Editor FIVE MILE BEACH JOURNAL,
Dear Sir: l feel that as editor and
publisher of the sturdy little pioneer
newspaper of the Five Mile Beach re-
sorts, you deserve to be complimented
personally, and the paper itself | deem
we'll worthy the esteem and favor in
which it is held by all those in any way
interested in the growth and prosperity
of the three little seaside boroughs, An
glesea, Wildwood and Holly Beach.
You have displayed laudable zeal and
enterprise in your work. The field in
which you have for the past fifteen
years SO intelligently and faithfully
labored has been abundantly benefited
and advanced thereby. The JOURNALS
big twenty-four page special number
issued at the opening of the season of
1903 was something to be proud of,
geographically editorially, and in the
generous support given it by the entire
business communities of the beach,
making a bound into popularity that
has marked the course of the paper ever
since. Scores of persons among Carroll
Villa guests have since read my copy of
the special article on wildwood, the
Beautiful, Child of the Sea- and have
been led thereby TO visit the pretty little
resort described as
"Nestled in cedar, and holly and vine,
Where verdure and wild flowers their sweet
ness combine
Cape May envies not the progress and
prosperity of her sister resorts, and the
only wish is that they might be yet
more closely united by the ties of rail
road trackage, and tremendously ce-
mented in their common interests by
by the efforts of the League of Seaside
Mayors" so recently organized.
Wishing the JOURNAL and its pub
fishers the greatest success, | am,
Very truly yours,
Il. r.. BROOKS.

EVERY ASSURANCE OF
VAST IMPROVEMENTS
Half a Million Dollars TO be
Expended in Improvements
in the Thriving Munich
paIify of Wildwood

It ia now fifteen years since Baker
Brothers conceived the idea OF founding
a model seaside resort. How well they
have succeeded is evident to every per-
son who has lately visited Wildwood
by-the-Sea.
In creating a municipality there are
many unknown contingencies lying IN
the way of success, and failure or sue
cess are often in the balance. An ac-
count of failure or mismanagement is
what might be termed a trivial matter
in which the high hopes of the projec-
tors are blasted. But Wildwood-by-the
Sea has "won out'' and today is hailed
as the coming American seaside resort.
To 80 great an extent is this true that
observant and successful business men
not only rate Wildwood as a safe place
in which to invest money, but place 1t
IN the list of investments insuring a
quick and large return for all who
secure property within the bounds of
the municipality.
A HALF MILLION OF EXPENDITURE.
1t is a conservative estimate that a
half million of dollars will be expended
in various improvements, o con-
tracted for and in formation, during
the coming year. The stimulating
effect that this expenditure will have
on property can easily be understood.
Surely Wildwood is to be congratulated
upon its prospective brilliant future.
A FEW OF THE IMPROVEMENTS.
The 800, 900 ocean pier to be built for
Reynolds & Buckborn, the contract for
which has been awarded and operations
have begun, is a gigantic undertaking
which is destined another eason to
play an important part in the amuse-
ment Of the immense crowds that will
visit this resort.
The introduction of a gas plant, the
ordinance for which has been granted
by Borough Council, and providing
that it shall be in operation by next July,
backed as it is by State Comptroller j..
Willard Morgan and Judge IL. HI.
Voorhees,, would seem to indicate that
the plant will surely be in operation
next summer.

reclaimed meadowland as undertaken
