east of Park boulevard, a new water
connection was made for a Mr.. Koehler.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the collector Of " alter rents to credit the
account Of j. Beale, who lives in district
No. 3 1.-THE Crtst) in the sum of Sll.3l,
being one third OF an excess water bill
Accomplishing in The third quarter Of
this veal on account of a leak, the ex-
istence of which was not known until
the meter was read for the third quarter.
w. COPYRIGHT Smith, secretary OF
the Board OF Trade, appeared before
the commissioners to com plain that the
Board of Education had rendered a
bill of $50 for the use' of the High
School auditorium on the occasion or
the meeting held there by the West
Jersey Baptist Association. He was
informed that the commissioners had
no authority or jurisdiction in this
matter. The Board of Education has
sole control over all uses to which the
school building may be put.
At 2 o'clock a motion was made to
proceed with the opening of bids to re-
model First ward firehouse. The city
clerk announced that not a single bid
had been received. A motion vas
passed to hold the matter open one
week longer. Fifteen minutes after
this motion prevailed, Eden Mitchell
appeared at the door leading into the
commissioners room, holding in his
hand a sealed envelope containing his
bid. He WIS told that he was too late,
and then informed that he would have
a chance to have his sealed proposal
opened next week.
The adoption of the following reso-
luton met general approval:
"Whereas the plant Of the CONSOLE
dated Fisheries Co., OF the main drive
road to Rio Grande from this city, has
become a nuisance to the community
at large; and whereas it is deemed inn
perative that the plant shall cease oper-
alton at once, or take such measures as
will do away with the smell
emanajing therefrom and which the
citizens and taxpayers of this city have
time to time protested against,
but which still exists, notwithstanding
the said company has been notified
repeatedly to abolish this nuisance;
now therefore be it resolved that the
Board of Commissioner GO on record
as being willing to cooperate with the
other communities affected, in employ
ing counsel to make application to the
courts of this State to abolish the nuis-
created by said plant as it now
exists or is operated"
1t was given out that the borough of
Wild wood Crest has already gone on
record in a similar way, aud assurances
given that the City of North Wildwood
will follow. We are now assured of a
united and concerted move against
what is pronounced to be an intoler-
able nuisance.
After the passage of the foregoing
resolution, everybody present thought
the meeting had come to an end, but
Commissioner Bright had a motion to
offer to the effect that City Clerk Win
terburn be removed from his office as
city clerk ''for cause" said motion to
take effect at once. Commissioner
Smith then amended to read. "To
Jake effect on Friday, the 10Th day Of
October, 1920" Mr.. Smith said a half
months pay would be due the clerk at
that date, and expressed himself as
to let the clerks services ex-
END to that time-exactly in the mid
lie of the month-a very gracious con

;ioner Bright Immediately after the re-
noval motion went through, Smith
Ieconded 1t and the session was I'VE
before the dazed spectators had time to
,et their breath. The Finance Com
missioner lost no time in getting out of
he room, presumably to escape being
Questioned as to the reason for the
dismissal.
