opposition or protest was heard against the first proposal. A letter beaiing the signature of Ida M. Manly was read protesting against the building of jetties. Eventually, however, the two ordinances were introduced and passed on the first and second reading. Both will come up for third reading and final passage on Monday. December 17th. A communication was read from the South Ocean City Improvement Association, petitioning the City Commissioners to include certain improvements to that section in i.ext year's budget. Among other things, the association asked for a comfort station, a pavilion, and improvements to streets and lighting. The letter was ordered filed for future reference. At the last meeting of the Commissioners, the West Jersey Investment Company petitioned the Board to open an alley between Morning Side Road and the Atlantic Boulevard. Director Corson was instructed with the city engineer to investigate conditiohs in the locality. Reporting on Monday, the <Hlector of highways declared it in

his judgment inadvisable to proceed with the work at the present time, because unsafe. Mayor Champion instructed the clerk to read a personal letter, k '

'-...'J.- jr., . rr1!111** }ieeming some of the Information' | It contained would be of interest ; t» his colleagues. The communl-j cation, emanating from the Coast I Anti-Pollution League, stated that1 an important conference had been held at the ofiices of Senator Fre linnghyHcn, at which the United States Fishereies, the National Fire Underwriters* Association, and other parties interested were represented. According to the letter, It is probable that an International Conference will be called, with ' everv prospect that effective means j will be taken to abate the nuisance i of oil and tar polluting the beaches. ! The Commissioners further instructed the city clerk to advertise for bids for the collection and dis-j posal of garbage, trash and ashes for the year 1924. Contractors may secure the plans and specifications for the work at the city clerk's office. City .Engineer Collisson was in- ! structcd to prepare plans and ; specifications for the work speci-' fled in Ordinances 230 and 237, to| wit, the construction of jetties on i the beach, and the construction of j the alley at Fifty-Sixth Street. Bills were submitted to the aggregate of $14,906.08, and orders were drawn for separate amounts. ; NEEDLEWORK GUILD FIRST M. E. CHURCH

Ware. James Reynolds, a colored man, was charged with having a gallon of "moonshine'* in his house.

If, therefore, he would sign a complaint against one numed Alexander Eldrcdge, who had escaped the police oh Saturday, ami was alleged to have been seen carrying the gallon of "mule" produced in court, then he, Chief Johnson, 1 stated he would be prepared to withdraw the charges against Reynolds. 1 Eldredge is reported to have I been seen by the Police Officers Taylor and Zimmermann with the 1 j vessel of liquor in his possession. , ' Finding he was detected, Eldredge ran into the house of Reynolds, deposited the liquor, and escaped by ' a rear door.

The Phonograph that amazed Ocean City can T be bought ! I v I There is a rumor abroad that the instrument j which triumphed in the drastic comparison test, I! made recently at the Strand Theatre, was a special exhibition model. That rumor is false. The instrument was a regular Official Laboratory Model — out of our own stock. • . Every Edison Phonograph in our stock is guaranteed to* sustain the same test . j If you were one of those in the audience who i wistfully exclaimed: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could buy a phonograph like that" — know that you can. Know that it will perform this miracle every j day for you in your own home. j The NEW EDISON PHONOGRAPH Come in and hear for youraelf the marvelous realism of the New Edison. Find out about our Budget Plan, which enables you to own a New Edison for a small down payment the balance on a gentleman's agreement to suit your convenience. I Note— The test at the Strand Theatre was made by Elisabeth Spencer, the world-famous soprano. She compared her living voice with its Re-Creation I by the New Edison. There was no difference between - the Jiving voice and the Rc-Croated voice. ... j The New Edison stands absolutely alone in this achievement; no other phonograph has ever sus- I taiiied this test of comparison.
