build homes. The weather there\1s
still very warm and they are enjoying
fine fresh vegetables every day from
their. gardens. They consider that
there is nothing like California at this
time of the year, with all its beauty OF

With the right to abandon the
draw-bridges over Great and Beach
Thoroughfares. on the Pleasantville
boulevard granted by the Wal De-
partment, the Board of Freeholders in
structed the county engineer to pro-

drawspans. The bridges will be deck
ed with oak planking and strengthen
ed to accommodate heavy trucks.

per year to the county and it material

hardship on traffic by water.
