will bear six per cent interest and be-
come due and payable at the end OF
five years. The money with which to
pay off these sewer certificates will be
raised by assessing the lots abutting
the sewer pipe lines. Council later
on will appoint commissioners of as
sessment to make this assessment ac-
cording to the benefits derived to the
various properties. The financial re-
port of Collector Skirving was read,
showing a cash balance of $497.51 on
hand. Mr.. Skirving was complimented
by Mayor Ham for the excellent man
ner in which the reports were made
up. A hearing was given on the pc
tition of the Delaware and Atlantic
Telegraph and Telephone Company for
permission to string wires in the
streets of West Wildwood. c. d. Avis,
a representative of the company, was
present and explained the telephone
ordinance which was introduced.
There were no objections heard to
the ordinance. Edwin Page was APP
pointed sewer inspector by Mayor
Mann and he was confirmed by Coun-
Gil. The question of the payment of
poll taxes by women came up and the
collector was instructed to refund the
amount to any woman who had so
paid. A resolution was adopted de-
claring daylight saving time at an end,
and that standard time would go into
effect on Sunday, September rs, 1921.
There was a demand made that Coun-
Gil pass a mercantile ordinance taxing
stores, ice wagons, milk wagons, and
all kinds of business. The solicitor
will draw up an ordinance to that eff
feet. An order was drawn in favor of
Thomas Bullock for $3.50 as the last
payment on his first years contract
for garbage removal. So well has Mr..
Bullock performed his work that few
complaints have been made. A dozen
or more ladies were in attendance at
the meeting.
A meeting was held on Tuesday
evening, September 9th, at the Ca
sino, West Wildwood, for the purpose
of electing officers of the District
School Board. President, John w.
Ham; vice president, Mrs. Albright;
secretary, Mrs. Jane Bacon; custodian,
Harold l.. Skirving; trustees, Mrs.
Asian, Mrs. Mccoy, Mrs. McCoombs,
Mrs. Eveland, Mrs. Schultz, Mrs. Let
tiers. There are Is children residing in
the borough who go to school in Wild
wood. The borough furnishes the
transportation. The appointments
were made by Prof. Aaron Hand, the
county superintendent, whose selec-
tions are highly commended, as most
of the appointees have children of
school age.
Joseph Sykes, president of the West
Wildwood Fire Company, has a fishing
line which he claims is strong enough
to hang a man, but the people of West
Wildwood can't understand why the
line parted and broke when he was
landing a Cape May goodie in the back
bay.
The officials and councilmen of West
Wildwood were on a fishing trip to
Delaware Bay on Sunday, September
25th, when a large catch of fish was
made. Councilman Mccoy, who has
made several trips across the water,
signs of sea sickness, after a five min
ute sail offered to purchase the boat
if Captain Luther Crosse would return
to shore and deposit him on the sandy
banks of Green Creek. Now there is
some doubt as to his story of the five
trips across, without the least signs
of sea sickness. Solicitor Harris ran
Mccoy a close second in his troubles.
Donaldson, after catching
his one fish, sat on the side lines to
see what the other members of the
party could do. Constable McCoombs,
J.. W. Ham, Collector Skirving, Coun-
Gilman Weaver were. the high men.
Benjamin Ham and Assessor Bachelor
had trouble catching more than one
half dozen fish. But to hear them tell
the story you would think there were
more fish in Delaware Bay. Coun-
Gilman Smith had charge of the lunch.
Smith went home we'll fed. Fred Sterl-
ing was kept busy cumming for the
party which accounts for the large
number of blue fish caught by John
Edward Cornell proved to
be a great one-handed fisherman, the
other was kept busy holding on to the
side of the boat while he studied the
way of the waves.
