Legislature in the coming session with
unusual vigoS The shore section, in
cluding Long Branch, Asbury Park,
Ocean Grove and other resorts, and

business from the shore district, the
last term, just ended, extending over a
period of eleven weeks, and leaving a

county is formed Long Branch will
probably be the county seat. The
project will probably fail of success on
account of objections of the populous
counties to any increase of the country
membership to the State Senate.
