ing Fund Commission paying h nee
essary amount to the Treasurer in or
der to retire the said term bonds, that
the Sinking Fund actually paid the
bond and therefore apparently had an
extra amount of money invested in the
City's bonds which confuses the book
keeping of both the Sinking Fund
Commission and the Treasurer's Of

We have examined all matters of the
Sinking Fund with minuteness and
have failed to discover anything
which indicates any criminal inten-
ton. Our only criticism being as to
the method of bookkeeping.
Taxes and Assessments
North Wildwood in the past twenty
years has been quite e%xtravagant with
city Improvements, such as sewers,
new streets, curbing, sidewalks, board
walks and pavilions, etc. The result
of this is that a large part of the cost
was intended to be provided by assess
ments, entirely so, except boardwalks.

of instances, nearly equalled the value
of the land which was intended to be
improved, with the result that a large
portion of the unimproved land in
North Wildwood is so overburdened
with taxes and assessment liens that
the owners have but little equity
therein. Consequently it is only when
an Isolated lot is sold that the taxes,
assessments and costs are paid. AS
an example we wish to cite the fol-
lowing instance. The North wildwood
Real Estate Company's taxes and as
sessments due to date amount to
$~72,256.59. The property owned by
this company was sold for taxes and
assessments prior Il 1917, the amount
thereon being approximately
$bo,O0O.OO. In the case of the North
wildwood Land Company the total
axes and assessments due to date
were $62, 722.42. This property was
purchased by the City at Tax Sales in
1913 and 1920 for taxes and assess
ments prior to 1918, for approximately

Garbage Contract

We find that the Garbage Contractor
is Albert McGory, and that the last
contract made with him was author
lied by the Council on January 4, 1921,
for a period of two years. The minutes
of December 2S, 1920, page 233, dis
close that on that date bids were to
be received for the awarding of the
garbage contract for a period of five
years, but on that date the bids pre-
scented without naming them in the
minutes) were rejected and bids were
ordered advertised for to be received
January 4, 1921. For this bid there
was not the ten day notice as required
by Section 3Sof Article XI, of the Mu-
Corporation Act of 1917. The
bids as received, according to the min
utes of January 4, 1921, were to cover
two years and were as follows:
1921 1922
Albert McGory ..$4,20O.0O $4,500.O0
John Lee $3.50. 100000 $4,000

Appropriations

The last audit made to comply with
the State Law as to municipal &C
counts was made by a local auditor
for the year 1919. A copy of the audit
filed with the municipality shown to
us exhibits the fact that the appro-
priations for 1919, after making of the
usual and of the year transfers,
showed that there is apparently a
grand total in balances of about $500.
An examination of the bills paid by
the Council on January 6, 1920, shows
that a total amount of money paid on
that day to be $2,620.7S, which were
apparently bills held over from the
preceding year. In addition to that, a
large amount of money must have
been owed to the West Jersey Electric
Company for street lighting as at pres
ent there is still unpaid, covering the
years 1916, 1917, and 1919, approx
mately $%17,112.75.
We have been supplied by the Col
lector with an apparent list of appro-
priations and expenditures out OF the
same during the year 1920, ana also
the current year to date. they snow
that at least nine emergency notes
have been issued during 1920 and 1871
for apparnt current account expendl-
lures. In substances, it seems that

Telephone Bills

Your Commissioners find that the
City pays telephone bills for the cur
rent year having made an appropria-
ton of $4,000, to which they have also
added on this date a transfer of $3.50,
making a total appropriation of $500,
and which according to the statement
of the Treasurer has been paid. We
have found so far but one bill item
lied covering the amount of $3.50 in
the name of Jason Buck, president of
the Council. We find that on January
4, 1921, a bill was paid to the Della
ware & Atlantic Telephone & Tele-
graph Company, according to the min
utes of Council, of $127.6O {, but we do
not find any bill among the vouchers.
also learned, however, that it is
the custom of the Council to pay for
the telephones of a number of the Of
ticials in their residences, and in one
instance we find on the minutes under
date of August 2, 1921 minute Book,
page 1850 that telephones were or
dered in the residences of the newly
plumbing inspector and
building inspector.

romance Of Tudor times 1 tried not
so much to make exact copies of his
toric details as to recreate the at
mosphere Of the period and to bring
back to brilliant life and beauty the
characteristic surroundings Of the
dramatic figures In the story.

castles I found many corners un-
touched since the day of Mary Tudor
and King Henry VIII. Too often in
going back to the past for historic
detail we find only dust and ruins:
but, to my great happiness, l found
that our picture reproduces the very
atmosphere of the place and the
period.
"The decision Of Cosmopolitan Pro-
ductions to make this the greatest
picture ever filmed gave me not only
the confidence and unlimited re-
sources to erect settings in which the
dim and dusty past lives again in
modern beauty. but also supplied the
splendid cast, headed by Marion Da-
