COMMISSIONERS MEETING
Continued from page 1

OOulluutQ AAOlu page L
ested to hear what Robert G. had to
say:
Replying to your letter of Octo-
Der 31st, relative to memorial build
ing, will say that at the September
meeting of the officers and trustees
of the wildwood Athletic Club, it was
decided to ask the present City Com
m~issioners if they propose 10 carry
out the plans adopted by the former
commissioners for the erection of a
municipal-memorial building, using
the $4,000 voted by the Wildwood Ath-
letic Club for this purpose? If not,
we ask that you rescind the action of
intentions and release the obligation
of the holding of the $4,000 by the
Wildwood Athletic Club, thereby per-
hitting the club to make such dispo-
sition of the money as it may decide
to do"
No action was taken upon this let
ter. 1t was ordered received and
fled" and the opinion of the city
solicitor will be sought relative to
the legal phases of the matter. The
Mayor frankly let it be known that
the city is not financially able to go
on with this project nov He did not
mince matters nor attempt to pussy
foot his way through the maze of diff
culties confronting this municipality.
He emphasized, in no uncertain tones,
the lack of funds for various purposes
and clearly showed by MS manne
that he and his fellow commissioners
propose to pursue only a safe and con-
servative course in all of their actions.
The impression created vas that these
commissioners cannot be stamped or
carried off their feet by any sudden
wave of sensational emotion or IN
sound propaganda. The tenor of
their way" as outlined on Tuesday
by the Mayor, indicated a strict adj
herence to the principles of a sound
financial policy and for this they shall
surely be most highly commended.
Confidence in these commissioners
has been measurably strengthened by
the firm stand taken at their last
meeting and the belief is expressed
that they will do the fair thing at
all times for the best interests of the
entire community.
Action was taken at last Tuesdays
meeting on the request of Wilbur B.
Craig for the refund of a part or all
of a $35 jitney license paid by him
last May. Mr.. Craig had written to
the commissioners asking for a re-
fund on the ground that he had not
availed himself of the privileges con
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1921-11-04

coded to him by the issuance of said
license. The commissioners decided
that that vas no fault of theirs and
went on record as affirming that a
license of any kind once applied FOR
and granted is final and that no re-
fund of a license fee shall be made
in whole or in part, for any cause.
The Mayor intimated that the resolve
for the establishment of this prece-
dent had been arrived at only after
careful elaboration.
The subjoined communication from
the city treasurer had reference to
obligations to be met in 1922:
"In accordance with Section Is,
Chapter PIP, of the laws of 1917, 1
hereby certify that the sinking fund
requirements for term bonds of the
City of Wildwood for the year 1922,
will amount to $1O,S69 on general
bonds, and $11,599.66 on water bonds.
81 also certify that it will be neces-
sary to raise the sum of $4,000 for the
redemption of bonds maturing during
the year 1922"
The total amount Of bonded indeb-
tedness to be taken care of in the 1922
budget is $~36,96S.66.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the issuance of another improvement
note for $1,9SO.61. The proceeds are
to be used in paying the cost of grad
ing and g%raveling Atlantic avenue,
under Ordinance No. 116, and when
payment for said work shall be re-
ceived from property wne along
this street under the assessment plan,
the money so obtained shall be ap-
piled to no other purpose save on ac-
count of said note"
A communication from w. G. Todd,
secretary of the Board of Education,
gave valuable information relative to
the cost of education for pupils re-
ceived from districts outside of the
city limits and the amounts collected
for their tuition" Statistics of this
kind and also other data concerning
our schools had been carefully COM
piled and covered a period extending
back five years. At another time the
Journal may lay some of this matter
before the public, as it will likely
prove interesting to everybody.
AS next Tuesday, November 8th,
is election day, a motion was passed
fixing next Monday as the day for the
next meeting.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the city treasurer to charge the city's
light account in the sum of $3.50 and
to credit this amount to other depart
ments in which the appropriation
made last zeal has run short.
During the course of the meeting
a motion was passed directing the
