At twelve O'Clock Thursday after
noon the three Commissioners and sew
eral members of the Board of Free
holders met two representatives of the

Turtle Gut road and discussed with
them ways and means of finishing that
undertaking. Among those present
were Commissioners Smith, CARL and

Joseph Camp, vice director Of the

of Wildwood Crest; Leaning Rice. en-
gineer of the Board: Mr.. Risley, who
is in charge of the building Of the
road; Freebooter Joseph MacKissic, of
wildwood Crest, and w. H. Stein, of
wildwood.
The party assembled at the workings
at twelve. At half past twelve the

asked how long the inlet had been
closed. Contractor Risley said three
months, but Mr.. Stein corrected him
and made it four. As the road stands
now. it has a foundation OF sand bags
and cedar boughs, then a deep layer
Of sand with hay to keep it from blow

on the ocean side.
The two men from the State Com
mission looked at the lay of the land
for several minutes and asked Ques-
tons regarding the depth Of the water
in the inlet, and finally gave as their
opinion that the F~reeholders would
have to build a breakwater out in the

to get a good job done without paying

NEW YORK, March 26.-The halt ing of a big raid scheduled here to- night in which federal prohibition agents planned to confiscate approxi- mately S20O,000 worth of wines, was the direct result, it was announced, of a recent ruling m a South Carolina court that the Volstead act supercedes the old internal revenue law.

 The decision was handed down in the fourth United States circuit court of appeals on March 10 and officials and attorneys here declare most of the liquor confiscations were made under the old revenue laws.
