COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MET AT OCEAN CITY LAST
NIGHT

The December-January meeting of
the Cape May County Chamber of
Commerce was held in the beautiful
meeting room of the City Commission
ers at Ocean City on Thursday even
ing, January IL, 1922. President
Luther G. ogden was in the chair and
Secretary Haffert was at his post as
usual. Many people from the lower
part of the county braved the cold
wintry night to attend the meeting,
and these Chamber of Commerce
meetings are always interesting. Dele
gate Gilbert Smith, of Avalon, reported
IN several railroad matters, which in
dicated that he was on the job and
had had considerable correspondence
with both railroads in an effort to i'm
prove winter travel to Cape May
County points. Mr.. ogden announced
the resignation of c. A. Norton as chair
man of the committee on identifying
county roads, because of his appoint
ment as a Freebooter. Mr.. Norton has
done good work on this committee and
the president will announce his sue
cessor later. Mr.. Brick offered a reso-
luton that it was the sense of the
Chamber that in appointing a prosecu-
tor this spring that the Governor
should not go out of the county to get
a man. 1t was adopted and will be
forwarded to Governor Edwards. Mr..
Brick also offered a resolution favor
ing the freeing from toll of the Ocean
City-Somers Point bridge, and it was
passed without any objections. A
resolution concerning the distribution
of road money derived from the motor
vehicle fund of the state was intro
duced by Delegate Gilbert Smith, and
as many delegates did not fully grasp
the meaning of same, it was laid over
for future action. DR.. W. F. Maroney,
health teacher of the Atlantic City
schools, was present and gave an adj
dress, which was highly interesting
and instructive. After the meeting
lunch was served at a restaurant,
where music was furnished and adj
dresses made by DR.. Allen Corson,
Rev. John Handley and others. The
Ocean City people provided a most en-
joyable evening for the visitors, as
UH6y always no.
At the suggestion of President Og-
den each person present was asked to
register his name on papers passed
through the audience and this is what
it revealed: +.
