WILLOW OOD'S BUDGET

MTs. M. u. Brown the fu-
neral of a brother-in-law in Trenton on
Saturday last.
Harry Newcomb, of Wildwood, was
noticed on our streets last Monday.
Since Mr.. Newcomb's advent into
Wildwood society be has made rapid
strides, in fact becoming leader of all
the social functions and the social
world of that attractive little city by
the sea.-Ocean City Ledger.
Splendid cement and fiagstone side
walks and curblng have taken the
place of sandy, muddy or uneven walks
and wooden curb and u streets are
hard, smooth and clean. Baker Bros
VIM. G. Barber, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, visited his cousin, Samuel Corle,
a few days ago, whom he had not seen
for thirty-one years.
AT many seashore places cistern wa
ter is still used for domestic use. Our
artesian wells furnish an abundant sup
ply of the purest water for household
use and fire protection. Baker Bros.
Mech & Co. will have their opening
of Spring and Summer Millinery on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
March %, "a and %. Store corner of
u anu l. dClllC dNCAuCo, I1OllN bCdCn.
McWilliams & Tronnem are prepared
to furnish Easter flowers and plants
and will take orders until Thursday,
March 81. \
While coming down on the train
Monday evening, Assessor Washburn
and VIM. r. ellis became SO absorbed
in themselves hat they failed to get off
at the junction and were carried on to
Rio Grande, from which place they
hoofed it home.
For Sale.-Two fine building lots in
the heart of old Wildwood on Pine ave-
nue., being lot 10, block IL; lot IS, block
II. Edmund b. Park, New Bruins
wick, N. J. n
Do not imagine that the price of lots
in Wildwood today represents any
thing like what their value will be in a
few years. We say this from observa-
ton of other successful seaside resorts.

The celebration of its third anniver-
sary by Beach Council, No. 157, Jr. o.
U. A. M, at the borough hall last Fri
day evening was attended by a goodly
number of the Councils members and
invited friends. Though the weather

vent a full house. An excellent pro-
gram wal rendered. Councillor Clay
ton S Lowe made the address of well
come after the company had listened
to a captivating overture by Hughes
orchestra. John n. Reeve gave an in
teresting talk on the objects and prin-
ciples of the order. A recitation by
Miss Minnie Grosscup,of Reading, Pa,
was well rendered and showed her to
he an elocutionist of no little ability.
One of the very best selections on the
whole program was a solo by Master
Thomas b. Rayder, who possesses a
rich and beautiful voice. All the selec-
tions were good and heartily encored
and the vocal solo by little Harry
Hughes greatly pleased the audience
and the little fellow met with great
applause. At the close of the musicale
cake and ice cream were served. The
music rendered by Hughes orchestra
throughout the evening came in for a
good share of praise.
We offer choice cottage, hotel and
business locations for sale at moderate
prices. Baker Bros, Wildwood or
Ill Drexel Bldg, Philadelphia. n
Howard r. Buck left Wednesday for
Belmar, where he will oversee the oper-
ations of six fishing pounds during the
coming season, in which he and f. L.
Larkin are interested.
If you ask upon what basis we claim
there will be a great rise in property,
we answer that conditions here are
bringing to Wildwood a rapidly in
creasing population and with it a cor
responding demand for property
which naturally mean higher prices.

Ground has been broken for the
erection of the new store property by
Frank P. Rudolph, corner Pine and
Pacific avenues. Part will be occupied
by MI. Rudolph as grocery and part by
DR.. N. A. Cohen as a drug store.
Superintendent Malin and his able
staff of machinists at the Wildwood
Water Company's plant have been tax
ed TO their utmost for the past two
weeks. The rise in the thermometer
and the consequent thaw brought TO
light MANY breaks IN the distributing
system. 1t is estimated by Mr.. Main
that over a million gallons of water
escaped. The most serious break oc-
Cured at Holly Beach, on spencer ave
nue. neal the ocean front, MOhuay blsnI'
The tank was emptied as fast as a SIX
inch main wide open could run IL Oh.
A water famine was averted by the
nrompt measures taken and the efficlen-
cy of the new vacuum pump and It's
capacity of 100 gallons a minute, with
the mower furnished by the converted
gas engine, running as smoothly as a
watch and the water in the tank was
rapidly brought up to its usual volume.
The new trolley road to the fishing
grounds and for excursion parties on
fhe island is an attraction that will be
appreciated and will have a marked
effect on the price of property. Baker

A lodge of knights of Pythias will
probably be formed in Wildwood ID the
near future. Past Chancellor Fred u.
Schell has the matter under advlsemenl.
