john e. truui will f head progressive league next year . kj l DKLINQUKNT COMMITTER ON!, NV AH PATH AFTER MEMBERS s BEHIND IN DUES f I Nominuliones for the various ! 1 offices which will become vacant v within a few weeks, came in orders of business at the regular weekly .s meeting of the Young Men's Progressive league held at head- J quarters on Monday evening. It \ is understood however that the list r of candidates for the various of- 1 fices will remain open for several J more weeks, and an opportunity t will be given each meeting night for further nominations. I The present Vice President John K. Trout was nominated to ftll the presiding office for the coming year. Two were entered into the field for the vice presidency, Harold Paris and Albert Oldfield. For the office of secretary, the present incumbent, Walter K. Allen, was | named. The office of financial secretary will have very few candidates seemingly. Dr. John Thomley Hughes has established so high a } standard of efficiency in that posi- » lion, that it is hardly possible- the { League will alloaw a change. Dr. ^ Hughes was named and only a bylaw prevented the nomination from j being closed there and then. ^ For the duties of trnsurer, C. i Nickcrson was named to succeed ^ himself. It was explained that one ( trustee went out of oirice this ( year, and Howard T. Justice was named to fiill the vacancy. , Six members to form an execu- { live committee are needed. Twelve were nominated in the following ^ order: Ira Scott Johnson, A. R. , Smith, Howard T. Justice, Alfred j W. Powell, W. J. Chadwick, Wm. , Kautchman, Dr. W. P. Haines, P. . J. Evans, Elmer Jackson Pearl, R. j E. Darby, Lawrence M. Lear and , Edward Hogan. In submitting a preliminary re- , port of the finances of the League, \ Dr. J. Thomley Hughes stated that the roster of delinquents was ; somewhat lengthy. At the close i of the last fisical year he was able to report every member in good , standing, and hoped to reduplicate the achievement this year. He therefore handed a list of delinquents to the committee in sharge of such of which Roy E. Darby is chairman. The committee is therefore on the warpath. Members in urroars are subject to suspension. The names of three new candidates for membership were handed for recommendation. These' were George B. Johnson, painter, E. B. Reichly of the Ocean City Laundry, and Earl S. Kramer. Considerable discussion arose following a communication read, in which the Progressive League was . invited to send representatives to a meeting held in Camden on Thursday of this week called with the view of inducing the State to hard surfnee the road known as the Black Horse Pike. Some misunderstanding existed among the members as to the particular section of the highway im-j plied. The League however will he represented nt the meeting to be held in Camden, Howard T. Justice, Andrew C. Boswell, W. J. Chadwick, and Ira Scott Johnson volunteering to attend. * ! — .

great progress made developing of gardens tract I SECTION PROMISES TO BEj COME ONE OF THE BEAUTY SPOTS ON THE ISLAND I ; 1 - • t • — — — yl # The upper end of Ocean City will present a changed front to visitors next spring. What was formerly a vast acreage of uneven ground, j covered with high beach grass, will be levelled^ olT and gravelled with curbed streets and sidewalks. Thisi part of the island 4s known as the "Gardens" where the McLaughlan-| Conover Company has such a big i levelopment. For the past month the mainfj moth pumping machine of the Hill ' Dretlging Company has been working on .an average of twenty-two hours a day, with the result that a "great quantity of sand has been j dug out of the bay, and piped tothe operation. General Manager \ Elton Risley of the Hill Company , predicts, that if this rate of progress is maintained his company will have completed the contract before New Years Day, provided the weather remains calm. If, however, high northwest winds should set in, necessitating the removal of the dredge from its exposed position near the yacht club, the machine will be brought back when the weather becomes 1 settled, at which time finishing touches will require not more than thirty days pumping at the most. The dredging work has been hampered heretofore because of defective machinery. Motive power recently has. been changed from steam to electricity. The new ari rangement has proved a hugh sucjcess. 1 Henry Y. Clouting, who is doing the street work, has put on a big force of men, and hopes to have his contract finished in time to allow spring building of residences. The Gardens section is apparently well liked by realty investors and others. Lots that sold for $800 when McLaughlan and Conover opened up their operation September a year ago, are now selling for $1900. According to McLaughlan, i who in this section of the State is j considered on of the best authorities on seashore real estate, the < latter figure is far under the real value of the property. .
