@OI-NCILMAN William Riddle wants
this resort to have continental
Sunday. That is, he wants the
church people to have the privilege of
going to church in the morning without
being disturbed by the noise of crowds
about beer saloons and amusements, but
after o'clock Sunday afternoon he wants
everything run wide open. including the
merry go-rounds and varied amusements
on the piers To this end he has intro
duced into city council ordinance
amending the crimes act so that the noise
producers shall be properly legaliZed.
Since his purpose has become known there
has been howl going up from many
quarters of the resort, and If his amend
mcnt is not smothered to death by the
law committee of the council. then it will
be garroted when it appears on the floor
uf that body for second hearing.
Another attempt is being made to have
electrically propelled roller chairs on the
Boardwalk. The bill permitting them to
be licensed was introduced into the city
council last Monday night by Councilman
s. S. PhoebuS. The chairs would be SINH
lar to a chair which was given a trial
little more than year ago The ordi-
nance provides that the operator of the
chair shall be a licensed chauffeur, and
that the speed gear be arranged so that
there could not be anything like racing.
The chairs too must be provided with
proper safeguards to pedestrians and
wearing apparel The Boardwalk has be-
come longer through the connection With
the Ventnor promenade and IT is now
more than seven miles in length, and
about the only way to get from one end
to the other in roller chair is to get one
that is propelled by electricity.
Tag day was observed here today by
H. lot
and thousands of people went about the
city wearing tags pinned or tied upon
them by children enlisted in the work.
Every person tagged had to pay ~ cents
or more to the benefit of this charitable
work, and it is expected that several num-
dred dollars will result.
