look out for Thursday, September
2sh. That is gong to ne a red-letter
d0. We wish that the Honorable
ian A. Ackley could be induced TO be
pesent at that meeting to outline the
vet expenses that are inevitably INK
ed up In this undertaking. 1t wonl
fairly make your head swim. Person
aN he may be in favor of the proposed
Change, but as an able business man,
h, caunot truthfully shut his eyes TO
tie enormous expense to the city to
emplete the job. If this board walk
reasure passes, it lie believed by some
citizens that the tax rate may go
'kitingp up to the four dollar marx
Ext year.
A vote of thanks was extended to the
forth Wildwood and Angleses fire

smoke and flame, menacing for a

"Phonix-like," a new brick building,

red ruins. Mark B. Reeves is now en-
gagged in drawing up the plans for an

Of which is to be begun as soon as the
debris can be removd.
Charles HeinIe askd the Mayor II
the board walk was a speedway Tor
bicyclists? The answer was that bicy-
cIists were not supposed to Use 1t at all,
and that some Of them might have
been put in the slug" if Heine a
only done bis duty by reporting the
offenders to the police force.
When Heinle sprung upon a mixe'
and unsuspecting audience the BLASE'
subject of this seasons ULTRA bath
ing togs, the Mayor brought him up
with a jerk 10y saying: II guess the
sights didn't hurt YOUR eyes, did
they?" Some persons possess so little
artistic taste that the Mayor was al
most compelled yesterday to drive into
their tbeaus" with a sledge hammer,
as it were, the intrinsically poetic truth
that "beauty unsdorned is adorned the
most!" "Cold nothings," these carp
ing, csustic critics, his honor might
have added.
AT 8 II a motion to adjourn was in
order and was carried.
Immediately after adjournment,
John T. Byrne and Edward johnson,
ST., inquired OF the city clerk if she
had on her minutes a resolution au-
thorizing the republication of the
"Notice of Intention" to Introduce the
b ,ardwalk ordinance on September 25?
When she said mo, it was forgotten, y
there was a hasty consultation and a
special meeting was called at once,
the same being convened at 1922. The
resolution was then offered by Solicitor
Hand, directing that the "Notice OF
Intentn be published twice again in
the JOURNAL, so as to cover the statu-
tory period Of ten days as required by
law. The question Of the legality OF
this act (being done in special session.
was raised by Messra. Byrne and John
son. They claim such a resolution,
involving an appropriation of money
may be passed at a regular meeting
only. Fate seems to be against this
pet, political plum tree'' ordinance
When the document went up in
smoke, 1t was hoped that it would bt
allo to rest a year or two. Th'
Especial" session ended at 1928, city
time.
AS usual, the JOURNAL reporter go
his share of the 'knocks" yesterday
the Mayor singing him out at the clos'
of the performance and referring to wha
a variety of interesting things he coult
report. At the close of last week
equally as sensational meeting, Geo.
Stein, perched up high, wanted oknoV
If ''all this is to go into the JoURNAL?'
The reply was; "What is not rank
we must draw a line somewhere.
Commissioner Ryan suggested that
might be well for the JOURNAL to ge
out an "extra sheet or supplement" t
cover all the highly-wrought features
