1t was, therefore, resolved to accept
Mrs. Sweets offer and to give her per-
mission to remove the walk as 500 as
the city has received the sum men
toned.
The Commissioners instructed the
city solicitor to notify Gilbert H.
Baker to move his theatre 20 feet
oceanward, as per agreement he made
with the city a few years ago. Ac-
cording to the terms of that agree
ment, Baker was to have 6 months
notice to move after new boardwalk
was constructed.
1t was remarked that Baker has
sold his theatre property. 1t was ad-
vised, therefore, to notify, also, the
new owner. Any contract made by
Baker would, as a matter of course,
bind his successor. To make assur-
ance double sure, both men are to be
notified and by registered letter at
that.
A meeting of the Five Mile Beach
New Years Association was an
nounced to take place next Monday
night, January 9th, beginning at $50.
All organizations are urged to send
representative committees, as it was
preached that important matters will
then and there be discussed.
R. D. Richman, ticket agent at the
wildwood avenue station of the
"Pennsy" furnished the information
that 225 excursion tickets had been
sold-last Monday on Five Mile Beach
to Philadelphia, and 81 excursion tick
cts to Wildwood from Gloucester and
other points along the electric line.
The frigid state of the weather that
memorable day affected the traffic ma
terially.
1t was only 258 when the Commits
sioners adjourned.

FOX BROS. BUY REAL ESTATE

That large plot of ground situated.
lying and being between Young and
Roberts avenue and West of Pacific
avenue, has been sold to the above
mentioned firm by Joseph B. Brown,
real estate agent, representing the
former owner, Postmaster George N.
Smith. The price agreed upon was
100000. A check in the sum of 81, 900
was drawn a few days ago by these
merchant tailors to bind the baragin.
when the agreement was signed.
Transfer of title willStake place when
SO per cent of the purchase price has
been paid, which will be very shortly.
The valuable piece of property thus
acquired by this enterprising firm has
a frontage of 200 feet on the West side
OF Pacific avenue, the depth of the
tract is 80 feet, running back to a
lO-foot alley in the rear. 1t is equiva-
lent to five lots, 40 x 80 each. The
price per front foot was $500, or $4,000
for each of the five lots.
1t is patent to the least discerning
mind that Fox Brothers have made a
good buy. The wonder is that this
piece of land has lain so long unde-
veloped. What they will do with it
remains to be seen. One thing is
certain-whichever way they turn it
a handsome margin of profit must
necessarily result. Only a few years
ago this same central tract went
a-begging at SIS. 1000.

Notes From
Wildwood City Hall
By A. F. LEIBY


The first meeting of the Wildwood
City Commissioners in the new year
was held last Tuesday afternoon,
January Sd.
well, we're ready, Mr.. clerk" said
the Mayor, as the hands of the city
clock indicated by their positions on
the dial exactly the hour of 2. All of
the Commissioners had been in their
seats early and when the city clerk
got the word to go, he lost no time in
beginning the roll call. Then he sailed
in at once to picture to the minds of
all present what had taken place at
the meeting of the previous week, dis
playing in the effort his usual form
of speed. The proceedings had been
long drawn out, last week, and when
the clerk finished reading the record
of same at 2.15, a look of relief was
manifested in his countenance.
Last Tuesdays session was given
up largely to the hearing of reports.
In addition to the regular weekly re-
ports, the monthly reports for Decem-
Der had to be read and placed on
record. The weekly reports were
called for first, that of revenue lead
ing the procession:
In the tax Office for the week pre-
vious receipts were tabulated as be-
low:

NEW MAYOR TELLS
K|WAN|ANSHE E'SFOR
GOOD GOVERNMENT

while there are some pre- election
promises which we cannot fulfill be-
cause we We're misinformed, yet we
can reiterate our declaration that we
stand for good government in the city
OF Phoenix and that we are going to
do everything possible TO make good
government here fact"
In the foregoing words Mayor Lon
Harmon made his first public ad-
dress yesterday the occasion being
the regular weekly luncheon of the
KiWanis club at the Hotel Adams.
Mayor Harmon, together with DR.. w.
C. Ellis, newly elected member of the
city commissions Fred O.. Adams and
Luke Henderson, hold-over members
of the commission; w. C. Foster,
newly appointed city manager: DIR. /.
l.. Garrison. newly appointed city
physician; George Kirkland. city
clerk and city magistrate, and How
ard S. Reed, newly appointed city
engineer were the guests of the club.
The introduction of the members
of the new city government to the
assembled Fxawanians was made by u.
s. Clark, chairman of the day, who in
happily worded little speeches made
the officials known to the club. AS
they were introduced the new SER
wants of the city acknowledged the
greetings which came to them by
short addresses in which they pledged
themselves to the task of making
Phoenix a better place in which to
live.
When all the officials had been in
troduced Chairman Clark extended
them the greetings of the club as a
tr~h. 41H n n Hes ff
praise, paid a tribute to a Kiwanian,
Willis Fl. Plunlett, the retiring
mayor, to whom the Kiwanis salute
was given as he rose and bowed at
the end of Clarl's remarks. The XII
wants salute was also given to Mayor
Harmon and then to the other of
ficials in a body.
The meeting was one Of the liveliest
and most entertaining of weeks.
Chairman Clark proved himself to be
a chairman par excellence, and it is
expected that he will be given the
post again III the near future to con-
duct real Kiwa1fis meeting. His
remarks throughout the meeting
sparkled with wit and humor, his
references to the city officials were
uniformly felicitous. and his direction
of the proceedings was that of the ex-
perienced POSTMASTER.
Two boxes of cigars were distribut-
ed to the club members and their
guests during the luncheon. The first
came from "Jim" Mulrein, who be-
came a grandfather during the week
and who promised that the new honor
now weighing upon him would make
him a dignified and staid member of
the organization. The second box
came from Chairman Clark, and fol-
lowed his mistake in introducing
Justice Henry J. Sullivan as being
from Prescott pre9nct."
