a peerless beach wherein those IN
quest of health or pleasure may gam
boil at their will, inhaling the health
giving currents of pure atmosphere
distilled on the broad expanse OF the
Atlantic ocean. The medicinal virtues
of the salty air are not infrequently
commented upon and it is probably the
i%nvigorating qualities of the seaside
breezes that help to make u resort
so popular. That they have a tonic
effect cannot be we'll disputed. Hence
the lure of the sea from the stand
point of health will always prove a
drawing card.
The city clerk announced that two
more applications for 1922 jitney IL
censes had beer made the past week:
a. BY George S. Morrow, Sc years
of age, 337 West Eighteenth avenue
North wildwood, to operate a " morse
w Ford car, having a seating ca
pacity for five passengers.
(2) By Rufus B. Collins, AZ years
old. 39OS Pacific avenue, to drive a ~
horse power Paige car, with seating
capacity for seven passengers.
Both of these applications were laid
over under the rules for the space
of 80 days.
When the interesting subject OF com
munications was finally in order II
was gratifying to the correspondents
to know that the city clerk did not
have the laugh on anybody this week
in regard to the scarcity OF literature
of this kind, and his very first offering
was a most remarkable letter from the
firm of Harris and Harris, attorneys
of Camden. 1t read as follows:
Crank B. Cooling has for sometime
been annoying the owners OF lots on
the north side of Taylor avenue, Wlld-
wood. and we have noticed from time
to time his writing to the Commas
sioners of the said city. He is now
attempting to mix up the records by
having some deeds made and put on
record in the county clerks once.
On behalf of the owner we have IN
vited him to bring suit against us some
six months ago, but he has not done
so. | trust that you Commissioners
will not aid him in any way when the
courts are so wide open to him.
This communication was referred,
as a matter of course, to the city So
licitor. Knotty legal points are in
volyed therein. Mr.. Cooling, who lives
in Philadelphia, had several brushes
with the former Commissioners, but
since the advent of the new local ad-
ministration he has not been heard
from. The Harris and Harris letter
NAV bring him to the front again.
w. C. Todd, secretary of the Board
of Education sent the following COM
munication to the Commissioners:
THE Board of Education at a regu-
lar meeting, duly called and held on
February 1, 1922, adopted the follow
ing resolution:
BE it resolved that it is estimated
by the Board of Education that it will
be necessary to raise the sum OF
$50, 900 for school purposes or ex-
D60SGS lOI luG COIllA5 OAAOO JNN@'
from July 1, 1922, to June 80, 1923.
"As required by law | am enclosing
you a copy of the school budget for
1929. The big item of the list is
the teachers salaries. The increase
of 1000 in salaries is made up as
follows:
Increase in salaries of pres
emf teachers 49, 500
Salaries for three new grade
teachers 5,OoO
Salaries for extra high school
teachers 1900
Total $1,000
1.-THE teaching force consists OF 81
persons"
The amount of the budget for the
previous school year was SCI ,955. The
increase in the budget for the coming
school year is, therefore, $21,O45.
An itemized publication of the new
budget may appear later.
The next communication or docu-
ment to be read by the city clerk bore
a legal aspect. 1t was signed by A. c..
I1lluI6lu, ClClh VI III OopS AANJ
County courts. James M. E. Hildreth
was named as attorney for the COM
p%lainant. The document was too
lengthy to publish in it's entirety, but
a generous excerpt of same will serve
to acquaint the readers of the Journal
with the nature of the action at law.
"You are summoned to answer the
annexed complaint of Reuben w. Nor
cross, in an action at law in the Cape
May County Circuit Court, and take
notice that unless you file your answer
to the said complaint with the clerk
of the Cape May County Circuit Court
at Cape May Court House, N. j., within
20 days after service upon you of this
writ and the annexed complaint, the
plaintiff may proceed in the suit and
judgment may be entered against you.
