Wildwood Golf Club.
1. Question-After the five year free
membership privilege expires in con-
nection with the $500 bonds, will the
ownership of the club revert to the
few trustees?
Answer-No, it will not, because the
club ownership is not vested in the
trustees but in the members. The
trustees are simply the managing di-
rectors of the club in regards to tinan-
cial matters only.
Q. Question-If any profit shall ac-
crue as a result of the management of
the club, will such profit benefit the
trustees or any other individual?
Answer-No, because the charter of
the wildwood Golf Club filed with the
Secretary of State of New Jersey pre-
vents such appropriation of profits.
The Incorporation and organization of
the club is to be not for pecuniary
profit and it is impossible for the trus-
tees to alter this incorporation.
8. Question-There have been two
names associated with the present
Golf Club. What is the meaning of
the two names?
Answer-The original name given
the club was: Wildwood Golf and
Country Club. When the incorpora-
ton papers were sent to the Secretary
of State for filing it was discovered
that in 1916 another Golf Club had
been incorporated under this name
and it was, therefore, impossible to
use the name of Wildwood Golf and
Country Club. The trustees then
voted to change the name of the club
to wildwood Golf CLUB, Inc, and the
Incorporation papers were filed as
such. Notification of this fact may be
secured from the Secretary of State
at Trenton, N. ]. There are not two
organizations of this club. I
