Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-08-29


from Mr.. Byrne, the Skeeball man on
the boardwalk, 10 the effect that he
(Byrne) could put them in touch with
a man who offers TO remove all gar
bage and other waste material free of
charge. The Mayor grasped at this
proposition and hastily exclaimed:
"Why that is the kind of man We are
looking for! Send him along" 1t
was ex plained to the assemblage yes
teTday that the maker Of this apparent
ly generous offer, would come out all
right, as the by-produets from garbage
are valuable, and even waste paper,
rags and other dry, castof substances,
could be turned to profit by one who
knows how. Mr.. Heinle thought the
construction of an incinerating plant
somewhere out along the sounds would
effectually solve the garbage and waste
aper question to the satisfaction of all
concerned. Many citizens will concur
in this opinion.
Yesterday was the date scheduled
for the introduction OF the ordinance
appropriating The SUI of 500 900 for
building a new boardwalk out at the
oceans edge, and running south from
the foot of Cedar avenue. This ac-
counts for the large attendance at the
commissioners meeting yesterday.
Their attorney explained that owing
to a defect In the advertisement of the
"Notice of Intention" this proposed
new boardwalk ordinance cannot now
be brought up until Thursday, Sep
TENDER 11th. The "Notice of Intent"
was first az advertised in the Sun Tribune
The attorney for the commissioners
found an error in the wording Of the
advertisement, and 1t therefore beca me
incumbent upon the city to re-adver-
tise their intention to introduce thu
proposed appropriation ordinance for a
new boardwalk ocean ward. Still an
other defect was discovered in the Sun
Tribune ad. When Solicitor Hand re-
ported these mistakes to the commits
sioners yesterday, he stated that The
paper did not follow his copy, and
that therefore the introduction of the
ordinance at the date specified would
be Illegal. The notice VISIT order
ed published in the JOURNAL.
Charles Heinle proved himself to be
a very level-headed man. AT yester-
days meeting he gave some very for
chile reasons why the board walk
should not be moved out at this tine.
All efforts of Commissioner Ryan to
rattle Mr.. Heinle or discomfort him,
failed. For once Mr.. Ryan met his
match. Mr.. Heinle kept his head and
always came up smiling after every
pass and clinch. 1t made the specta-
tors laugh when Heinle referred to the
river on Pacific avenue; and spoke of
6-inch sewer pipes as ''truuk line"
sewers. Mr.. Heinle told Mr.. Ryan
that he (HeinIe) knew Ryan in Phila-
delphia, long before the latter came to
Wildwood.
1t was decidedly interesting to hear
Mr.. Heinle tell these present commits
sioners how many vital and pressing
preliminary matters they are overlook
Ing or neutrality-suspicious. far more
important and urgent than this board
walk removal proposition, per Sc. In
regard to the proposed referendum,
Mr.. Heinle asked, in all humility, if
property owners only could vote on
that proposed occasion? He was hur-
riedly apprised Of the fact that every
qualified voter may cast a ballot in the
boardwalk referendum election-re-
gardless of the fact as to whether he
owns property or not. This point was
illustrated when the citizens of Wild
wood voted on the water works propo-
sition-which was carried through
with little effort, on the part Of the
promoters. Some n growled in an
undertone, but loud enough for the re-
porter's sharp ear to catch: better
pay for the old boardwalk before We
try to build a new one." This cut
deep; but sounded like good horse
sense"
The city's Golfers being almost de-
pleted, a resolution was introduced
aud passed, authorizing a plan to bor-
low $3.50 on notes at the rate of six
per cent interest. Solicitor Hand said
this resolution was in accordance with
the State la WIS of 1919, under the head
of an emergency fund. 1t appears that
when hard-pressed for funds, any
municipality may borrow under the
provision of this Emergency Act re-
ferred to. 1t was almost $40 when
adjournment was moved and carried.
