REHOBOTH BEACH.

There is much excitement about the
boardwalk, and some criticism of the
commissioners who have practically de-
cided to reconstruct the boardwalk six
feet from the new bulwarks This will
cost most of the $4,000 the Legislature
authorized the town to borrow Many
are of the opinion that the taxpayers
should be consulted-first, about the
SO, 900 new indebtedness placed on the
town, and second, for what purposes it
shall be employed.
What is a boardwalk There is no
such word in the dictionary. At Atlantic
City, there being no bluff, a boardwalk
was constructed in its place in front of
the shops facing the ocean, and in front
of these shops it has been great success,
but beyond the shops-at Chelsea, Vent
nor and Longport-it isas quiet and peace
tul as at Cape May or a graveyard lane
1t is the shops that make the boardwalk
a success.
Rehoboth has been up against it for
wears. Thousands come annually, and
go away vowing never to return "a hor-
rid hole; nothing but a boardwalk, no
amusements, nothing doing" etc
All resorts need a promenade. Reho-
both has the bluffs the only bluffs south
of Long Branch. Back of the new bull
warks on the bluff overlooking the ocean, |
and strand, there is ample room for a
unique and beautiful walk, and the money
that the boardwalk would cost would
permit recreation pier. with music and
dancing, fishing and happiness galore.
The streets are in very neglected con
dition, because for the last twenty years
about half the taxes have been expended
repairing Surf avenue, which has now
gone forever. First street must become
the connecting thoroughfare. It needs
months of hard work. The bridge over
Henlopen Lake is unsafe. The town
needs the money that for years has been
expended on the front.
A boardwalk without a town may be
the sad plight of Rehoboth The tax
payers should be consulted.
