ANGLESEA ROAD NEEDED

There are many people in Cape May
County who hold that the new road
from Burleigh, on the Main Seashore
Road, into North Wildwood by way of
Grassy Sound, is an u~nwarranted ex-
penditure on the part of the Cape May
County Board of Chosen Freeholders,
and there has been considerable criti-
cism by the public of the county solons
for their pushing through of this pro-
ject at this time.
The TIMES was inclined to agree
that this was not the proper time to
put through any new construction,
with the county heavily bonded and
the continued high cost of road and
bridge construction.
But the need of another entrance to
Wildwood is evident now to anyone
who has had occasion to use the one
auto road into that resort this sum-
mer. With the bridge decking wear
ing out, new planks were needed, and
to install these planks it has been
necessary to hold up traffic anywhere
from five to ten minutes at a time to
get in a new plank, and in this short
space of time hundreds of cars are
lined up waiting to get across. If the
bridge would have to be closed for
any emergency repair work, Wildwood
would be entirely isolated so far as
auto traffic is concerned. And fully
eighty per cent of present day travel
to and from the resorts is by auto.
So it must be patent to any fair
minded person that the Freeholders,
both past and present, were acting
wisely and far sightedly in planning
the new road which will be completed
ere another season is upon us.
The argument has been used that
Atlantic City, mighty as it is, got along
with only one auto road until five
years ago. And while this is true, it
is also true hat in the last five years
the use of the automobile has quad
rupled, and road accommodations that
were fully adequate five years ago are
woefully inadequate today.
wildwood is entitled to its new road.
And all of the county should unite in
seeing that it gets it.-Sea Isle City
Times.

THE GAS CORRESPONDENCE IS
EVER WITH US

Here is the latest letter addressed
to the Mayor of Wildwood:
Nh. Keebler informs me that he has
made an investigation of the gas SER
vice as furnished by the wildwood Gas
Company during the week of July 49,
rs inclusive. This investigation was
made in accordance with a letter Sent
you on July 18th. l also learned from
Mr.. Keebler that he made an address
before the City Council at their regu-
lar meeting held on Tuesday, July 25th,
informing them of the present gas SER
vice as furnished by the wildwood
Gas Company and making particular
mention of numerous small gas SER
vice lines which were being imme-
diately replaced with larger ones by
the company and the Also,
that present gas troubles should be
entirely eliminated when the high
pressure gas line is installed, some
Two miles in length, extending from
the Crest to Anglesea, to reinforce the
present distribution system.
l understand that the late shipment
of the cross fittings for the intersect-
ing streets has been responsible for
the high pressure line not having been
installed this spring instead of at this
late date. The pipe was secured and
arrived some three months ago. The
company intends to wait no longer for
the cross-fittings mentioned above as
they began welding the fittings on
Monday, July oath. Allowing for con-
~tingencies the entire installation
should be completed by August 18th.
The complaints sent you and the
board of Trade against the wildwood
Gas Company and turned over to Mr..
Rich were investigated by him, to-
gether with Mr.. Keebler. All of them
with the exception of Mrs. Michael
Kane's mentioned below, were due to
some local trouble and were easily
corrected. The complaint of Mrs.
Michael Kane, however, of 331 West
Oak avenue, Wildwood, requires a new
gas main installation in the street of
Mr.. Gray has ordered the material and
will have the main replaced imme-
diately upon receipt of the shipment.
l am enclosing a copy of letter sent to
Mrs. Kane (copy of which was also
sent to Mr.. Cray informing her of the
result of her complaint.
Detailed report of the investigation
made by Mr.. Keebler will be submitted
to the Board within the next few days,
a copy of which will be sent you. A
further inspection after the high pres
sure line is completed and a final re-
port submitted covering the antici-
pated greatly improved service on
ditions.
I would appreciate it IL you would
arrange to send all further complaints
against the Wildwood Gas Company
received by you or the Board of Trade
to the gas company first of all for at
tention. The Utility Commission to
receive them only after the company
has been given an opportunity to COR
rect the matters complained of. l be-
lieve this matter was brought up by
Mr.. Keebler at the Council meeting
and that the Council agreed to turn
over all complaints to the company
for attention.
In conclusion I wish to thank you
for your kindness and cooperation
with Mr.. Keebler in the matter of this
investigation.
Yours very truly,

CHICAGO'S street car strike came
~ along according to schedule. Some
10000 employees of the surface and
elevated lines quit early Tuesday
morning and no attempt was made to
take the cars out Of the yards. Motor
vehicles Of all descriptions were called
into service and on the first day there
was a terrific congestion Of traffic. By
Wednesday the police, motor clubs and
Individual motorists had worked out
q system that brought the situation
almost to normal. and many q Chica-
goan began to wonder If the city
couldn't get along without the noisy
street and elevated cars. Also they
learned the worth Of one-way street
regulations In the business center.
Toward the end Of the week peace
negotiations were resumed, but the To-
cal president of the employees said he
saw NO prospect for an early settle
ment. The men are fighting not only
a proposed wage reduction, but a nine
hour day. Chances of an order by the
state public utilities board reducing
fares and politics enter into the Chi
cago situation, and 1t vas frequently
and openly asserted that the strike
was a put up Job" to prevent the fare
reduction and to deal a blow to Mayor
Thompson and his organization. The
mayor has long promised a Scent fare
and last week tried to take steps to-
ward the establishing of a municipal
bus line to supplant the street cars.
