lar weekly meeting of the Wildwood
City Commissioners in the eleventh
month was convened in the City Hall
at the statutory hour (2No'clock). All
of the commissioners were in their
seats promptly. The day was fine

blasts" as Scotland's poet once de-
picted it. From a weather standpoint
no expert could have told where Oc-
tober ended and November began, this
year of 1921; and the calm influence
of this splendid autumnal DAY seemed
to be reflected in all of the transac-
lions at that afternoons session of the
commissioners, so smoothly did every
thing move along.
