and dedication of the Absecon Boulevard
by the County Board of Freeholders and
the special dedication committee, of which
Edward A. Wilson was the chairman.
Mr.. Geist, one of the heads of the Sea-
view Golf Club, numbered among his
guests many political friends, city and
county officials.
In addition to making a large addition
to the Seaview Golf Clubhouse. the con-
~struction of which is now in full swing,
promoters of the Club have contracted Tor
extensive improvements soon to be made
along and near the bay front. Philadel-
phia contractors have already begun to
deliver their mechanical equipment there
in readiness for operations. Among other
improvements it is planned to erect a
sea retaining wall along the bay front

Rumors are afloat to the effect that a
representative of the Victor Talking
Machine Company. of Camden, has made
several recent inspections of property in
the vicinity of the Absecon Boulevard,
east of Illinois avenue and the railroad,
with the view of purchase. Properties
facing the water fronts and abutting the
meadows are being sought, it is under
stood, but whether for private use, Specu-
lation. or commercial urpos is a mat
ter of conjecture. What Absecon needs
is more local employment. Let's hope it
will be a reality some day.
