The officials of Wildwood Crest are
always on the job, doing their utmost
for the development and improve
ment of Five Mile Beach. They be-
lieve in getting the people in back OF
every new project. An appeal for CO.
operation was recently made in the
following article published in the
Crest Pier program: Every citizen
and axpayer in Wildwood Crest
should get behind the movement to
get the Freeholders of Cape May
County to complete the Ocean Boule-
ward from Rambler road to Cold
Spring Inlet AND thence by Schellen-
gers Landing to Cape May City. This
extension of the Ocean boulevard is
n of the most important projects
for the future development of Five
Mile Beach that we can conceive OF at
the present time. 1t means the short
ening of the distance by road to Cape
Nav City to less than five miles, while
by the present shore road it is twelve
miles. 1t also means that it paves the
way for the extension of trolley SER
vice to Cape May City. AS an adver-
Using medium it mean that there will
be hundreds of motor cars passing to
and fro, bringing thousands of motor
lists through the borough that have
never seer wildwood. 1t will also be
incentive to the owners of the land
between Farragut road and Cold
Spring Inlet to develop this waste land
into building lots and very soon we
shall have a town seven miles long
of five, with the added advan-
of making all this waste land into
taxable property that will
bring a large revenue into the Dor
ough treasury, thus reducing our taxes
and give us money to make many
needed improvements"
