COMMISSIONERS MEETING

Last Tuesday afternoon, September
18th, the new Wildwood city commits
sioners met in weekly session for the
tenth time since their induction into
office in the early part of July last.
The meetings begin now at 2 P. M. by
daylight saving time, and the hands
of the city clock, on the day mem
toned, had scarcely pointed to that
hour when the new mayor, smiling
and nodding his head in the direction
of the Indispensable timepiece. sig
nailed the city clerk to open the pro-
ceedings by reading the minutes of the
previous session. What transpired at
that meeting was soon heard echoing
through the chamber, and ratification
of the record, as read, was promptly
voted at the finish.
In the regular course of business,
reports were called for next. The
weekly financial statement showed
that $2,438.64 had been received in
taxes for the week prior, and $392.48
in water rents for a similar period.
Five new connections to mains of the
city's water system were made at the
following points: On south side of
Twenty-first e near Surf avenue,
for j. Ffthian Tatem; north side of
Nineteenth avenue, west of New York
avenue, for John S%teinboch; south side
of Magnolia avenue, near Ocean ave-
nue., for Mr.. Groh; 306 West Garfield
avenue, for Joseph w. Arthur, and 423
West Montgomery avenue, for Mrs.
Oscar Olson.
The last official report to be heard
was that of the city clerks department,
tabulating receipts and collections for
the month of August:

FISHING PIER TO BE ENLARGED

The firm of ODER and Woolson has
been awarded the contract for the
enlargement of the North wildwood
Fishing Pier for 100000. Only two
bids had been asked for. The other
bidder was E. Riley Mixner, of Goshen.
His offer was $1,200.00 higher than
that of his competitor. The length of
the present pier is but 200 feet. The
new pier will be SOB feet long. Work
ON this improvement will begin soon.
The new club house will be built
later on.

OF the amount of rent paid in Au-
gust, $500 was by Ida Trotter, and
$25O.00 by the Order of Moose.
The next number on the program
was the reading of communications.
The resignation of the present sewer
inspector headed the list.
"On account of failing health, will
you please accept my resignation as
sewer inspector of the city? Thank
ing you for your favors, I remain,
yours truly, S. l.. Crawford"
The resignation was accepted.
A letter pertaining to repairs needed
at city ball was now submitted.
after our talk of yesterday, I have
examined the roof of Sd ward fire
house and will repair same, putting
in new asbestos shingles, where need
ed, %cementing anne and putting roof
in first-class shape, guaranteeing
against leakage, for the sum of $4,000.
will scrape, repair and paint fire
escape on same building for $24.00.
Joseph B. Brown"
Mr.. Brown was authorized to go
ahead with these necessary repairs at
the prices stipulated.
A communication was received from
the treasury department of the state,
in reference to an audit made recently
of the Wildwood Sinking Fund Ac-
counts. Everything pertaining thereto
was found to be in a satisfactory con-
dition. The examination was made by
a representative of the department and
the results were submitted under five
heads. The lack of space forbids, at
present, the publication of this ex-
haustive report in it's entirety; but
later a summary of it may be formu-
lated. Some suggestions were made
that will no doubt prove of value to
our sinking fund commissioners in the
future handling Of the city's sinking
fund accounts.
The most interesting and engrossing,
by far, of all the communications ad-
dressed to the commissioners, this
week. was that from ]. c.. billiard, les
see of the Casino and the Casino Ar
cade. We quote a portion of his
lengthy letter:
"In view of the fact that there has
been much comment upon the games
that are being conducted on the BOARD
walk this season, and realizing that
the situation has reached such a mag
nitude that it has become necessary
for it to be under complete control OF
the commissioners, I wish to make a
few suggestions which you may look
over. If there be anything that meets
with your approval you may use it as a
working basis; if not, just throw this
letter in the waste basket"
The commissioners did not throw
the letter in the waste basket;
neither did they heed, much less think
of adopting or acting on any of the
suggestions so. generously proffered
by Mr.. billiard, looking to the regula-
ton and control of the many devices
known as games of chance" The
edict has gone forth that next season
mo games Of chance, contrary to law,
will be tolerated within the limits
of the City of Wildwood" A resolu-
ton to this effect was passed unani-
mously at the meeting of September
9Th, as set forth in the Journals re-
port last week. From this advanced
position our commissioners betray nc
