On c~ertiication by the city tax col
leetor that there are now no unpaid
taxes or municipal liens Of record as
sessed against lots 27, % and 29' IN
block 1875. second ward, the Commits
sion passed a resolution authorizing
the execution by the city solicitor OF a
ouit-claim deed in favor of Abbotts
Alderney Diaries, whose plant is To-
Gated west of the railroad and between
Spicer and Spencer venues. Build
ing operations on these lots are now
under way. Sheds and a big garage
are being constructed there. These
will add very much to the efficiency
of this dairy plant.
Leonard Bergman, go years OF age,
residing at the corner of Pine ana
| Susouehanna avenues, filed an appli-
cation for a license to operate a 81
horse power, 5 passenger Cadillac.
Action cannot be taken on his appli-
cation for 80 days.
A petition containing the signatures
of 28 persons living in the vicinity OF
Montgomery and Holly Beach avenues,
protested against the rumored erec-
ton of a chicken slaughter house"
on the northeast corner of the streets
mentioned. The name of M. Baker
was mentioned as the probable pro-
moter of this proposition and the COM
m~issioners were urged in the strongest
kind of terms to prevent the carrying
out of such a plan, if it be seriously
contemplated. This matter was re-
ferred to the city solicitor who was
instructed to keep his eye open and
await developments. 1t is doubtful
that the building inspector would is
sue a permit for the construction of a
building of this kind in the heart of
the city.
Another petition, with 156 sigma
lures attached thereto, was laid before
the Commissioners, asking them to
grant a franchise to the Wildwood and
Delaware Bay Short Line Railroad
Company to construct a spur from
their main stem on Oak avenue to the
fish wharf on Otten's Harbor. A num-

Boat Owners Association. The petit +
ton was brought to City Hall by b
Harry Willse, president of this or =
ganization. The advantages of loading a
barrels of fish directly into ears at n
the dock were pointed out and a
strong appeal was made to the Com p
~missioners to assist in bringing about !,
the railroad extension sought. Oliver r
I. Blackwell, representing the Wild Il
wood and Delaware Bay Short Line y
Company, next delivered to the Com n
m%issioners a petition from his COM a
oany praying for the grant of the :,
franchise referred Toto construct, a,
maintain and operate a p track to d
transport freight, express and passen- NJ
gers (subject, of course, to the ap- g
)roval of the State Board of Public
Jtilities) to run from the main stem =
N Oak avenue, at a point 255 feet s
northwest of Hudson avenue" The
grant is asked to run for a period of
50 years. Both petitions were ordered m
be received and filed and it was d
stated that a public hearing in the
natter will be arranged. The date for n
his hearing will be duly advertised. =
The following letter from T. J. Wood, =.
the West Jersey and Seashore Rail- :
road Company, was read:
"In connection with our conversa- =
lion relative to our driveway at Wild
wood avenue station, would advise p
hat we have ordered material to put =
the driveway in first class condition, IN
and just as soon as the material is de- pr
livered there, the work shall be COM =
pleted at nee. We expect to have it b,
done in the very near future. We ap- =
preciate that you are very much in re
terested in this matter and we are W
everything possible to hurry for q,
ward the material in question" k
City Engineer Wier submitted a plan n
he had made of Fountain Park, after m
surveying and marking the boundaries u
of same, as the Commissioners had re- p
quested him to do. His report stated a
he has placed concrete monu- 4
ments at the two westerly corners of :
the park to establish the boundary "
thereof. This park is not a perfect c
r%ectangle. From the marker on the y
Magnolia avenue side to the corner of p
Holly Beach avenue the distance des- ;
on the map is 1851 feet; :
from the monument on the Glenwood
side to the Holly Beach ave. /
nue. corner is only 1876 feet. The 0
map shows that a strip of this park h
along the westerly boundary, about :
TX feet in width, has been fenced off =
by means of a wire fence. p
