WILDWOOD CREST

The Mayors of the island and a num-
Der of Councilmen aud other officials
and citizens got together at a little sup
per at the Holly Beach Yacht club on
Wednesday evening to talk over the
matter of pooling their money the COM
ing aso for the issuance of a booklet
and the placing of advertising in the
city newspapers aud for the general en-
tertainment of visitors to the island.
Mayor Frank E. Smith was toastmas-
ter and at his right sat Mayor Baker,
while Mayor Wheaton occupied a seat
at his left. J. Thompson Baker was
the first speaker, and while hardly
touching upon the subject of the eve-
ming he did give a helpful talk and
urged his hearers to subscribe to stock
and encourage the movement now well
underway to build a railroad to the
mainland to connect with the Reading.
Mayors Baker and Wheaton thought
that the suggestion that each borough,
including the new Wildwood Crest
borough about to be Incorporated, put
an equal amount in their budgets for
advertising purposes and spend the
money jointly was a good one. Other
speakers were Councilmen Goslin,
Bonham, Durham, Saul, Buck, Ely,
Koeneke and Collins. Former Coun-
Gilman Slaughter, George N. Smith,
Y. G. Reynolds and n. Diamond were
also present and spoke. The sugges-
ton was made hat each borough, in
GLIDING the Crest, put an item of So, 900
in its budget for advertising, which
would make the neat sum of $12, 900.
This amount of money would be suffi-
Gent to issue a handsome booklet and
buy considerable space in the news
papers. 1t was suggested that a COM
mittee of two Councilmen from each
borough be 'appointed to see If an agree
ment could not be made for each bor-
ough to appropriate a like amount in
this years budget for advertising pur-
poses. Mayor Smith appointed Coun-
ciimen Nickerson and Ecully for Holly
Beach; Mayor Wheaton appointed
Co0ncilmen Beecher and Ely for An
and Mayor Baker appointed
Wildwood. A number of large tax
payers present favored the plan and
expressed the hope that Councils would
agree on some amount and give it a
trial and see how it works out.
Among the recent visitors here were
Mrs. Daniel Golf, Millville; Fred
Eegan, w. v. Silver, Philadelphia; A.
Turner. &. Turner, Germantown; VIII
