June roses, honeysuckle, magnolias
and blue flags Of the meadow lands are
struggling to bloom these early June
days. Flowers In the gardens, as well
as people, have been having discourage
ing days Of it during the continuous
northeast weather. However, the sun
is shining again and delightful weather
Is here again. Everybody knows that
the weather records have been busted
In a dozen different ways during the
past two months but the seashore peo-
pie are forced to be philosophical about
it. The constant winds Of the past two
weeks have whipped the leaves from
the trees and otherwise harmed the
foliage along the seashore and 1t now
calls for a continued period Of sum
shine and warmth to straighten the
gardens out again.
The Borough of North wildwood has
been making numerous strides this sea-
son Ia the way of cleaning up streets
and building new houses. Under
Mayor McLinden our resort has been
given an impetus which is greatly APP
preciated by the property holders. The
police force has been ~reorganized, and
under the new Chief. Bert Thompson
and his several new officers, there will
no doubt be little disturbances during
the excursion season.
One of the unique characters OF this
resort is Fisherman Charles Dugdale,
who when not engaged with his bank
skiff netting the much priced weak
fish on Five Fathom bank or in the
bay, Mr.. Dugdale spends the heavy
weather following his art of burning
on wood. He has recently all but COM
pleted a large board with the original
WAnamaker building, Philadelphia,
burnt thereon, which he Intends, when
completed, to present to Mr.. Wanna
maker. He also burnt a picture of the
Buttonwood Hotel at Darby, Pa, also
a pair of fire horses heads.
The dozen or more pound nets along
the shore during the past two weeks
have sustained serious damage as q
result of the heavy weather, which has
caused a big loss in nets and pilings,
not to speak of no fish for ten days or
two weeks. The pound boats got out
early this week and started to make
repairs. Fish have been bringing high
prices and scarce at that; it is claimed
that weak fish brought at one time $22
per barrel on the platform at Anglesea
which ~ a record price at this time of
the year when fish are plentiful.
Much favorable comment has been
heard on the proposed movement to
build a boulevard from AngleHea to the
shore road at Wild wood Junction,
which road il Is conceded is badly need
ed and will add vastly to the develop
ment of the entire beach. Andrew 8.
