NORTH WILDWOOD.

The association went on record a.
advocating the proposed Boulevard to
the mainland extending on the norther-
ly side of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and Andrew s. Murphy, assistant di-
rector of supplies of Philadelphia, was
appointed a committee of one to look
into the proposition and report back to
the association as to where and how
the association car most help to put
this matter through. The association
also took up the matter of street lights
and the improvement in streets, which
according to comment among the tax
payers can be kept in better shape than
they are being kept. Much adverse
comment was made over the fact that
many of the leading streets were grass
gro wn in the cutters and even in the
streets themselves and bumps and ruts
are to be found in many of the promin-
ent t%horofares, while the tar PROPOSE
ton on Pennsylvania avenue, the troll
ley line, has been the cause of continual
complaint on the part OF the summer
visitor, who, after stepping in the soft
tar, ruin white shoes and clothes and
track it into the houses where valuable
rugs and floors are badly damaged.
