RESOLUTIONS

WHEREAS, The Board of Education
in the City of Wildwood, have refused
the use Of the Auditorium in the High
school building to the Byron Penning-
ton Croker Post, No. 1874, Of the Ameri-
can Legion, for the purpose of holding
a minstrel show, for the purpose of es-
tablishing a fund to furnish a legion
room In the proposed Liberty building.
Now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
The Byron Pennington Croker Post,
No. 1874, of the American legion, located
at Wild wood, N. j., in regular meeting
assem- led do hereby express our regrets
of this action, believing the said action
does not represent the opinions OF de-
sires OF the taxpayers and citizens OF
the City of Wildwood, and cannot be
justified by any sound reasoning.
We do not ask any privileges that
have not been accorded to other citizens,
but it had been distinctly understood
that the Auditorium was built for the
purpose OF furnishing a place for just
such purposes as this, and the Board of
Education, through the schools freely
circulated cards to parents, soliciting
their sanction, of parents and tax
payers to advocate a building of such
dimensions as to permit OF the construc-
ton Of an auditorium, and at the addi-
tional cost involved, and having been
denied the use OF the building for the
aforesaid purpose we feel their action
deserves public condemnation, and that
they are assuming a position that can
not be defended.
Shall the custodians of the High
school building have more power than
the owners?
