The following was read from Con-
gresham Bacharach.

wise you that the matter is now having

Another letter from Senator Edge.
read as follows:
81 have your letter of the 9th Feb
ruary, enclosing a copy of the resolu-
ton passed by the Board of Commits
sfoners. AS you, no doubt know, there
is a bill now pending in the House
for its purpose the stoppage OF
the pollution of the ocean waters adj
jacent to the New Jersey resorts. |
hopeful that this bill will pass dur
ing this session of Congress"
The fourth communication was very
lengthy. 1t was from w. S. Darnell, of
Camden, attorney for the Beach Realty
Co. He dwelt strongly upon the axio-
matte fact that the ocean front is Wild
woods biggest asset. He said: Its
broad, fiat, hard, clean, sandy beach
is not only incomparably safe, but
attractive to lovers of the sea-
shore and has a lure which visitors
resist. 1t is as to how best to
keep it so that I am writing you"
Control of the beach front by the
city has often been spoken of. Mr..
Darnell's letter ~endeavored to show
the Importance of such a move at the
earliest possible date and the Commits
sioners deemed the subject of such
general concern that the letter was
ordered to be published in full in all
of the local newspapers. The con-
tents may, therefore, be seen on n
other page of this issue of the Journal.
Ordinance No. 136 was now taken up
for third and final reading and was
passed. In ten days it will become eff
fectiye and the new plumbing code
will then be issued in the form of
booklets.
Harry E. Weir was appointed city
engineer. His term of service dates
from March Z, 1922, to January 1, 1928.
In confirming this appointment the
resolution stated his remuneration
shall be such sum or sums as shall be
previously agreed upon between him
and the Commissioners during the
term of his appointment"
The daylight saving scheme next
came up for consideration and was
adopted without a murmur of dissent
from any source. Here is the view of
the City Commissioners took of the
matter:
"That it is deemed imperative for
the interests of all of the inhabitants
of the city that the Board of Commits
sioners declare that daylight saving
time be established in this city, in
stead of the present eastern standard
time" The change is to take effect
April Both and to continue to Septem-
Der Both, inclusive.
AS last Tuesday was the day speci-
fed in the advertisement for the open
ing of sealed proposals looking to the
completion of the ishermen's dock or
wharf on Ottens Harbor, the city clerk
informed the Commissioners that only
one bid had been received. A motion
was then made to proceed to open this
letter. 1t was from Ober and Woolson.
The price specified to construct so feet
of wharf or platform and to put a roof
over $50 feet, or entire new dock, was
SPOTS. The contract was awarded to
these men at the figures stated.
Adjournment was voted at 1927.
