Curt g. Graef, who lives in an apart
ment house on east Wildwood avenue,
near the beach, was a mplainant
against the jazziest of jazz bands said
ever to have played in Wildwood.
This "band" has been "splitting the
air" for the past week at Casino Dance
land, much to the annoyance of Mr..
Graef and others domiciled in that vi
cinity. According to his statements.
no words strong enough can be found
to adequately convey a description OF
the unearthly sounds with which this
aggregation Of jazz artists ''make night
hideous." The Mayor promised to
have the "soft pedal" put on this al
legged cratic conglomeration of sounds.
b. G. Ingersoll, the newly appointed
health officer, was present at the meet
ing and told the Commissioners that
he had been the recipient of at least a
dozen unsigned communications dur
ing the past week in regard to various
complaints coming under the head of
his department. He wishes it to be
known that all anonymous letters will
go unheeded and unanswered. No one
should hesitate to sign his or her name
to any communication concerning the
public health or welfare.
The irrepressible Mrs. Wardell had her
inning, too, at this meeting. "She's
not the kind that's slow; q bred and
born New Yorker, I'd have you
know" and she took a fling at our
new Mayor, criticising him for derelic-
ton of duty when he was a plain street
commissioner. She threw a bouquet
at the present street commissioner,
complimenting him for accomplishing
for her IN a few weeks what the former
street director had failed to accomplish
in three years. Mrs. Wardell exclaim-
ed, In her exclusive manner. that she
was living In the bushes in the vicinity
of Bennett and Arctic n She
begged of the commissioners that they
come to her rescue In cutting down
high grass aud weeds and poison ivy.
She made our solons shudder as she
graphically told Of discovering a
mother and child plucking the richly
colored leaves of poison ivy rear her
home to be a composite part Of a bou-
quet Of wild flowers the visitors were
arranging. So earnestly did Mrs.
Wardell present this phase of the case,
that a war of determination on poison
ivy do wn there is sure to follow.
Samuel Jameson, Of the Overlook
apartments, ON east Roberts avenue,
introduced a novel method of object
ing to distractions on sidewalks, by
Jay ing down on the legislative table

alleged distractions on Roberts avenue,
