raised at the meeting to defray PIX

to form what will be known as a Sea-
shore League of every basket ball team
along the coast. Already the Morris
Guard League, of Atlantic City, and
the teams at Ocean City, Wild wood
and Cape May have been approached
and a favorable answer is ex pected in
the Dear future. Games will now be
scheduled and will be with the leading
clubs of nearby resorts and Philadel-
phia. In place of the victrola formerly
used during the play of the teams, a
three-piece orchestra will be engaged
which will furnish music for dancing
after the game is over. Season tickets
sold under the old management will be
honored by the new Club which con

The hearing of the Cape May County
Tax Board at Cape May Court House
last week resulted In a radical reduc-
ton In North Wildwood beach front
assessments. Harrison II. Voorhees,,
represeD ting Leveret Newcomb and
Henry II. Ottens, claimed hat the land
east of Surf avenue and from Sixteenth
to about Fifth avenues, assessed at
1853. 125, was entirely unjust for specific
causes named and q consequent reduce
tion to $75, 900 was made, making a net
reduction In the form of assessed valua-
ton of S88, 125. The assessment of
Henry I'll. Ottens' beach front was re-
duced 81, 500. 1t was contended that
while the value of the Wild wood tract
was high it was largely speculative and
future, and this view was taken by the
county board. The borough was repre-
sented by its Counsel j. Fithian Tatem.

ROADWORk IN
POLK COUNTY IS
PROGRESSING
SATISFACTORILY

The Lakeland Advertiser man has
taken a trip over the roads that are
now being constructed, and we con-
slider his observations and deduc-
lions to be of sufficient interest to
pass on to our readers. His article
follows:
The Advertiser man had the pleas
'ure of taking trip over a large part
of the good roads now under con-
struction and to any one who is in
doubt as to how the work is being
done and the progress being made
We would recommend doing likewise.
We had opportunity to see the
work in all it's stages. Sections
where work has just started; work
where the grading is under way;
sections where clay is being rolled
preparatory to putting down the
final surface of asphalt, and then the
supreme pleasure of a smooth fast
ride over the completed section.
We also visited the asphalt heat
ing and mixing plant, and clay pit
where the materials are prepared by
experts in each particular line and
the work done under the watchful
supervision of men well versed in
the knowledge of what constitutes
REAL material for GOOD PERMA-
NENT Cor as near permanent as is
possible to construct) roads, and
who are fully determined that Polk
county shall get one hundred cents
value for every dollar she is spend
ing for road construction
| Everywhere we went work was be-
| ing pushed as rapidly as good con-
struction would allow, and every
man on the job seemed to take per-
sonal pride in his own particular
part of the work, and the spirit
shown seemed to be that of a deter
mination to get the best possible re-
suits.
| AS far as we could observe, and
we were given a wide-open oppor-
tunity to see all that there is to see,
the interests of the tax-payer-who
is paying the bill-are fully safe
guarded, as far as human foresight
can provide. Thorough tests are
made by three separate sets Of chem
lists of all material used, the asphalt
mixture at the mixer being sampled,
end again sampled after being laid,
and then these reports are checked
one against the other and the final

ing Telegram, as I do certainly ap-
preciate the great favor that you
have SO kindly extended to me. The
paper has been a comfort and joy
to me in my lonely and sad hours
And / only wish that l was in po-
sition to pay you for it, but that is
impossible at this time, as l have no
money and no way of getting any.
There are many things that would
like to have, but cannot get them
for the lack of funds. l am taking
a course in public speaking, and
need books, but am unable to secure
tkem at this time on account Of

1 can with what l have to do with.

in the work of retaining broken
men, and 1 must say that he has
been very successful in his work
here. He is our "BIG BROTHER

that I am preparing myself under
him to take up evangelistic work
when I get out of this institution,
as / feel that God has great work
for me to do when leave here. I

lcan surpass ours in soundness u
Judgment, ready grasp OF the im-
portant points in any question .na'

Each individual member OF the
board shows plainly by word ana az
tion that he has the true interests
Of the county at heart and deter
m;nat;on to do his full duty in as far
as he is able to see It.
We attended a meeting OF the coih-
missioners in the afternoon ana we
now know of one job at least that
we do NOT banker to fill, and that
is the office of County Commissioner
for we feel that we are lacking IN
sufficient patience, tact and the out
extraordinary judgment required
to satisfactorily fill the office.
After listening to the varied pc
titions that a number of committees,
self-appointed and otherwise, pre-
sented, we came to the conclusion
that the job of County Commission
er was anything but a sinecure
In this single meeting there were
five or six separate petitions laid be-
fore the board-some of them con-
flicting with others presented at the
same time-some with merit, others
that were so plainly unreasonable,
end utterly selfish as to make an
ordinary spectator wonder at the
effrontery of the petitioner, yet all
had to be met and settled. To do this
with the least possibl e friction
called for degree of Judgment that
but comparatively few men possess
and the able manner in which the
matters were disposed of by the
board was sufficient evidence that
the county affairs are indeed in the
hands of men who are not only able,
but are conscientiously trying to
carry out the will of the people and
doing it mighty we'll, in honesty and
Justice to all.
