, The ocean front here is extraordinarily
attractive this year through the activities
Of one Of the new City Commissioners,
John W Flock, OF the Department OF
Parks and Public Buildings. For the FIRST
time the refuse washed up on the beach in
the undertow is raked UP and burned the
seats along the bluff walk and In the four
pavlions are brushed off daily, and toilets
and drinking fountains have been installed
in the pavilions The boardwalk Is kept
free from paper and trash, receptacles for
the same having been installed. Although
his appropriation was reduced when the
budget was revised and raised BY the new
city rulers, Commissioner Flock Is trying
10 make the ocean front model ono tor
resorts.
Among other Improvements instituted ~
Commissioner Flock has been the beautity-
ing Of the strip of park in Cedar avenue.
which it was a surprise 20 many thai the
city owned. This Is really the only PARK
the city owns and controls, Ocean PARK
being leased, unless the beach IS regarded
as park.
