NORTH WILDWOOD COUNCIL
MEETS

An adjourned meeting of the North
Wildwood City Council was held on
Tuesday evening with Mayor McLinden
presiding and Councilmen Hewitt, Lar
combe, Ostenrieder, PenrOse and Web
ster; also Clerk Redding, Collector Peter
son, Engineer Rice and Director of Pub
lie Works Hewitt.
The opening of the channel from the
Anglesea wharf, giving a good outlet to-
the ocean, was thoroughly discussed as
to the best means to open the channel
and keep it open. Mr.. Hewitt suggested
taking out some of the piling of the jetty
from the beach front to Champagne Isl
and to allow a water passage through.
William Epler was appointed a MEM
Der of the Board of Health to succeed
Charles F. Sanders, resigned, and the ap-
pointment was confirmed.
Ordinance No. l52, the plumbing code
for the city, was read and passed on
first reading and will receive its second
and final reading on June 7th, and any
objections will be heard at that time.
Ordinance No. 1873, establishing the
office of building inspector, was read and
passed first reading. 1t will come up for
second and final reading June 7th, when
objections will be heard.
After the passage of the ordinances the
making of a channel to the sea was
brought up again and a very lengthy dis
cussion followed.
Mr.. Hewitt favored, and said a large
number of boat owners had asked him to
work for the opening of a small section
of the jetty across the south way which
was put in by the city a few years ago to
protect the properties around First and
Surf avenues. 1t was thought, he said,
that this would allow the waters to cir
culate through the channel and keep it
open.
The plan was not thought advisable
by the Mayor and a majority of Council,
as the cutting away of the land in the
neighborhood of the jetty had been
stopped and they thought it would be too
risky to undertake to open it again.
For the present the city dredge will
endeavor to keep the channel open.
