Managing Secretary
Makes Annual Re-
port TO Wildwood
BOARD of Trade
Secretary COPYRIGHT Smith Reviews
accomplishments OF Past Year and
Makes Important Suggestions
for Coming Years Work

At the termination of my 3h years
as Managing Secretary of this organi-
yation. l can see much improvement
and development in the resort. A
eurvev of the building reports, bank de-
nosits and merchants statements will
show that there has been a forward
trend in all. This increase has oc-
curred in spite of unsettled economic
conditions and even though a portion
of the last 3h years has been the
aftermath of the war. There have
been many things which have co-ordi-
mated to make this favorable showing.
First. the cooperation of individuals
and organizations to make this resort
better known, through the use of the
press and by the distributing of liter
AZURE in all parts of the country. We
have had men carry literature and
coast. We have other members of this
organization who have distributed
literature and booklets in the Florida
resorts. We have had others who
have distributed literature all through
the New England states and this
word Of mouth advertising which is
done by our regular people who are
now talking more favorably than they
did will make better known this ia
yored resort. 1t is well that we all
talk wildwood, it's beauties and OPP
portunities to boost business for the
resort as well as for the individual.
Although we have increased the
number of buildings, both cottages and
apartments in the last 81 years, they
have been fully taken up each season,
showing that u patronage is in
creasing with our development.
Through members of this. Board of
Trade we have started a golf club
which, when completed, will be the
finest in South Jersey. This one pro-
ject alone will be one of the finest
monuments this organization ever did.
The Board of Trade put up road
signs between Wildwood and Camden,
wildwood and Lakewood and Wild
wood and New York City. But because
Of their unwieldy dimensions they
have been in many instances knocked
down by mischievous boys and malic-
ious persons. While l personally did
not approve of the dimensions used
in the signs, nevertheless, they did us
good and 1 sincerely hope and expect
to see road signs from wildwood to
Camden, Wildwood to Lakewood, Wild
wood to New York City and as far
south as Baltimore and Washington, if
not farther, this spring.
If we erect road signs this year I
wol1d suggest that we have a smaller
sign and one that will stand the wea-

year or more of service. Atlantic
City finds it profitable to employ a
regular road sign erector. He places
signs for the big resort every year. I
am inclined to believe that metal signs
would be the cheaper kind to use.
when service and durability are taken
into consideration.
During the past year there were 70
meetings, this is a 100 per cent record.
but l regret that the number of meet
ings did not have 100 per cent at
tendance, although the attendance at
the meetings this year was better than
in past years. Eleven persons were
elected to membership and we lost
three by death, Messrs. Peterkin.
Wentzell and Tatem.
We have, through the courtesy of
the Board of Education, had the use
of the Music Room and the auditorium
in the High School whenever we so
desired, and this cooperation on the
part of the Board of Education has
done much in carrying on the work.
As you all know, we maintained our
office at the Casino Pier during the
summer with Prof. Lanning Myers in
charge of the Information Bureau.
The variety and number of questions
asked are now public property as the
monthly reports were published in the
local papers. Therefore I will not
repeat it in this report.
The news service of the island was
as usual taken care of by the secre-
tary's office. The scrap book will at
test that we have received a greater
amount of newspaper publicity than
we ever did. The number of lines this
resort has received in the newspapers
in the past year of the clippings we
have in the office would equal a news
paper of As pages of eight columns
each and have 279 agate lines to the
page. The total circulation of this
voluminous newspaper would be more
than three million. There are many
clippings we do not have, / am merely
basing this statement on the total
clippings received at the office.
The entertainment of u summer
people, the printing of booklets and
the answering of questions and the
supplying of stationery for our guests,
which belongs to the selling depart
ment of the city, were taken are of by
the Board of Trade Office. The sum-
mer office of the Board of Trade is
now an institution that would be a
great loss if dispensed with by the
municipality.
During the year inscribed resolu-
lions were presented to Mr.. Huppert,
who h%onorably served as chairman OF
the Entertainment Committee for a
number of years, and also a similar
set of resolutions were presented to
Mr.. Norton, who acted SO faithfully as
treasurer of the Board of Trade for a
period of nine years. Various sets of
resolutions were sent to the railroads
regarding service, rates, connections
and Encouragement of schedules. A
committee of the board appeared be-
fore the railroad authorities in an en-
deavor to get certain inducements.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1921-12-23

The granting of the six months ticket
of $50 trips is one of the things this
organization helped to procure.
During April we held a special ban
quet which was a booster banquet at
the Adelphi-Witte. 1t was we'll at
tended, there being about $50 pres
ent, and it did us a lot of good. At
our May meeting it was decided to
change the fiscal year from June to
June, to January LIST to December 31st.
This change included the granting of
one-half years dues in the Board of
Trade members in good standing. We
have had at times discussions of re-
ducing our dues in the Board of Trade
and asking help from the Commission
ers. The matter has been thoroughly
discussed and the decision reached to
leave the dues at $500 a year this
being advisable because then the sec
retary's salary would come from the
dues only and not from any appropria-
ton of the city.
A resolution by this organization to
close the games of chance on Sunday
on the walk was passed and repealed.
This organization now understands
the attitude of the present Commits
sioners on the matter realizing that
games of chance will not be tolerated
next summer on the walk or in any
portion of the resort.
We, as an organization co-operated
with the Atlantic City Chamber of
Commerce and the Camden Chamber
of Commerce in getting the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit Company to OPP
crate their line to the ferries instead
of two or three squares from it. This
organization has appeared before the
Public Utility Commission at every
opportunity to cooperate with the
local citizens to secure better gas SER
vice and a clear understanding of the
rate granted to the local company
and while the status of the situation
is now clear to all of us, it should be
thoroughly understood and demanded
of the Public Utility Commission that
if the local gas company is not to be
given an increase in rates depending

