MAN REMEMBERS
NAPOLEON IN 1912

Vienna, Oct. 15.-The war corre-
spondent of the Zeit in one of his re-
cent dispatches records that while
passing through Volhy1ia he met
villager of Karpilovka who saw Ma
poleon on his way to Moscow in 1872.
The man had recently celebrated his
hundred and thirteenth birthday, and
himself related that as a boy of nine
he had seen the great French en-
peror. The man is still in good health
and what makes his longevity so re-
markable is that he has lived all his
life in a marshy district commonly
regarded as unhealthy.

A Great Saving TO County and
Company

What are the economies to be effected
and what are the practical conditions
to be considered :?
First aud foremost there is a saving
to the county OF two bridge structures
at Townsend's inlet, and two or three
at Corson's inlet, both of which inlets
are now bridged for steam traffic by the
Pennsylvania railroad. The proposed
plan, as discussed at the meeting, in
volved the decking over by the railroad
company of the Corson's inlet aud
Townsend's inlet bridges, in order to
make them available for automobile
and wagon traffic. They would, of
course, be rallied along the SIDE and 1t
is possible that turnouts might be in
stalled, as the bridges could not be u-ed
by automobiles or vehicles, while cleo
trio cars were cros-ing, not being wide
enough for both at the same time.
The expense that the county would
be saved through the use of these
bridges is great. There would be furth-
er economies effected In maintenance
and operation charges.
From the railroads. standpoint the
saving would be equally as great, rs
the railroad company would get the
use of the county's bridges, If built,
across Hereford inlet and at Cold
Spring inlet, or the bridge which may
be built to Schellengers Landing in
place of the proposed bridge at Cold
Spring inlet.
or course, the bridges built by the
county would have to be constructed
somewhat more heavily than they
would be, II designed to carry automo-
bile travel alone. They would have to
be substantial enough to carry a high
speed inter-urban electric car. But this
ex pense would not add so very much
to the cost Of the structure. 1t is prob
able that a solution of the equities in
volved, would be arrived at by calcu-
latiDg the cost of all bridges involved
and arranging for a portion of the ex-
pense of the bridge system to be shared
by the railroad company with the
county in case the proposition would
involve q greater expense to the coun-

Cape May County and the Pennsyl-

with lifelong friends, both possessed
Of strong personalities, the acquain-
tanceship has not been without its diff

were, perhaps, microscopic phases of
the nation wide attitude of community
and corporation AS such they possess
an historic interest, but with the pres
ent meeting they have nothing to do.
They are referred to now merely to en-
phasize the altered view point shared
by the public and big business.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1916-10-20

both the county and railroad com pany
have at this moment to secure not only
through automobile service along the
coast from Ocean City to Cape May,
but a high speed electric service as well.
Such a connection with Atlantic City
and Philadelphia means everything to
the lower coast resorts. Ocean City's
great growth in the past ten years dated
from the Inauguration Of electric ser
vice to Philadelphia and Atlantic City,
just as its former greatest impetus came
from the building of the Reading con-
nection.
Growth Due TO Improved Trans
pOrtatIOn
Stone Harbor's development is at
tributable to its meadow boulevard and
its Reading railroad connection.
The growth of Wildwood, North
Wildwood, Holly Beach and Wild
wood Crest was vastly stimulated by
the opening of the Holly Beach boule-
ward as a first-class road about a dozen
years ago and by the building of Cen
trail avenue aud the construction of the
Wild wood and Delaware Bay Short

Avalon; R. P. Risley, Of Stone Harbor,
and County Engineer Leaning Rice.
The position of the two entities, Cape
May county and the Pennsylvania rail-
road, on this question Is about like this:
Cape May county must increase its
population In order to reduce its tax
rate.
The Pennsylvania railroad must in
crease its earnings on the Cape May
county branch of the West Jersey divi-
sion to prevent a deficit.
In other words, more people mean a
lower tax rate in the county and a lar
ger revenue for the railroad.
Here then, county and company
have a common ground to stand on
a joint purpose to serve.
Now, the county has about come to
the conclusion that the first thing to do
to secure population is to increase trans
portation facilities. Hence, the pro-
posed "All Resort Automobile Route.n
And the railroad company appears
to be of the opinion that the long talked
of electric service between Cape May
county resorts and Atlantic City and
Philadelphia would largely increase its
meagre income oil the Cape May coun-
ty line.
