sess some peculiarly balmy and bracing quality
that restores energy and brings life.
Vast as have been the improvements puolic and
private that have been made here recently, a
large amount of additional advancement along
this line is being planned for the coming winter
The important public works now under way or to
be undertaken before next summer are the COM
pletion of the new City Hall. whose cornerstone
was laid last Saturday; the erection of new CEN
trail fire station. adjoining the City Hall; new
water main across the meadows from the main
land and as much improved street paving as can
be done with the money available for this pur-
pose All this will entail the outlay OF a large
amount of money, but the investment IS universally
admitted 70 be a good one bringing ample return
in the increased value of taxable property. In
addition it will furnish employment for many men
who would otherwise be idle during the winter
months.

occupancy about next May. The building will cost
about 100000 with its furnishings, and although

done this winter is yet problem. the City Solicit

The question of an increased water supply is one
of the most serious matters now confronting the
authorities The present supply is drawn partially
from artesian wells, about dozen of these be-
ing owned by the city and partially from lakes and
streams on the mainland, pumping station being
situated at Absecon and iron mains conducting the
water from there across the meadows, distance
of six miles. In addition to this number of the
larger hotels supplied from private artesian
wells. The city has grown so rapidly, however
that the supply is now inadequate during the busy
summer months. The of 100000 has been ap-

as the proper material for its construction The
Water Department officials favor built up wooden
main while a majority of the City Council are
said TO favor iron pipe The matter will doubtless
be arranged amicably, however, and the water
supply will be largely increased before next sum
