Advocates of Change in N. }

Many interesting features are outlined

known I'm New York, where he is presl-
dent of the Franklin Society for Home
Building and Savings. He is an ardent
single taxer. and was nominated for and
elected to the New Jersey Senate prac-
tcally on this platform, his opponents
holding up this as their principal argu-
ment against him Senator Hennessy, II
is expected, will be made chairman of the
new Committee on Taxation In the Sen
ate
Senator Hennessys home. rule tax bill
will be supported not only by the leaders
of the Progressive party but by many
earnest tax reformers OF all parties
throughout the state. Assemblyman Dali
rymple, Of Passaic, a Republican, is one
OF those who has announced his adherence
to the Hennessy proposal.

STRENGTH OF BIG
SEA WALL SHOWN
Recent Severe Storms Did No
Damage at Manhattan
Beach Estates.

Officers of the Manhattan Beach Estates
were last year congratulated by many of
the residents and lot owners at Manhat-
tan Beach upon the strength shown by
the new sea wall in successfully with
standing the recent high tides and rough
seas along the Atlantic coast and afford
ing absolute protection 10 the Manhattan
Beach property. This strength. however,
was only what those familiar with the
wall expected, as the wall was designed
and constructed to meet just such emer-
gencies.
While other places suffered great dam
age from the storms OF week ago yes
terday and the preceding week, practi-
cally no damage occurred at Manhattan
Beach. Considerable spray was, of
course, carried over the wall by the high
winds, but the wall itself. like the Rock
Of Gibraltar. stood the pounding of the
heavy seas without a tremor. careful
examination by the companys engineer.
after each storm. showed that none OF the
heavy rocks of which the wall is con-
s.ructed had been disturbed and that not
the slightest settlement had occurred in
any part OF the wall. The construction
of this wall was begun by the Manhattan
Beach Estates nearly three years ago,
and IT has now been completed from the
Brighton Beach line on the west TO a
point near the easterly end Of the Oriental
Hotel. The wall is from forty 10 nifty
feet I'm width at its base and eight feet
wide at the top, and over 10000 tons of
rock, some OF the rocks weighing from
seven TO ten tons each. have already been
used in its construction.
Some persons thought the wall would
not do what its contractors claimed for
II. After the last two storms the most
skeptical should now be convinced that
Manhattan Beach is absolutely protected
against damage such as the other ocean
front properties have recently expert
enced
There is some talk OF the property
owners AT Sea Bright appealing to the
federal government to construct wall
there similar to the one at Manhattan
Beach as the only means OF preventing
a repetition OF the unfortunate occur
rences OF the last two weeks.
