may be said that Atlantic City is 10 very
depiorable condition.
Ia order to render the condition OF the
people on the leland precarious 1t Is neces-
sary that the water should rise z feet higher

leaves ground for hope that the damage
will be confined to property and that no
lives will be lost.
The place depends on the outside world

All that has been said OF Atlantic City
applies with equal forcs to Sea Iale City.
There are large number OF residents at
the latter place and 1t IL impossible to OBJ
