Balance 285. OF
As Mr. Greaves, on the baseball pro-
position, was out money to the extent
OF $31l.00, Treasurer Norton handed
him a check for $4,000 to reimburse
him.
Andrew Mum, of 128 E. Maple ave
nue., was present and placed a propo-
sition before the meeting, in reference
to the advertising of Wild wood by
motion pictures which would be show
in the best Of theatres in any four states
which the Board would select, the total
cost being $1,000. Mr.. Mum, who is
a pensioned New York fireman and
now a resident of Wildwood, explained
that 1t would take three days to take
the pictures and would include the
fire department In action, school fire
drill, life saving stations and other
organization of the city, together with
any other features that the Board
would desire. MI. Mum stated that
he would accompany the films of 1000
l6Eb cACu I'll thCll CllCulu vi 015RlHJ
aud would see that any advertising
they wished would be distributed.
mt. Harrison, together with Mr.. Nor
ton and Mr.. Crane thought it advisable
to wait and If any thing was done in
this line, to get it next season when we
could have some of u parades and
carnivals taken, which would make
an impression IN the people who view
them. These thoughts were consider
ed very good and after considerable
debate, the project was referred to the
Advertising committee with instruc-
lions to consult the Ways and Means
committee in regards to their appro-
priation for the season of 1915. Mr..
Laning suggested that Il the Board had
any photograph of quality Of the island
he would do what he could with the
New Jersey Commission, who are
friends of his, towards placing same
in the New Jersey Building at the
Panama Exposition at San Francisco.
This suggestion increased the enthusi-
asm of those present and Mr.. Norton
took the floor and asked that an illu-
minated sign of Wildwood be obtained
and placed In the Penna. r.. r. Ter
minal in New York City like the one
of Atlantic City and Asbury Park.
The sign they considered was two oil
paintings, 2 feet by 8 feet, lit up with
electric lights. Mr.. James signified
his intention of doing what he could
to have the sign so placed.
MI. Baker was appointed a commit
tee of one to interview the Penns. R.R.
relative to maintaining and advertising
the Sunday dollar excursions, as it is
believed Sunday, December 9th, is
the last Sunday excursion. Mr.. Dia-
mond asked Mr.. Baker while he was
interviewing the officials, to also ask
what had been done relative to the
Saturday. Sunday excursion for the
sum of 81. so.
The next matter of business was the
consideration of an enclosed pavilion
or sun parlor for excursionists, which
was laid on the table. At this time,
Mr.. HARRISON took the floor and stated
that the time had come when the
Wildwood Board of Trade had become
a business house doing a big business
to the extent Of thousands OF dollars,
and he thought that the organization
should appoint q lsecretary, have an
Office open every day for ten hours,
and the secretary receive a yearly salary
and be responsible for bringing conven-
lions and excursions to the island.
Mr.. Hafbison's idea mel with the APP
prevail Of those present and a motion
was passed referring ii to the Ways
and Means committee.
President Baker then appointed his
committees for the coming year, which
were follows:
WAYS AND MEANS
Robert J. Kay, G. A. Norton, Heber
Crane, George N. Smith, G. II. Hup-
pert.
