pressed a willingness to change the
location of these receptacles if the COM
missioners will "show him where"
He must be from Missouri, though
rated as a Minnesota man.
City Health Officer b. G. Ingersoll
next arose to announce that he has
rendered to the Governor of New Jersey
his resignation as a justice of the peace.
Mr.. Ingersoll was commissioned nearly
ten years ago. His commission would
have expired in May, 1921. He was
understood to say that the compensa-
ton for services rendered in conducting
with the exsctions and duties thereof.
Hence his anxiety to free himself OF its
cares. Mr.. Ingersoll next stated that
he had received a communication from
the State Board of Health relative to
~unsanitary conditions in the upper end
of Wild wood. Complaints had been
made to the State Board by some resi-
dents in the section affected. The sewer
mains ora Poplar avenue and some of
the other streets in that part of the city
were laid long ago, when the city was
in its infancy, Hence the city has out
grown their capacity. The only salts
factory remedy will be the laying of
new mains of large ealibre. This can
not be undertaken at once in the midst
of the season; but it is claimed that if
the disposal plant were operated SIX
teen hours a day instead Of eight, that
much of the stoppage and overflow
complained of at present can be
remedied. The necessity for imme-
diate action of some kind for Temporary
relief was made plain, and it is PROB
able that operation of the disposal
plant will be put upon double time.
When communications were called
for they were looked forward to with
considerable interest, as if rumOred In
advance that some weighty papers had
been received by the city clerk. The
first one read did not create unusual
attention. 1t was signed by Fred b.
ShIeve, H. Barrish, E. d. Hand, f. b.
Sullenberger, Joseph kleimbord and
B. Friedman, all domiciled in the big
brick block at the corner of Garfield
and Pacific avenues, complaining OF
the loud noises made by the ne"sboys
who have a stand opposite in the front
of Hunts Avenne Theatre. 1t was
claimed in the letter that the loud yell
ing of the boys began very early in the
morning and proved an annoyance to
the whole neighbOThood. An earnest
request was made to the commissioners
that an effort be made to apply the soft
pedal to these energetic and Justly
lunged youngsters who have been dis
turbiug the rest and peace Of the COM
p%lainants.
The seeond communication was dated
August IS, at 1927 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, and signed by the Gen
eral Chemical Company. The commits
sioners were notified by this company
that an advance of 40 Fer cent. III
freight rates on chemicals will soon be-
come effective. Not only that, but
changes IN classification are contem'
plated, 50 that in many instances the
increased cost of transportation on
chemicals will rise as high as ITO pei
cent. The aid of the commissioners is
sought to help combat this excessive
incrt ase. An invitation was extended
TO send a delegate or representative tt
l43 Liberty street, New York, to attenc
a meeting or a hearing in these matters
on August 80, when a vigorous protes
is to be laid before the Consolidated
Classification Committee. Our com
missioners received and filed this letteI
but took no action upon it. The IN
crease Will affect u druggists and al
users of chemicals, vel the city itself
a purchaser of creoline and sulphurit
acid.
Herman Anhalt, of Anglesea, mana
ger of Weisbrod & Hess Brewing Co
for Five-Mile-Beach, addressed a lette
to the commissioners asking them L
"define more clearly the class in which
the mercantile license operates in con
nection with the delivery OF goods IL

an annual license fee of $40 under the
following heading: "Delivery auto

classed his firms business under th'
following heading: "Bottlers' agents o.
