or municipal liens of record in my

A second resolution was put through
by unanimous vote, authorizing the
proper city officials to issue and offer
for discount a note in the sum OF
SIS, 200, in anticipation Of the collection
of taxes for the year 1920. This note
was dated August 31st, and made pay

at the option of the city. The rate of
interest is ak per cent. All such notes
must be signed by the mayor, attested
by the city clerk, and be countersigned
by the director of revenue and finance.
A third resolution read as follows:
EtBe it resolved, That on December 3lst,
1921, or at any date prior thereto at its
option, the City Of Wild wood promises
to pay to the order of the City Of Wild
wood, at the Marine National Bank,
the sum of SIS, 600, with interest at the
rate of 6 per cent, without defalcation,

The resolution further recited that
the commissioners thereby had caused
said note TO be executed under its cor
porate seal, and that it was issued to
provide necessary funds to meet emer-
gencies that have been caused by In
creased price of labor and materials in
the work affecting building, fire, police
and life guards, printing. stationery
and postage, sanitation Tor garbage)
and boardwalk, apportioned in serial
order, to wit: $500, 81, 500. $1,000, $500,
$1,000 and $400-total, $4,000. Chapter
242 of the laws of New Jersey for 1918,
and the amendments and supplements
thereof, is given as authority for the
drawing Of the above emergency note.
The First ward %fire-house matter
after a long slumber-was awaked
again last Tuesday, and 1t was found
that, contrary to Llncoln's advice, the
majority commissioners have "swapped
horses in the middle of the stream"
and have selected another architect in
the person of Mark b. Reeves, who
was present with a set of revised plans
and specifications, so modified he said
as to eliminate the use of a certain
quantity of unnecessary material, and
thus permit the %fire-house to be re-
modelled and repaired for a sun not to
exceed the amount of money appro-
priated for the purpose, namely $500.
Lynn H. Boyer had drawn the original
plans and designated the specifications.
No bid at that time could be obtained
falling within the limit. Mr.. Reeves
thinks he has found a way, and a mo-
ton was made to adopt his plans at
once, but the motion wss withdraw
when il was brought to the attention Of
the board that there are now two
architects on this job, as Mr.. Boyer has
not as yet been paid In full and re-
leased. Thus this case was held over
for action until next meeting, when
plans, ETC., may be adopted and bids
advertised for. Mr.. Reeves claims he
can reduce the expanse "by cutting out
the frills." Carpenters and builders
will know what this expression means.
Mayor Hendee favored the building of
new up-to-date First ward fire-house,
something that would have been worth
while and a credit and safeguard to the
city, but he was out-voted at the time
by ex-Mayor Smith and former Finance
Commissioner Ryan.
When communications were called
for the tenacious city clerk first read
this one:
ITO the City Commissioners: Gentle
men-Due to the boardwalk caving in,
!, Mrs. w. Mintzer, of Roxborough,
Pa, was injured internally, also my
back and side are badly strained. My
three children also are suffering from
nervous shock. One of them has a
bruised shoulder. My daughter lost a
mesh bag with So. 40 in it. Her slippers
were torn and the heels ripped off my
own. My eyeglasses were smashed.
My daughter cannot work because of
her v condition. We were taken
to Fitzpatrick's drug store, where we
were treated, and then taken home in
an automobile to 425 west Burk avenue,
where we are staying while in Wild
wood. DR.. Cohen treated me on Friday
