Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1917-06-15
NORTH WILDWOOD

Probt bly, the test news that has
come to Five Mile Beach in many days
Is the recommendation by the County
Board of Freeholders for a survey for
the new road from Anglesea to Bur-
leigh, across the meadows north of the
Pennsylvania railroad. Already the
engineers are making a survey of the
meadow land at Grassy Sound, find
ing the proposed location for a bridge
across this water way, and it is hoped
that another year will see this badly
needed high way opened and dedicated
to public use. With this road in oper-
alton, Wildwood could say, and truth
fully, that it is half an hour nearer to
Philadelphia than 1t formerly was by
automobile route, as 1t takes fully a
half hour more time through Wild wood
junction via the Rio Grande road to
any point in North Wildwood than it
would by way Of this proposed road
into the northerly end Of Anglesea.
This will likewise saws the wear and
tear on Rio Grande road, allowing the
machines to come In the northern end
of the beach and go out the lower end.
