The regular batch Of bills we're read
and ordered paid.
The resignation of Charles F. Sanders
as a member of the Board Of Health
was read and accepted and a vote of
thanks was extended to him for his
services.
A petition was read from property
owners in the North Wildwood section
asking that the resolution requiring
dry garbage be placed on the curb line
for collection be rescinded. Two letters
we're also read on the same subject. BY
motion the resolution was rescinded and
the garbage contractor notified to remove
garbage from the rear of properties in
the future.
A letter was read from Henry H. OF
tens in reference to the street condition
at Eleventh, Twelfth nd Thirteenth ave,
nues at Delaware avenue and at Six.
teenth and Maryland avenues, asking
that proper drainage be provided there.
The matter was referred to the drain
committee.
Ordinance No. Isl, providing for the
building Of public pavilions at 18th ave-
nue. and the boardwalk and at New Jer-
sew and Pine venues was taken up and
voted down. This was done to set Coun-
ell straight in the matter. 1t seems that
the CITY has about reached its bonding
limit and can only raise additional funds
for such buildings under a new law
passed last year allowing additional
bond issues for b~oardwalks, paviliOns,
etc. when built on the ocean front. This
allows money to be raised for the pavll-
ion at 18th avenue and boardwalk, bur
not the one on New Jersey avenue as the
latter is not on the ocean front, but on
inland waters. As this ordinance was
originally drawn to take care OF both
buildings it was necessary to vote 1t
down and another, No. l52, was intro
duced at once to provide for the lHh
avenue building. Capt. Charles Aspen,
berg. who is interested in the wharf and
dock on the inlet, asked what was to be
done about Councils agreement with
The owners of the land on the inlet front
to build a pier there. The matter had
to be deferred until some way can be
found out of the difficulty.

ing for work on the 18th avenue contract

sew avenues and Walnut and New Jer
sew were reported to 1ouhcli
and they will be attended to.
Repairs to the boardwalk were re-
ferred to the boardwalk committee with
full power to act.
Water backing up at 18th and 18TH
avenues and the railroad was discussed,
it being stated that the drain pipe under
the railroad is too small and is contln-
uallv stopped up. The matter was re-
ferred to the drain committee with pow
L
er to act.
Council is being commended for re-
scinding the order that h~ouseholders
should place dry garbage on the side
walks and from there to be removed by
the garbage collector, instead OF taking
it from the back yard, where it is usual
" out of sight. Did you ever pass
through a town on a train or IN an auto
and see the sidewalks Uttered with
trash? We have and the idea that shoi
,brouqb orr minds was this: Il would
not want to live in this ~unsightly town.
