Of considering the purchase of an auto
mobile fire engine. All members were
present except Jason Buck and it was
quite a lively meeting, more interest
being displayed In trying to find out
why the new boardwalk down in the
Ottens tract was not finished before
mid season. Several members Of the
new Taxpayers Protective association
were present and expressed themselves
quite freely as being very much vexed
at the delay in the completion Of the
boardwalk. They explained that it
interfered with the renting of cottages,
some of them claiming to get only one
half the price Of former years. Mr..
Speckman acted as spokesman for
the party. Rufus P. Hays, the board
walk contractor, explained that the
trouble was at the saw mill, where a
portion Of the lumber was cut two feet
short by mistake. He said that he
did all in his power to hurry the work
along and that when the right size
lumber arrived a force of 85 men was
put on and that the walk was opened
to the public last Saturday before the
ratings were set. In the controversy
1t developed that the fittings for the
iron ratings, which were ordered by
the borough, had not arrived, which
delay was no fault Of the contractor.
Contractor Hays asked for an extension
of three weeks from July l, on his con-
tract, which was voted unanimously.
w. E. Young made an earnest plea to
Council to. provide money for a fire
engine and it was finally decided that
Council and the two fire companies
get together and agree upon the kind
Of a machine to buy, then council
would take the matter up. A letter
was read from e. r. Greathead con-
corning the bad condition of lots along
Surf avenue which was referred to the
Board of Health. A number Of
property owners petitioned for the
grading and graveling ofThird avenue,
In the vicinity of Ocean avenue, which
was accepted and the engineer was
directed to draw specifications. Coun-
Gilman Ely suggested that an effort be
made to induce the Pennsylvania rail-
road to use refrigerator cars for certain
products shipped to Anglesea. The
latter part of the evening was enlivened
by an amusing tilt between N. K. s..
Yewdall and Charles Mace concerning
the work of the dredge on the inlet
front.
