boardwalk. 1t has been decided u
locate this public station outside TIT
boardwalk. Hon. John A. Ackley
was a potent factor in switching thu
commissioners from their original plar
to build this station on the westside o
the boardwalk. MI. Ackley made 1
very plausible and a forcible protest IL
the matter last Monday morning at Il
O'Clock, when he met the commissioner
at the point designated. Mr.. Aekley''
eIoquence swept all before it, and the
commissioners seemed like puny play
things in his skillful hands. oh! thai
we had a man like Mr. Ackley fol
Mayor of this swelling city!
Jesse G. Coombs appeared before the
commissioners to submit an estimate
for beautifying the plot of ground OPP
posite the Pennsy depot on the east
He agreed to do the work for the season
for the sum of 5000. His estimate was
accepted and the contract awarded to
him. Mr.. Coombs' Industry and ener-
gy in the line of landscape gardening
are we'll known, and he is to be COM
mended for his altruistic efforts, for "a
thing of beauty is a joy forever"
The final act before the curtain fell
at $50, was the introduction OF an or
dinance appropriating $4,000 for the
public comfort building referred to.
This sum should be sufficient to give
us a pretty nice pagoda.
