In the Circuit Court in Camden on
Monday Editor Alfred Cooper, Of
Court House, Judge James NJ. E. Hill
dreth, of Cape May, and Leaning NJ.
Rice, of North Wildwood, were APP
pointed Commissioners of Adjustment
for the purpose of enforcing the law
known as the Martin Act in the col
lection of back taxes and assessments
in the Borough of North Wildwood.
The Borough Council applied for the
appointment of this commission on
account of the large amount of money
due the borough from the sewer, grad
ing and graveling and cement sidewalk
assessments, to pay for which i'm
provement certificates were issued.
The legal lie of these certifi Gates Is
five years and many of them are past
due, and it was necessary to take strin-
gent measures in order to get this
money in to take up and pay off the
certificates. A similar commission
did good work in Holly Beach about
eight years ago. Council recommen-
ded the appointment of Harry II. Hoff-
man, George Redding and Mr.. Rice.
A special meeting of Council was
held on Monday night with the Mayor
and Councilmen Buck, Shivers and
Turner present at which time the ac-
ton of giving a discount at the ate of
six per cent. per year on 1909 taxes
paid before December 20 was rescinded.
Nobody knows what a vast amount OF
work and trouble this would make for
the collector, m it would almost be
necessary for him to hire a clerk to
make the calculations and answer the
letters and inquiries on the subject.

that In the awful presence OF death
