This bea IN has u number of fisher
men. who in the spring go after shad
mp The Della ware Bay. It is reported
that the shad fishing at Bay Side has
been the poorest in the his DRY of this
industry the boats only averaging from
ten to twelve shad a day. Many Of
the shad boats turned TO sturgeon fish
ing which industry is practically dead,
as the sturgeon has been steadily die
appearing for the past len years. List
year possibly 100 sturgeon were caught
by the bay side fishermen, while this
year they have not caught half that
mauy. 1t IL stated that caviar Is Dow
bringing but 60c per pound where laet
year II brought as high al $1.0O at the
fish wharves.
The Camden Ro:ary Club ia making
great preparation for their tiip to this
beach on the 2ad of June, while on the
10Th of July the South street Bu-iness
Mems Association will spend a day
here. Both these organic atoms are
hustling business men and their conn
ing will mean plenty of enjoyment for
all concerned.
The South Jersey Fresh Air Home
have begun their 1915 season and are
preparing to open their coy home on
Thirteenth street, and are redoubliDg
their efforts to extend their splendid
work, and no doubt their friends will
continue to make their ever welcome
donations as often ae in years past.
Too much cannot be done for the little
folks who come here and have q good
time.
1t has been assumed by some that
this season will not prove as success
fnl as some of the seasons heretofore on
account OF present conditions, but dur
ing the paat three months q great
change has come over the money mar
ket which directly affects the workmen
In the majority of the large plants.
This, of course, means rs Wildwood Is
a workingman's town that we will not
suffer as much az supposed. While
the rentals appear to be Of the smaller
class, and the cottages and bungalows
being erected are more or less of the
humble type, at the same time the
accession of these will tend to send Five
Mile Beach considerably forward.
