Mayor Tenbroeck, of Asbury Park, OF
Wednesday made public serious charges
OF mismanagement and neglect agains,
the old Water Board. He claims that
$I25,ooo has been expended on the water
works since they were erected, and that a
large part of it has been used in useless
experimenting. He promises a more de.
tailed and sensational statement in few
days.
The driving of wells on Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks on the meadows between
Absecon and Atlantic City, for the pur-
pose of building up foundation that
shall prevent the sinking of the tracks,
has proven conclusively that the former
place was at one time on the ocean front.
1t is the opinion of biologists that the At.
lantic ocean at one time occupied a con-
siderable portion of the State of New Ter
sey, and that much of the southern part,
now inland, had the sea at its doors.
