HIGH SCHOOL, AUDITORIUM
Convalescent Soldiers are Expected to be Present to Relate
Their Experiences. Music by the Wildwood Band. All Invited
HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

The sum of 5000 has now been tackled
on as a rider, swelling the total APP
preparation for public advertising pur-
poses to $40, 500. If the baseball man.
agement cannot accomplish all epairs
needed for the sum of 5000 as now ar
ranged for, a further ecourse to bor-
rowing will be necessary. The chances
are that a strong effort will be made
to keep the cost of the baseball work
within the limit of the present approp-
ria'ion. After consulting Mr.. Nye, the
superintendent of the electric light
company, it was found improbable
to light up a part of the boardwalk
lamps, as asked for by Clayton Lowe
at the last meeting. A separate dyna-
mo generates the current for the board
walk incandescent lamps. This dyna-
mo has not been running all winter
and the electric company do not wish
to start it before June LIST, when the
whole boardwalk system will blossom
with lig hts. The contract for painting
city hall outside, was awarded to A. s.
Haney at $3.50. Through a misunder-
standing, Mr.. Haney did not bid on
the~inside painting for fret floor of
city hall. He will be asked to make a
supplemental bid. Adolph Anderson's
bid for all of the painting intended was
$3.50, and A. X. Blinn's bid 1867. Mr..
Haney will be required TO name a fig
ure at once for the inside work, and
should he quote the sum of $780, SO, or
any amount less than that, he will car
ry off both of the prizes. M. S. Cum
Minis presented a bill of Sl16.95 for
work done on city park, between Oak
and Wildwood avenues, west OF the
railroad. At a joint meeting of the
members of the Let and Sd ward fire
companies, Edgar Eldredge was de-
cided upon for the position Of assistant
fire chief, to take the place of H. s.
Dlnham, resigned. The selection
made by the companies was satisfac-

tory to the Commissioners and Mr..
Eldredge was forthwith appointed. A
communication from Mayor Stevens,
of Cape May City, caused some COM
motionr Cooperation was solicited on
the following points:
Nc hacking license to be issued to a
minor.
Nc hacking license to be granted to
a woman.
A scale of fixed charges to be agreed
upon.
All holders of license tags, to be
bonded.
All these and other suggestions from
Cape May City's Mayor were taken
under advisement. Any licenses of ex-
empted men, If found on persons other
than those originally designated, will
be taken up and annulled. Stanley
nj. Kalbach was present at the meet
ing. His business had reference to ne
gotiations that have been going on for
quite a while to close up his claim
against the city, amounting to about
$1,000. AS an Offset to this, the city has
a bill of 1854 against Mr.. Kalbach
for water, used while building the big
main line sewer and c%ontributory
branches. There was a misunder-
standing and a dispute about some
minor counter claims made by the
city's representatives; but Mr.. Kali
bach's visit yesterday helped to
straighten out all these kinks, and the
payment of balance due him, about
$1246 will likely soo be arranged for
in some manner After the Commits
Nsioners adjourned, a number of citizens
of Wildwood and Wildwood Crest,
in Mayor Smiths Office at city hall