by the Commission, that this organi-
cation demand of the Commission that
the local gas company install the
wheels necessary for the $2.10 rate,
because at the present time the meters
are fixed at the rate of $3.50, and when
the difference of 80 cents per thousand
is charged the feels that he
is paying an extra service charge. If
the Utility Commission grants that
extra then the installation of wheels
at the $3.50 rate should be made COM
pulsory, so as to eliminate the dissatis-
factions which have occurred in the
past about the S2.10 rate. This would
eliminate n of the worst contentious
that the local gas company has to put
up with. l can assure you, ladies and
gentlemen, that the municipal authori-
ties have gone on record to this effect
For those who are not aware of it

mination of the gateway to this resort

lation to the public and it gave me a
suggestion which l am going to pass
along to you.
In this report is a sort of lamenta-
ton based on a voluminous report of
engineers. The engineers show con-
clusively the need Of the cooperation
of the State of New Jersey and New
York for the extension of harbor ia
cilities in and around the New York
port. The report points out the socio-
logical problems as well as the eco
nomic, and the whole matter resolves
itself around these features, that if the
port of New York is to retain its pres
tige and get the greatest efficiency out
of its frontage it must moderniZe its
port facilities and the methods Of
reaching the docks on land and water.
The undermining of this port will, &C
cording to the engineers, not only in
crease the revenue to the port but will
make it more accessible and reduce
the cost of living by bringing to the
eighty million persons living within
its domain, food, clothing and building
material at a lower rate.
This port problem reminds me that
now is the time for this resort to work
for the proper development of Cold
Spring Harbor, to seek state and fed
eral aid for it's further development
and to see that the rail systems which
shall feed it are not built haphazardly,
but rather for efficiency's sake. How
much longer are we in the southern
part of New Jersey going to neglect
to boost the commercial development
of Cold Spring Harbor? The side
adjoining us is open to private initia-
tive and we must work to have it used
commercially. Coastwise and South
American trade will use this harbor
mand. 1t behooves us all to bring to
the attention of the world the posi-
bilities of Cold Spring Harbor as a
port of entry.
The Department of Commerce at
Washington, our Congressman and
State Senator know of the possibilities
of Cold Spring Harbor, but knowing
will not develop the harbor. We must
keep behind the project until it is put
overt will take a few years to do 1t,
but what are a few years to a growing
resort, when the ultimate goal is a
port of entry.
Special Outings for the Year
The one-day outings this past year
were notably successful-and in the
face of depressing conditions else
where, with some Of the excursions
cancelled, we had a number OF big
days, viz, the Shriners, Tall Cedars
and Artisans. This coming season
the Firemen expect to have a big
day somewhere in the early part of
July, and the Legion is also contem-
plating a special day. Both of these
days should have the cooperation OF
the entire community for they help us
all in the end, ever though some of us,
that is, certain business interests,
may not get the financial returns,
while the outings are mere. They
eventually share in the receipts.
With the subject of these outings
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1921-12-23

lights illuminated a state road. and
when this illumination was taken care
of the lights along the boulevard into
this resort, which is a county road,
were taken off. When the Freeholders
were indicted the Board of Trade was
compelled to pay for the illumination
OF the arch with the understanding
that the organization would be reim-
bursed by the three municipalities in
pro rata share this coming year. The
large wooden sign which is also ilIu-
minated was erected and is lighted
during most of the year by the Board
of Trade. The Board of Trade dis
tributed thousands of Wildwood book
lets around the country through the
Foster Service by mail and through
other sources. 1t has secured the CO.
operation of the local Hotel Associa-
ton, of the Byron Pennington Croker
Post of this city. which organization
did a considerable amount of publicity
work for this resort at it's State and
National Convention, within the last
few months.
This organization has sought the
aid of the Federal Government in the
further development of Cold Spring
Harbor and in the permanent closing
of Turtle Gut Inlet for the purpose of
assuring the development of Two Mile
Beach as a harbor terminus for Eu-
ropean, coastwise and South American
trade.
Any and all functions that have been
of a municipal or county nature this
organization has participated in. It
has sent it's delegates regularly to the
Cape May County Chamber of Com
merce meetings. 1t has representa-
mere and co-operated willingly at
the request of these various organi-
cations on matters of state and ma
tional questions. The Board of Trade
has been the mouthpiece for the bust
ness interests of the island and has
and is willing at all times to cooper
ate with the fishing industry here SO
as to make conditions better and in
crease the amount of business done at
the docks-the Board should take a
greater interest in this local project.
During the summer season we not
only take care of the publicity work,
but regularly send a list of the ar
rivals at the larger hotels to the press.
We offer our service to investors seek
ing permanent and temporary loca-
lions here. And during the past year
we entertained the Cape May County
Chamber of Commerce twice in the
High Schol Auditorium.
If this organization is to continue
it's work l would suggest that it make
another drive for members and en-
deavor in every way possible to get
the members to attend the meetings
I again reiterate the bringing of a
speaker here at each meeting and the
inclusion of social functions after the
meeting every other month, if not
every month; this l believe will have
a tendency to increase the attendance
and increase interest.
Recently, I read a lengthy report or
the New York Port Problem in it's re
