WILDWOOD CITY COMMISSIONERS in
WEEKLY SESSION

The orbit of the earth-that it, its
path through space-is known to sci
ence as the Ecliptic. Astronomers
have computed the length of this great
ellipse at approximately 5S5 millions
of miles. To run this vast course,
from start to finish, takes 365 days,
plus; or a trife over an average of
91A days to cover each quarter. Our
fleet-footed planet is now rounding the
last segment and will go under the
wire on December 21st, at which date
winter begins.
Goldsmith Maid, in her palmiest
days, flying like the wind and on her
fastest track, never came down the
homestretch with such a wonderful
burst of speed and with such a steady,
ever pace as our globe is now exerting
in its race to perihelion, it's movement
because of it's nearer approach to the
central sun. at is truly startling"
said one writer, "to find that this
great earth has to move more than IS
miles every second in order to get
round it's path in the allotted time!"
To many persons the attractions
scattered along the autumnal section
of the long speedway are very agree
able; and especially SO those appear
ing in the golden month of October.
The second October meeting of the
Wildwood City Commissioners was
called to order by Mayor COPYRIGHT
Smith last Tuesday afternoon, the
18th, at the regular hour.
All of the commissioners answered
to their names when the roll was
called. Then the minutes taken at
the October 4th meeting were recited
and approval of them given at the
close as stated.
Only one monthly report was heard,
that of the city clerks office, for the
preceding month. All of the other
monthly reports for September had
been handed in and read last week.
The total receipts in the city clerks
Office during the ninth month amount
ed to $1,180.49, distributed as follows
