To The Citizens and Taxpayers
City of Wildwood

There's a misleading mmuI An that the members of the wndwOoiP Progressive AaOdadOn ARE agn"
the project of moving thu boardwalk quito Beach Avenue We do hvr this proposition but only when the
opohne 6h and the financial ndhnsd or City will warrant to undeake amOvmemw which will
aha great amont of@pd to complete TIT work in all its details
According to thu figures given out tuOudh have mH one hundred and forty houandd mnn build
ondwaHonB Beach Avenue rom Cedar Crosse Avenue. This amount is for bondwak. only, without
gmg system or any, approaches Give at @hs rect as pHped)@ ed wNhe specially the lowe @nn'
have be on@hmbe length, as the new walk would strike 9hwaaa Garfield Avenue and WILDE
at Young Avenue 200 Get and at Crosse Avenue about 600 fmm the water hhghva mark; the erection of
h@ea approaches would add wny thousand dollars or meo the abem sum.
The lots outside the present boardwalk are now assessed dmt to teh ghwtr mark and event the
is moved QUIT here will no more mcome as no more lot can be assessed until the hghwman

as has no improvements ch@ Streets sewers, water etc. whnhn install would mna another considerable
ouhy fmneE
There men numerous ohmr reasons to be mentioned, put considering only bea stated sa and tn en@
nous outlay ofmong,w we have come to the conclusion that the other and much more pressing needs should bel
taken @eo first an we will. mention only hw of thu moam important
Protection from fire is "a great problem and should be taken up in 0n to reduce the high rate of mf fire
fires we anna refrain to call your aueMn to the act that bte duty of om City Commissioners supply
them with the necessary equipments. The city has at present one good fire engine b@n@ one old one which
wenyfu thousand dollars.
Thief ward fire house is in acourdbec condition and twill require baween seven and eight thousand
W. woud also umt in order to make the service more efficient to have more paid rmn
The old gaveed streets in he emd and third wards from her railroad to Atlantic Avenue should bel
med s in the first ware; the cement CUTTERS which the Commissioners recently ordered h
property owners to put in. would them e useful
The collection and disposal offs garbage is "a serious problem and ways ant means for prompt 0hemon should
be found at once In tn near future we need mcne"uon plants f@ wet and dry garbage for which improve
mt ponds would haen be issued
The Commissioners have planned to drain es mne water in the frtw art weh of the railroad, which is
necessary and would cost d~tt twenty thousand dollars
Our whole drainage system is too small; we should therefore build hgem sewer probably a trunk
the old system. which sewer would also nnd nme new section"
On account of all the housed drainage mpyng in the back channel, deg grade of the new mh will rise
Pacific Avenue to hep proposed new walk; tsw Will throw the H@" water from the ne" se@n !" F@0
Avenue and willie Meg greater foods than lever before
Therefore, twill be eeaaym construct for this surface waters had x@wesC y wOh a inches
in dhae) With s at each intersection of Streets from Pacific Avenue to thee ocean each about twelve nun
beach and w0Wd cost not less thu myf eh thousand dollars
From the above you will learn what great amount OF money will needed fort eim immediate and
pressing needs
We submit the amef acts to your unbiased judgment
