Notes From
Wildwood City Hall
By A. F. LEIBY

In the absence of Mayor ". Court
right Smith Tuesday afternoon, the
wildwood City Commission was called
10 order by Director of Streets Alfred
Taylor. It so happened that this
meeting occurred on the very last day
of January, the 31st. Since 1852 Janu-
airy has been regarded as the first
month Of the year and appropriately
so, it would seem. The name Of this
month is of NEUROLOGICAL origin, haY-
ing been derived from the Latin word
J~anuarius. meaning the month of
Janus, to which deity this lunar period
Of the year was dedicated. This deity
was conceived as having two faces:
one looking forward, the other back
ward, into the mists of time; Il peer
ing into the future, the other lingering
on the past. The expressions, Janus
headed and Janus-faced are frequently
used as expressing the two-fold mis-
sion of this heather god-once con-
sidered by the Latin race as the begin
ming and origin Of all things-the god
of Light and Day. Under such a con-
ception it was only natural that the
first twelfth of the year should be
named after such an important and
omnipotent deity, under whose sway
solely all things were permitted to be-
gin and who commanded the gateway
to the world.
Long before the meeting was called
to order Tuesday afternoon, it was
known the Mayor would not be pres
ent. He had telephoned in the morn
ing to that effect from Trenton,
whittier he had gone theday previous
to attend a meeting of the Mayors of
many municipalities in the State of
New Jersey. This is the first time that
wildwood has been represented at such
a gathering. This association has
been brought about under the aus
pieces of the State League of Munich
palities, of which latter body the City
of Wildwood is a member.

bell read as follows:

CHINESE DEFEAT WILDWOOD

In a well-played game of basketball
last Tuesday night, the Chinese team
defeated the w. A. c. "a to 10. The
wildwood boys thought they had
a cinch, but the Chinese slipped one
over. They are students of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and they can
play basketball very well. The Chinese
are becoming masters in nearly all
athletic sports, so don't think you can
walk away with them all the time. The

curb in three other instances; FIVE
leaking meters were repaired and II
meters, not registering, were put in

No new connections to city water
mains were made last week, for OBJ
vious reasons. The state of the
weather was highly unfavorable to
field operations of any kind.
Six permits had been granted the
week previous by Building Inspector
Dixon:
To Craythorn and Nickerson for the
insertion of $50 piling, Cedar avenue
and boardwalk, for Hunts Theatres,

To Ober and Woolson, for H. A.

avenue, $2,450.
When communications were called
for the city clerk sprung a sensation
by announcing that not a solitary let
ter had been received last week, de-
handing the attention of the Commits
sioners. He appeared to be in an ex-
ultant mood because of this dearth of
correspondence and he chuckled in
wardly as he glanced over his desk
toward that section of the room re-
served for the representatives of the
press, as much as to say that they
would be short of matter for publica-
tion this week. One reporter in re-
taliation threatened to draw upon his
own imagination to supply the def
cheney of news; another said he had,
himself drawn upon his imagination
on two occasions before, netting him
on each occasion an order for SOC
extra copies of his newspaper. When
the city clerk heard that statement
made he must have realized that ii
sometimes pays to draw on ones i'm
agination.
One application was made last week
for a jitney license for 1922, by Will
liam Pearce, colored, SO years of age
121 West Davis avenue, to drive a 25
horse power Buick, with a seating
capacity for s persons. The applica-
ton was laid over for 80 days.
Oscar L. Hitchner, A years of age
PA West Glenwood avenue, was
granted a 1922 license to operate &
% horse power Ford car, with a seat.
ing capacity for 5 persons.
A resolution was passed authoriz.
ing the city clerk to advertise for bids
on two projects, as found in our ad.
vertising columns. Alfred Thornley,
of Pine avenue, was present and com,
planned of smoke from the raildoad en-
gines. Adjourned at $50.

NATIONAL anniversaries are
quite the fashion at this
u time q the year. It would
seem that independence was con-
tagious In summer and the
microbe OF freedom particularly
vicious In the warm months.

In Washington the foreign colo.
MES have a habit OF celebrating
their particular national holidays
at their own embassies or lega-
tions. Somehow one always feels
just a bit more homesick when
abroad on July Fourth. One
yearns to hear good United

with fellow.exiles. Apparently
those exiled in Washington find
a similar consolation in meeting
their compatriots on national holi.

Several Of the embassies and
legations quite recently huI
quietly observed, with just their
own people as guests, anniver-
saries OF great importance in
their national life. The Norwe-
gian legation a few days ago was
celebrating a famous date in Nor
ways history. The Mexican EN-
bassy celebrated a few weeks ago
the anniversary of famous
Mexican battle.
The Cubans celebrated on Sat.
urday the twentieth anniversary
of their independence, giving a
dinner that evening with the
Secretary Of State and Mrs.
Hughes as honor guests. And
today the Minister OF Ecuador
and Nine. Elizalde are going up
to New York to attend the dinner
