All of the official reports now hav-
ing been heard, accepted and filed, the
Mayor called next for "Communica-
tions." The city clerks offering in
this line this time was very slim and
it did not take long to dispose of the
solitary letter received from Norman
Grey, president of the Wildwood Gas
Co., whose Philadelphia Office is in
room 1908 Real Estate Trust Building.
Mr.. Grey said:
Hon. w. COPYRIGHT Smith,
wildwood, N. J..
My dear Mayor:
enclose copy of a letter sent to the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers at Trenton, informing them of the
installation of new rate wheels, ETC.,
in Wildwood. If any complaints come
you 1 shall be very glad if you will
drop me a line, addressed to me at the
Gas Company's Office in Wildwood,
corner Atlantic and Wildwood ave-
nues. I shall be in Wildwood on or
about Thursday, January 10Th, when I
shall give you a call.
Thanking you for your consideration
and wishing you the compliments of
the season, l remain,
Yours very respectfully,
NORMAN GREY. Pres"
Here is a copy of the letter Mr.. Grey
wrote to Trenton:
MIR. A. N. Barber,
Secretary State Board of Public
Utilities.
My Dear Sir: In response to yours
of December 22d, I advise you as fol-
lows: Our Gas Company is now sup-l
plying gas on Five Mile Beach through
1,19S meters, of which number GOT are
of the prepayment type and 291 of
them are regular meters.
New rate wheels have been installed
in all of the 907 prepayment meters.
The regular meters were read and bills
at the new rate are being sent out
since our readings were completed.
A copy of this is being sent to Mayor
Smith, of Wildwood, for his Informal
tion.>
Any M having a crow to pick with
the president of the Wildwood Gas Co.
should remember the day and date of
his announced visit. An opportunity
like this does not often present itself.
In righting corporate wrongs, the aim
usually most effective is that of get
ting in touch with the men highest up.
The tone of Mr.. Grey's letter is prom
Using in the extreme for the Inaugural
ton of a better service and a more
satisfactory management of the COM
pany's gas production and distribu-
ton.
The introduction of new business
was now in order and a series of reso-
buttons, prepared by the city solicitor
at the request of the Commissioners,
