BOOM
WILL CONTINUE
Fifty New Dwellings to Be I'm
der Way Within Few Weeks
in First Ward Locations.
Big Amount Involved

Two facts were brought out at the
meeting of City Council on Monday
night which go to show that the
building boom in this city will con-
tinue well into the fall months and
possibly all winter. First it was re-
ported by the City Clerk that the
Building Inspector had issued permits
for the month of June which would
total about $4,000. Next several peo-
pie spoke before Council and gave out
information that at least fifty new
houses would be started in the First
Ward within the next few weeks.
When these permits are issued it will
mean another valuation of probably
$250,000.
Lawyer William L. Garrison adj
dressed Council in the matter of hav-
ing the City Engineer give him the
grades for Wellington Manor, a new
street which he has had cut through
his tract of land adjoining Reading
avenue, running from New Road to
within a block of Main street. He
desires to set 1000 feet of curbing at
once and grade the 1000 feet of street
so that it can be dedicated to the city.
In his remarks he stated that sixteen
DunSdloNS are W De eIeCleu lulule-
diately with more to follow on this
land. George Brooks also stated that
he and another party intended to
erect four or five houses in that loca-
ton.
1t was also brought out that Pro-
fessor Charles %Ingersoll also intended
to develop his tract at Adams avenue
below Main street, and wanted his
grades for streets and sidewalks. 1t
was further developed that Louis c.
Allen and others contemplated the
erection of from twenty-five to thirty
houses soon on a tract at Main street
and Mulberry avenue.
All this development is in a section
around the Woodland Avenue School.
Beside these houses there are appli-
cations being continually made to the
Building Inspector for permits for
houses in other sections of the city.
Those in close touch with real estate
affairs in the city claim that the last
six months of this year and the be-
ginning of 1929 will witness the great
est building boom this city has ever
had, Notwithstanding the rapid growth
of the last two years, which has been
phenomenal. 1t is stated that che
population OF the city will increase at
least 1000 or more before another
twelve months has passed.
The Property Committee of City
Council agreed to meet with Mr.. Gar
rison oon to go over the proposition
of extending the storm water drain
age system through his property.
When the system was installed it was
run to the line of this property. This
was before the big development now
under way was started.

Lewis Resignation
Was Not Accepted
Mayor Going After Bathers at
POint-COuncil Wants Street
Improvement Started.

At the meeting of Somers Point
Council, held Thursday night, Roy
Lewis, tax assessor for the Second
Ward, rendered his resignation to City
Council, to take effect Immediately.
AS the assessor had been paid his
salary for the entire year the matter
was laid over until members of Coun-
Gil could investigate further. The as
sessment is made in October each
year and as the books of Lewis have
been accepted it is presumed that his
work for this year has ended, but
Council desired to be sure in the mat
ter. No reason was given for the
resignation. Council had criticized
assessments made by Lewis last year,
claiming they were. too low on many
lots.
Mayor Steelman appeared before
Council and stated that many bathers
We're going to and from the bathing
grounds scantily clad in one-piece
suits. He had instructed the Chief
of Police to arrest bathers who re-
fused to wea a covering of a rain
coat or similar attire when on the
street. He asked the backing of
Council in this move, and the mem
bers informed the Mayor that they
would stand back of him in all that
was done to require bathers to cover
the short one-piece suits when on the
street.
In a communication the Atlantic
and Suburban Trolley Company in
formed Coun5 that the uniformed
members Of me police force would be
privileged to ride on their cars with.
out paying fare. The company also
said that they would willingly comply
with the request to stop their car on
New Jersey ven instead of on
Main street, in order to relieve con
gestion at that point.
Mayor Steelman also informed
Council that the Ocean City police au
thorities were bringing undesirables
from hat city TO the Somers Point
boundary. The City Clerk was in.
structed to communicate with the
Mayor of Ocean City and request him
to have this practice stopped, as
Somers Point was not willing to have
undesirable people from other places
thrust upon them.
The report of the Building Inspec-
tor showed twenty-five permits issued
for the month of June. The majority
of the operations were for dwelling
houses.
City Clerk Scull reported that he
had ordered $4,000 pounds of chloride
for use in laying the dust on Bay ave
nue. this summer. This mixture is to
be spread over the street in a few
days. 1t has been used very success
fully by the Board of F~reeholders on
county roads.
The City Clerk was instructed to
notify the City Engineer to come to
Somers Point and furnish the proper
grades of First and Eighth streets to
Contractor Soul, SO that the work oil
re-surfacing these streets could be
started. The city is now paying in
terest on the bonds created to raise
the money for this improvement. The
City Clerk stated that he could moi
notify property owners to place theil
curbs until the grades were given BY
the City Engineer.
