Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-12-06

r1ety given to this matter IN last weeks
JOURNAL has increased the demand
for his White Leghorn and White
Brahma eggs. Who says 1t doesn't
pay to ad vertise? The license fee in
Wildwood for selling butter, eggs and
poultry is $40, but MI. Ryan says this
does not apply to eggs of your own
production. He claims this schedule
ia the Wild wood mercantile license or
dinance only applies to persons who
buy eggs and then offer them for sale
again; besides, Mr.. Ryan remarked
that the government encourages the
home production of poultry, eggs and
other edible things. So Mrs. Samuel
D. Cooper's argument Of a special tax
for MI. Ryan for selling eggs is COM
batted by the two pleas aforesaid.
E. T. Nye, superintendent Of the
West Jersey Electric company, was
present at yesterdays meeting, osten-
sibly the bearer of good news; for the
Mayor announced that a satisfactory
understanding had been arrived at be-
tween the company and Edward E.
Rhoads relative to the rate to be char
ged Mr.. Rhoads during the season of
1919 for light and power necessary to
operate his big amusement projects.
So sit is a 60" at last and Mr.. Rhoads
now has a clear track; the clear white
light signal is displayed and he has
fright of way"
Injecting come to order" said Mayor
Smith at 2.05 In q tone as bland and
gentle as if speaking to a lamb, and at
2.13 the minutes of the previous week
stood approved on motion of Ryan and
Hendee. The reading of the financial
report was next In order, and showed
that for the whole month of November
the tax receipts aggregated the sum Of
$~10,545.4I, and that water rents collec-
ted for the week ending November 30,
amounted to $40 04. When the COM
missioner OF highways and public inn
provements was asked to report, he
said he had nothing to mention, except
in regard to the interior of the disposal
plant. As 1t is now, Mr.. Hendee says
it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to heat the
building, and urged the necessity of
plastering the walls and constructing a
ceiling with Beaver board OF some
other similar material. 1t was his be-
lief that the sum of $3.50 would be suf-
ficient to cover this very necessary
completion Of the interior Of the plant
