Some persons, or person, during Thurs
day night, broke into the pumping station

switches to the batteries, thus weakening
them to a great extent and preventing
their working. There is no doubt that
the parties meant to cripple the plant al

see who is at the bottom of this mean
piece of work.

For a boulevard.

At the Manhassett Hotel, last Frida,
night, the Seaside Park Board of Trad
gave an elaborate banquet in the interes
of the Seaside Park to Bay Head Boule
ward"
Among the honored guests were Stat,
Road Commissioner Hutchinson; Senate
Brown, of Monmouth county; Senator
Shinn and the entire Board of Freehold
ers of Ocean county; Mr.. Vermule, gov
eminent engineer; Judges Berry, Otis ant
Gaskill; Hon. Vivian Lewis and many
other prominent men. Sixty-fve in al
were present at the banquet.
| Road Commissioner Hutchinson stated
that he had already approved the applica
ton and survey, and would do all in his
power to rush the road to completion as
rapidly as possible. The Board of Free
holders, through its chairman, said the
board is In sympathy and cooperation
with the Commissioner. and that the coun-
ty would do its share, so that the road is
assured and construction will begin the
ensuing year.
All the above named gentlemen made
good addresses, portraying advantages to
the state from continuous beach road,
and continuous inland waterway from
Manasquan Inlet to Cold Springs Inlet.
Cape May. This survey, now being made,
contemplates six to ten feet deep canal
from Manasquan Inlet to Bay Head.
This inland waterway would not only
connect New York-by three hours run
in power boat-with Bay Head and thence
by water all the New Jersey toast resorts,
but would make north Barnegat bay salt,
thus opening up thousands of acres OF the
best oyster planting waters to be found
along our seacoast.
The continuous beach road would make
our seashore paradise for automobilists,
and the combined water and road i'm
provements would bring millions of New
York, Philadelphia and other foreign cap
ital into our own state Golfers through in
creased taxables
That a boom is near for our northern
seashore resorts there can be no doubt.
Given the now assured 100 feet grav-
eled roadway for trolley extensions, auto
and carriage drives and the dredged
inland waterway for pleasure crafts,
cheaper passenger and freight carriage,
and 1t Is conservatively estimated that
northern beach property will greatly en-
nance In value in five years:
In the wake of these improvements will
come, In the near future, road bridge
between the beach and main land, extend

side Park, to Westray Point, north of

advocated by Toms River, Lakewood,

by the wealthy New York own
ers of Westray Point, who have offered
to contribute largely to the enterprise

Death of ellsworth Holeman.

Ellsworth Holeman, one of Noun
Holly's Oldest and most respected citizens
died early Thursday morning at his home
corner of High and Murrell streets. Three
weeks from yesterday he complained OF
not feeling well, and went upstairs to lie
down. 1t was thought wise to have q
| physician see him and the doctor pro-
nounced him suffering with remittent
fever and advised him to keep to his bed
for time This advice was needed but
the patient gradually grew weaker until
death resulted. Mr.. Holeman was in his
91st year, and up to the time that he gave
up had been very active man, always to
| be found In his store, cheerful and with a
pleasant smile and word. While the fever
that attacked him weakened him he was,
in reality. practically worn out, and his
death was as peaceful sleep, without pain,
and with his faculties unimpaired until
the morning before his death, when he did
not give evidence of knowledge of what
was going on around him.
Mr.. Holeman was born In Mount Holly
In 1915, and in 1887 started in business
for himself In the store now occupied by
Harris A. Glover. From there he moved
to several locations until In 1857 he opened
store In the building now occupied by
the firm, which was formed in 1862 by the
admission of his son, Richard P. Holeman
Mr.. Holeman was a consistent christian
gentleman, an earnest worker In the
Methodist church, with which he united
In 1886, and the same year he was made
an exhorter and class leader. He was
member of the official board of the church
for thirty years, and his counsels were
greatly valued by his fellow members.
He also held several township offices,
among them justice of the peace. This
position he held for about 43 years, and
much of the time allowed the use of his
name against his own judgment in re-
Spouse to the friends who recognized him
as an upright and unprejudiced official.
His funeral took place Saturday after
noon, interment being made in Mount
Holly cemetery The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Marshal Owens,
pastor of Centenary M. E. church, Cam
den. who paid a glowing tribute to the
deceased and to his seventy-one years of
service In the church.
