1--WE have this date March 17th)
made a resurvey of the location of the
line of the new boardwalk between
Montgomery and Cedar avenues, and
we mutually agree that the Mont
gomery avenu end of the walk is To-
Gated exactly ON the northwesterly line
of Beach avenue, and that from this
point the boardwalk runs in practi-
cally a straight line to a point 2.27
feet southeast of the northwesterly
line of Beach avenue, at Cedar ave-
nue."
According to this joint report the
extreme divergence from the building
line on Beach avenue is about IA feet.
AS the walk is on the building line of
Beach avenue at Montgomery avenue,
the divergence must begin then a short
distance northwest of Montgomery
avenue and increase gradually all the
way up the line, amounting to as much
| as IA feet at Cedar avenue. 1t is for
tunate in a way that the error was
detected before more buildings were
erected along the walk or moved up
to it. Knowing that the walk is out
a little too far in its upper stretches,
builders may find a way to accommo-
date themselves to this altered condi-
ton of things along the new wooden
way.
In the past two weeks seven more
applications for hacking and jitney IL
enses were presented:
BY Benjamin Katz, 80 years of age,
5O06 Arctic avenue.
BY Joseph S. McCurdy, % years of
age, 237 West Pine avenue.
By Lewis Layton, "a years of age,
3O8 West Schellenger avenue.

los East Seventeenth n
By Albin Griffith, At years of age,
Anglesea.
BY Reliance Transportation Co., of
Camden.
Under the rules applications for
hacking licenses are not acted upon
until after the expiration of 80 days
from the dates at which such applica-
lions are filed, but it is different with
the auto bus or jitney licenses. A bus
) license fnay be granted at any regular
meeting of the Commissioners after
date of application, provided all the
!, requirements of the jitney ordinance
have been complied with. One of these
requirements is the filing of a surety
bond in the sum of SIS, 1000; another
requisite is the execution of a writ by
the applicant or applicants, delegat1ng
power of attorney to the chief fiscal
officer of the city.
The Reliance Company made appll-
cation to the Commissioners for a IL
cense on March 18th, and on March
21st, one week later, the license was
granted, the Reliance Company having
filed all the necessary papers with the
Commissioners and the city treasurer.
Two indemnity bonds were posted.
One policy, No. S01565, in the Ocean
Accident and Guaranty Co., Limited, of
London, England; the other, policy
No. 162514, in the Maryland Casualty
Co, of Baltimore. City Treasurer Kay
was legally deputized by the COM
pany as my true and lawful attorney.
A communication signed by James
w. Brannan, recording secretary of

Last Tuesday a week ago, March
4 18th, wassthe date advertised for the
consideration of Ordinance No. 1877,
on third and final reading and for pas
sage, if no opposition were 0
tered; but it met with a storm of pro-
tests and it's course was retarded. At
that meeting of the Commissioners i've
petitions had been presented objectlng
to the adoption of Section so of the
proposed new code. These petitions
contained, collectively, 126 names. The
petitions were ordered to be received
and filed and the Mayor made a motion
that consideration of Ordinance No.
1877 be laid wei for one week. At this
weeks meeting it was again called up,
but as the changes contemplated in
some of it's provisions have not been
fully decided upon, another postpone
ment of the date for final hearing and
passage was rendered compulsory.
March 2Sth is the date set for final dis
position of this ordinance. Anyone
having any suggestion to make or fur
Their objection to offer may be heard
at that time. The signers of the five
petitions declared that the require
ments outlined under Section so we're
unjust and unfair to the petitioners"
This section reads as follows:
