Board Of Trade Holds
Enthusiastic Session
MEMBERSHIP HAS REACHED 800
Organization Plans Much Activity Under Leadership
of Youthful President

from the State Utility Commission.
Mr.. Nye, manager of the electric light
company, suggested that the matter
be taken up direct with the electric
company, and the motion was amended
in that respect and passed. A motion
was made that the gas rates be taken
up direct with the Utility Commits
sion. At this time Secretary Smith
spoke of the Girl Scouts and of their
ambition to have a hut of their own
and appealed to the meeting to assist
them. There was a prompt response
from E. T. Nye, general manager of
the local electric company, who an
nounced that the trolley company
would donate $35 for the cause and a
like sum from the electric company.
This gladdened the heart of Captain
Mrs. Girard Livezey and some of the
girl scouts present. Since this $40
donation Captain Livezey announces
that five dollars have been received
from Mrs. Martindale. A letter was
read from David McKibbin suggesting
that the railroads run an excursion
once a week on a weekday from Wild
wood to Philadelphia. Referred to
Railroad Committee. The regular
business of the meeting being finished,
the speakers of the evening were
called upon. The first was Charles H.
Won Tagen, Independent member of
Philadelphia City Council. He proved to
be an accomplished speaker. He con-
graduated the Board of Trade in the
prompt way business was conducted
during the evening. He said he was
impressed with the spectacle of a
mayor of a town acting as secretary
and not attempting to boss the meet
ing. Imagine Mayor Moore, of Phila-
delhpia, doing such a thing" he said.
Ile told of his early days in organic
ing the merchants of Philadelphia and
ofIne improved conditions that result
ed. Several officials of the Reading
accompanied General Manager Slaugh-
ter, of the Wildwood and Delaware
Bay Short Line Railroad, to the meet
ing, among them being Superintendent
Lewis and Division Freight Agent
DuSh, JUL VI WIOLl oPOhO' II AoCbOA
said that upon request of the Boat
Owners Association that improved
service would be made to ship fish to
the Philadelphia and New York mar
kets. A fish train would leave Wild
wood for Philadelphia at 6 P. M.
every weekday during the season, and
for New York, by the Jersey Central
route, at 4 P. M. Senator Bright de-
livered his speech of $4,000 population
for Wildwood by 1926, a consolidated
island, new railroad station, new post
Office, etc. The Senator waXed elo-
quent as usual on the subject and was
warmly a%pplauded. He said that we
must keep the building boom going
and said that new building associa-
tons and a couple of new banks with
fresh capital would help in this re-
spect. Mrs. Charles Kinsell, a soprano
s~oloist, sang several selections which
pleased the audience. At the begin
ming of the meeting moving pictures
of Wildwood were shown. These
scenes were taken by w. G. Hunt and
were paid for by the Hunts Theatres.
Mayor COPYRIGHT Smith lauded Mr..
Hunt for the work he had done in this
direction. The meeting wound up with
the usual lunch.

$4,000 ADVERTISING FUND FOR
COUNTY CHAMBER

County Organization Hopes to Raise
This Sum Annually Through AssO-
ciate Memberships; Drive for New
Members Now On.
The Cape May County Chamber of
Commerce, composed of the various
civic and agricultural organizations of
Cape May County, hopes to have an adj
vertising and county promotion fund
of at least $4,000 by the end of the
present year, the money to be raised
by Associate Memberships at So yer
year.
At the last meeting of the Chamber,
at Cape May, the Executive Committee
reported having fixed the fee for As
sociate members at So per year, and
announced hat a drive would be made
to have every citizen and taxpayer in
Cape May County, resident and ION
resident, join in the work of the Cham
Der in county development by becom-
ing an Associate Member.
The voting power of the Chamber
will remain as it now is-evenly dis
tributed in every section Of the county
through the accredited delegates of
the Observation-Disclosures Associate
members, however, will have every
privilege except a vote; they may
make motions, present resolutions,
discuss questions, and, in fact, enjoy
every privilege of membership.
The Cape May County Chamber of
Commerce is purely a county affair
non-pofitical and non-sectional-and
has had a successful career for seven
years, each year growing in size and
strength. The Executive Committee
earnestly solicits every person inter-
ested in the county to take an active
part in the Chamber and attend the
meetings, which are always open to all
who are interested enough to attend.
A campaign by letter and personal
solicitation is now under way for an
Associate Membership of at least fif-
teen thousand persons.
