about the electric lighting service given

installed and charges made according

money on the summer service to the
beach and very little profit on the win

suggestion at this time. People on
Juniper avenue, west Of the railroad,
complained of lack of electric light SER
vice and lamps were ordered placed on
that avenue between Pacific and At
lantic and the railroad and New York

delegation of bathing house proprietors,
stated that it had become q practice
among bathers to travel the streets and
boardwalk in abbreviated bathing cos
tunes which he claims is indecent and
asked the commissioners to frame an
ordinance regulating this condition.

streets and cutters and otherwise dis
turbing same was passed, alsosan Or
dinance for a bond to the amount of
$3.50, 900 for the purchase of the water
