Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1914-09-04

Total net gain ...... .$59,427 90
1t is interesting to know that in one
years time the net increase of asses
sables In Five Mile Beach amount
ing to $726, 062.O 90 is considerably more
than the entire growth of Stone Harbor
in twenty-five years as the Stone Har-
Dor figures for 1914 show 500, 000.0 or
according to the statement given outky
the operators on that beach. 1t also
shows that the unfair statement which
has been issued by our Ocean City
friends-whether Intentional or not 1t ls
not known,-that Ocean City's. in
crease was $3.50 900, as against Wild
woods $500, 600 Is not exactly correct.
The real estate firm Of Farnum and
Conner went to considerable trouble to
get a correct statement from the va
rious assessors on Five Mile Beach and
figures herewith given are offiial. 1t
will have much to do to quiet the ca
lamity howlers and the persistent
knockers both within our midst and
elsewhere. 1t is stated by one of the
leading builders on Five Mile Beach
that there has been approximately 583
new building operations.
The card party given last week for
the benefit of the South Jersey Fresh
Air Home was the largest affair OF its
kind taking place during the season
now ending. There were thirty tables

table. The ladies in charge Of this
affair headed by Mrs. William G. Dun
can. chairman have been highly com-
mended. So many ladies interested
themselves that 1t is impossible to give
one more credit than another, but

Of tickets were Miss Elizabeth Dankel-
man, Miss Kathryn Ottens, Mrs.
George Ent, and Miss Ida Dukes. The
