1913 Taxes all Paid

The tax sale of Wildwood Crest prop
critics advertised in last weeks issue of
the Journal to take place on Saturday,
December 18th, was not necessary to
be held, as the taxes were all paid in
full, largely through the u~ncessing eff
forts of Collector II. w. Lare and Bor-
ough Solicitor w. e. Zeller. This gives
Wildwood Crest the unique and envi-
able record of being almost the only bor-
ough government in this State, with no
delinquent taxes back of 1914, and au-
gurs well for its future.
