Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1922-11-24

wood Council on Tuesday evening the
big event of the evening was the open
ing of the bids for the rebuilding of
the North Wildwood Fire Hall, de-
stroyed by fire last summer. Bids
on this work had been submitted at a
previous meeting, but as the figures
we're all higher than the %appropria-
ton they were all rejected and the
plans altered. Four bids were sub
mitted, as follows:
H. M. lowering ...........$ IS, 200
Schlenzig Brothers ........ 1887
Rufus P. Hays ............ 4,792
Louis A. Kraus ........... 1850
The bids were referred to the
Building Committee, who after a
short controversy, returned with a
resolution giving the work to Kraus
and ordering the bond issue to cover
this expense. Another interesting
matter brought up at Tuesdays meet
ing was two letters from Congress-
man Isaac Bacharach in which he ad-
vised that the Mayor make a personal
written request for the two field
pieces desired to place before the new
city hall when same is completed.
The second letter stated that distri-
button of these field pieces was held
up by legislation and advising that
United States discarded artillery
could be had if this was desired. A
resolution was adopted requiring bills
to be in the hands of the clerk on
Friday previous to the meetings. An
other resolution gave the clerk in
structions to advertise for bids for
garbage collection for a two year con-
tract. A resolution cancelling sew
eral uncollectible tax accounts was
also adopted.
H. M. lowering, chief of the North
Wildwood Fire Company, requested,
in a written communication, that five
hundred feet of new fire hose be pur-
chased for this company to saw the
hose now in their possession, as same
becomes widowed when stored wet
and fire laws demand that 1000 feet
of hose be on the wagon at all times.
This matter will be looked after when
the new budget is made up.
A report from Engineer L. M. Rice
advised hat the work on the LIST ave-
nue. bulkhead was now sufficiently
finished that an inspector was not
needed further and this report was
filed and orders given that the in
spector on this job quit. The city
engineer was instructed to draw up a
map showing the lights now erected
in the city, same to be hung in the
city clerk'c office. Meeting adjourned.

Frederick entertained Howard Ak
royd and Miss Gladys Akroyd, of
Philadelphia; Miss Lillian Frederick,
of this city, and Miss Kathryn God
charles, of Cape May Court House,
last weekend. Mrs. Mcclure sur
prised the crowd on Sunday by say
ing that the weather here was warmer
than it was in California when she
left that state. She suggested that
the crowd all enjoy a dip in the ocean
and this was no sooner said than done.
They all reported the water much
warmer than they expected and
seemed to relish the salt water swim.
Sunday afternoon the party motored
to Cape May, and in short, enjoyed an
all around fine day in an all around
fine manner.
