ATLANTIC CITY, jan

The first touch of real winter weather
was felt in this city Thursday, albeit
there was snow just prior to Christmas.
The weather had been real warm, but the
thermometer began to take tumble We'd
nesday and by Thursday morning 1T was
genuinely cold There was snow with
the cold but not enough of it fell to make
Sleighing.
The cold weather always starts a craze
for walking In Atlantic City, and if this
weather will hold for a few days visit
orS who never do much walking when at
home will begin covering anywhere from
three to ten miles daily in walks along
the ocean promenade. In milder weather
most people at this resort take their out
ing in a roller chair. great number
take it that way, cold or hot In the real
cold weather they take an enclosed chair.
have hot water bottles apd blankets and
are as comfortable as though in their
steam-heated room at the hotel
Atlantic City wants all the foreign au-
tomobilists it can get 1t wants auto
owners from every state in the Union,
and looking to that end committee has
been named from the board of trade to
go to Trenton during the coming sessions
of the legislature to try to influence the
members Of that body to remove the SO
tax which the state now places upon all
foreign cars. The board of trade and
all local hotel men want the law re-
vised to such extent that this tax shall
be remedied where cars come into the
state from one to ten days. They believe
that it will increase the amount of bust
ness and bring a lot OF money into New
Jersey which is now diverted to other
channels. 1t is said the Atlantic county
senator and assemblyman are both in
favor of the scheme.
The publicity bureau has given out the
information that about $50 conventions
have been booked for Atlantic City dur
ing the fiscal year The bureau is main
tanned by a number Of the hotels, and
instead of printing bulletin and dis
seminating their information broadcast, as
was done last year, the bureau will send
special bulletins to it's subscribers only.
In this way those who do not support
the bureau will have no means of getting
inside information and benetiting thereby.
The resort has indosed Gov. Forts
scheme for an ocean boulevard, connect
ing all the New Jersey resorts, and to

lowing committee to aid in pushing the
scheme to successful elimination: Col.
