AS a result Of this omission to have
judgment final entered when the de-
cision was made, and which error must
be corrected before actual appeal pro-
ceedings may be begun, action in the
case must naturally be very much pro-
longed. Some persons even venture to
state that a hole year may elapse be-
fore a decision is reached in the Court
of Errors aud Appeals. Until this APP
peal is heard and a decision rendered
the citizens of Wildwood will not
know whether or not the board walk
bonds recently issued will be valid.
A motion was passed re-employing
Helen Ge~isenberger as assistant city
clerk for two weeks longer than the
date specified i'll her letter of resigns-
ton November 15lh), The reason
given WIS that she will not depart for
tie South until December LIT, and that
her services may be needed when the
city clerk takes his vacation. 1t was
stated that he had not had a vaca ion
III liz WYNN Oh Notys lhlClSb(C
is dra wn that he is to be given n vsca
ton ONE time in the present month.
The necessity OF taking early legal
action 10 have the plant Of the Consoli-
da ed Fisheries Company, along Rio
Grande road, declared a nuisance and a
n enance 10 the health and otueE in-
terests of the citizens of Wild wood, was
thoroughly gone into once more, and a
motion was passed 10y the mayor and
Commissioner Bright authorizing and
directing the city solicitor to begin
legal action at once. The first step
requisite is to file a bill of complaint.
The authorities of both Wildwood
Crest and North Wildwood have as
sured the commissioners that financial
aid will be given by them toward the
prosecution of the case. Each of these
municipalities, it is understood, has
agreed 10 bear its shase of the costs en-
tailed in the employment Of counsel to
urge the abatement of the nuisance SO
loudly complaiued Of. On the motion
to go Oh with the matter at once Conn
M ssioner Smith voted nay.
Andrew G. Mum, of the first ward,
who was elected constable on Nov. 2,
took the oath of office at this meeting
of the commissioners. The oath was
administered by the city clerk. The
amount of Mr.. Munn's surety bond
was fixed at $500, to guarantee the
faithful performance by him of the
duties pertaining to the office.
When the reading of communications
was announced the first offering of the
city clerk in this line was a letter dated
at $50 west Berks street, Philadelphia:
II have three lots | wish to sell, Nos.
l3, "a and 25, block I23, adjoining the
Wildwood sewage disposal plant, which
l think the city could use to good adj
vantage. These three lots cost me, up
to the present time, about 81 500. | will
take 5000 for them. Hoping you will
take favorable action, 1 remain, yours
respectfully, g. w. Hosback."
q. Hasson, of 1928 Ludlow street,
Philadelphia, wrote a letter to Com
missioner Bright: 81 have been in
formed by one of tine neighbors in
Wild wood that my property there, on
west Spencer avenue, near the railroad,
is being destroyed-that boys have torn
down the front fence. 1t seems this
happens every year. Now [ think tax
payers should get some protection to
their property. If there is anything
you can do will you kindly let me
knoW.n
The Board of Education referred a
letter to the commissioners: LAS | am
living out of town during the winter
months, and on account of the rush
during the summer months, it is very
difficult for me to attend the meetihg ga
of the Board of Education and give
the attention that should be given to
school matters, l tender my resigDa-
ton, to take effect at once. Clayton S.
Love-"
The resignation was accepted.
But the most interesting letter of all
came from j. G. Lightfoot, of Philadel-
phIs, treasurer of the Wildwood Gas
Co.: "In reference to conference be-
tween you (meaning the commits
sioneers) and representatives of the
Wild wood Gas Co., it seems impos-
sible for The company to make such
additions and Improvements to the
plant as will insure efficient service to
