The North Wildwood Board of Trade
which started of with flying colors
recently with Henry II. Ottens as
president, held a busy session Friday
njght observation-disclosures esrs
tanning to the future of this resort.
The one proposition was the issuing of
a booklet setting forth the features of
the town and on which several bids
were offered; the other proposition is
a movement to have the Five Mile
Beach Electric company extend their
trolley system to Grassy Sound, a mile
and a half beyond Anglesea. 1t is ar
eued that the extension of the tracks
will develop much business between
Grassy Sound and Anglesea along
shopping as well as fishing lines.
The Board of Trade is to approach the
trolley company through borough
council by petitions and JohnN. Reeve,
of Wildwood Heights, and Hilton d
Son, of Wildwood Terrace, are prepar-
ing and will have signed up a monster
petition to the company. There is
some talk that the Cape May trolley
company, which, it is understood, is
dominated by the Reading Railroad, is
planning to enter Five Mile Beach is
land by coming up the shore road and
crossing the meadows and coming into
North Wildwood by way of the new
Ham Canal fill-in operation. This
company has dredged in a strip of and
several hundred feet wide and fully a
mile out on the meadows, and in a
direct line with the Reading station at
Burleigh, over on the mainland. If
this proposition is carried through it
will give the island its much-to-be
desired connection with the Reading
railroad, a consummation devoutly 10 be
hoped for by all the people of the allied
resorts.
The "Fannie E. Moffett," Capt.
Turner, came in this Friday morning
from the fishing banks with a fine lot
of sea bass, mackerel and butter fish.
Hurrah, the fish are biting.
The Beach Greek section of Anglesea
is slated to become prominent in salt
water clubdom. The latest is the new
B. J. Wolfe Association Of Philadel-
phia, which has awarded contracts for
a So, 900 club house at Third and Della
ware avenues, on the banks of Beach
Creek. The design of the structure is
is to be similar to Henry Schwaben-
lands extensive cottage nearby. This
makes a good half dozen fishing clubs
in this and adjacent sections, and in
cludes the Pioneer, Hereford. Arctic,
Getz and the R~oxborough, along with
the new Wolfe.
John Weldy, a Philadelphia brewer,
has taken the Hotel Hilton at the
Anglesea depot and is already engaged
in making changes around the place
preparatory to opening it this season.
The Hilton is a handsome place but
has had an eventful career during its
few brief years but there is no reason
why it should not make good under
the new manager.
