The writ of certiorari applied for by
the Holly Beach Swedish fishermen
was granted by Supreme Court Judge
Francis }. Swayze last week and was
served upon Borough Clerk Hewitt
and Mayor Smith on Wednesday of
last week at noon by Philip Stanton
commanding that work on the new
beach boardwalk be stopped. Work
was discontinued on the walk last
Wednesday afternoon and the borough
solicitor, Judge H. IL. Voorhees,, and
officials are now engaged in an ell
deavor to lift the injunction in order
that work on the walk may proceeds
again. About half of the piling for
the walk had been put in, extending
from Garfield to Taylor when
the injunction was served. The reason
that the fishermen applied for The
writ was that the walk interfered with
landing their fishing boats on the
beach and obstructed the street so MS
to prevent or greatly inconveni nee
them in using their push carts to haul
the fish from the shore to the raj road
station. The fishermen have engaged
as counsel Douglass & Douglass, Of
Court House, and Edward b. Lean
ing, Esq, of Camden. Mr.. Leaning
was in Holly Beach last Saturday
night and through him a PROPOSE ion
was made by the fishermen to the
Council to stop proceedings if the Dor
ough would change the plans of the
walk so as to span Montgomery, Davis
and Baker avenues, thus leaving three
spaces the width of these free
from the ~obstructing piling. Council
declined to do this for the reason that
"A change III the boardwalk plans at
this late day would break the agree
ment with the boardwalk contractors.
A special meeting of Council was held
on Monday evening for the purpose of
taking up the subject. Council met
in a committee room behind closed
doors and at ten minutes to ten when
the JOURNAL reporter left the Council
was still celebrating secretly. The
result is said to be a decision on the
part of Council to make no COM
promise with the fishermen but to
fight the certiorari proceedings. Testi-
mOny will be taken in the matter in
Holly Beach tomorrow and the case
will be argued before Judge Swayze
at Mays Landing on Monday next,
May %.
