road from Ocean City to Stone Harbor
and its extension to Cape May, was
discussed Tuesday between officials OF
the railroad and representatives of the
county and coast resort governments
and Chamber of Commerce. The meet
ing was held at the office of President
w. w. Atterbury at Broad street sta
ton. Six members of the Board of
Freeholders, the Mayors of Wild wood
Crest and Stone Hafbor, and City Com
missioners from Wild wood and Cham
Der of Commerce members from Sea
Isle City, Avalon and Stone Harbor
were present. Discussion centred on
the joint use for automobiles and cleo
trio cars of the railroad bridges at Cor
sons and To wnsend's inlets, in con-
nection with the joint use of the pro-
posed county bridges at Hereford and
Cold Spring inlets. An agreement OF
this kind, it was pointed out, between
the county aud the railroad company
would result in a saving of thousands
of dollars to both In bridge copstruc-
ton, operation and maintenance. 1t
would also reduce the number of
bridges across inlets or thoroughfares,
which interfere more or less with navi-
cation. The advantages of a high speed
inter.resort electric service from Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City to Cape May
were d welt upon, and the benefits that
the railroad company and the resorts
would derive were discussed. The
elimination of the dangerous grade
crossings on the mainland aoove Cape
May vas urged by the railroad officials.
The bridge matter was referred to
County Engineer Leaning Rice, and
James E. Buckelew, superintendent,
for an agreement a. to tentative plans
for the joint use of the present and pro-
posed bridges. The engineers were
given instructions to get to work on
plans.
