Cape May Waking Up

There was some comment expressed
over several residents of Ocean City
and one or more county oficiala-of
Cape May comforting here with men of
prominence of Atlantic City and Coun-
ty over the proposed new ocean boule-
ward and in discussing a new bridge
for a new trolley that is to form another
link between the two counties. Cape
May never seemed to be interested N
such things and its waking up now is a
matter for congratulation. Atlantic
County, through Atlantic City, has
usually been fighting the battles of the
shore counties, and while it received
moral support, 1t seldom received the
active and material aid of other coun-
ties. We are very glad to have Cape
May take an interest in all things, legis-
lation and public improvements, that
will help all the coast. With the ner-
getic support of the tier of shore coun-
ties, Atlantic City's lead would have
more influence in and out of the Legis-
lature to secure friendly legislation
and state support for various enter
prises designed for the benefit of the
coast. What is of benefit to Atlantic
City will surely, more or less, benefit
every coast county. United action by
the coast counties is sure to be pro-
ductive of good results.-Atiantic City

The Proposed New Bank
From the Elmer Times

From the Elmer Times
Under the above heading, the Bridge
ton Patriot, last week, gave a summing
zap of its opinion of the plan underway
at Bridgeton to start another Bank.
In e. planation of the Patriot article it
may be said that there are %organiza-
tons or companies throughout the
country which makes a business OF
starting banks, charging a commission
of five dollars a share for the job.
Editor Cheeseman's article in the Pat
riot was as follows:
Gas we understand the matter the
proposed new National Bank for our
city is simply a scheme of some outside
promoters, who make such matters
their business and thought they had
discovered an opportunity for making
about 81, in a short time, without
knowing, or caring as to what may be
Hhe success or failure of the bank if
started.
Their proposition is rather a novel
Oue anu lihcly " plONC aplidClifC W
thoughtless investors. 1t is proposed
to pay dividends from the beginning
from the premiums paid by subscribers
for the stock, or at least from what
may remain of such premium moneys
after these promoters have gobbled up
$500 as their compensation for the
wonderful interest they manifest in
the affairs of our people.
AS a matter of fact the three banks,
including the Trust Company, seem to
supply all demands of the people, and
to have thousands of dollars left for
which they seek investment. If there
be any considerable number of persons
who believe that another bank is need
ed, and is desirable, they should know
there is sufficient brains and business
ability in our city to employ all legal
talent that is necessary to comply with
all the requirements of the law for less
than $500 to set the bank in operation.
This being the case, why should they
for a moment think of paying outside
parties, who care neither for them or a
new bank, over $500 of their savings
for what can as well, and better, be
done by themselves for less than $500.
We not only doubt the need Of an
other bank for our city, but we far
more doubt if a sufficient number of
persons can be found who are willing
to subscribe to the required amount of
capital stock to make the scheme of the
promoters, much less the proposed
bank, a success.n
