Building Inspector John Gloeckler
turned In a check for $25 received by
him in his official capacity.

pair broken pavements damaged in

Councilman 6campton stated that a
fire occurred in a new house at the
lower end of the Crest last Sunday
and that an alarm was sent in to the
Wildwood fire department, but that
the Crest fire department was not
notified aud did not know anything
had happened until the big auto en-
CINE came rushing through the street.
He reminded Council of the some
thing like $ls paid every month to a
telephone company for the turning In
of fire alarms and criticised the COM
pany for its failure in its duty. Mayor
Baker suggested that a deduction be
made in the next bill that came before
the Council for this service.
Councilman Rigor stated that an eE-
fort was being made on the island to
raise $1,000 to induce aviator George
Gray to come here again with his fly

understanding that he make some
landings on Crest territory. So ordered.
Ceu1cilman Crane recommended the
appointment of Thomas Young and

A resolution vas presented by 6olic-
itor Zeller setting forth that the
$l2,5 worth of certificates authorized
January l, 1918, for q sewerage dis.
posal plant had been exhausted, and
that it was necessary to issue $10,0 900
more five per cent certificates to COM
plete the system and pipe extensions.
The solicitor explained that only
about $4,000 of this amount was needed
Immediately, and that the balance
would not be issued and draw interest
until Northumberland it necessary.
The revolution was passed Unanimous
ly. Mr.. Rigor announced that he had
two bids for taking care of the electric
al machinery OF the sewerage disposal
plant. One from Thomas Cross for $62
per month and one from w. g. Nnss
at 81. rs per day. The latter was elect
ed to the position to serve during the
pleasure Of Council.
John Gloeckler brought up the sub
ject OF the blockade of the streets by
railroad cars and said 1t was a great
detriment to the renting of rooms and
cottages west of the railroad. Mr..
Aucott also made q telling statement
In behalf of Miss Elizabeth 8. Wright
who owned a cottage on Fern road.
He said that a prospective renter was
down and requested the agent to show
him Miss Wrigbt's house, but when the
auto could moi get across the track be-
cause Of the cars, the agent was told to
turn back, as he could not consider a
location where such a nuisance was
allowed. 1t seems that this obstruc-
ton Of the streets has been going on
some time in spite of the fact that two
members of Council are Pennsylvania
railroad men. One OF the members
especially, who Is credited with being
In charge OF all traffic on the island, 1t
would seem is in a position to prevent
present conditions If he would make q
little effort. The Mayor and ths Coun.
