cannot navigate between these two re-
sorts only at high tide. Some active
individuals have been thoughtful
enough to have a small dredge work at
one point near the Rio Grande bridge,
where the sand is actually bare at high
tide, and at present reports the work of
removing this worst shoal is progress
ing slowly. 1t seems a sin that after
the State has spent so much money to
create a water way such as we rave
that there is no money allowed for
keeping clear the channel. II the In
land Waterway Commissioners would
get together and make a tour Of the
waterway from Cape May to the north
ern end of the State, making soundings
and Measurement and showing to the
legislators next winter the actual con-
dition Of this waterway. much intel
ligent information could be cleaned
thereby.

full nature is desired, clothing as well
as tables. Last week the fish platform
folks, Messrs. Hilton, Taylor and Buck
notified the Fresh Air Home they could

Last week the North Wildwood
beach front wal crowded more than it
has been at any time this summer.
Fishing has been ideal, and as to auto
MODELLING there never was a time when
more machines were on the beach than
the past week. The garages simply
cannot take care of the cars, and rs a
result one can find automobiles parked
in back yards or on la WE or just simpl
standing by the curb. Surf and Central
avenues were humming all day Sunday
with scores of visiting cars, while
Anglesea had q real big day among the
fishermen, aslevery boat was loaded to
capacity.

among Wild wood folks that they would
enjoy Mr.. Martindale's taking up the
singing services on the beach front
this summer, like he used TO In the
good old days. Here's to good
friend, and may he live long and enjoy
good health.
