LAWYER Darnell Gives Some Interesting
Beach Front History

continued eating it's way back until it
finally reached and crossed Ocean ave-
nue. and Atlantic avenue.
After the Holly Beach City Improve
ment Company had sold all of it's lots,
its income ceased; it stopped paying
the state the rentals on it's riparian
lease until the state had an act passed
by the Legislature making it possible
to vacate the lease for non-payment
on six months notice. The company
had no money to pay with and as
signed its lease to individual stock
holders, all Of whom had notice and
an opportunity to join, and they paid
to the state all of the back rentals
which had accumulated to quite a
large amount, with interest, and sub
sequently the Beach Realty Company
was formed and acquired this lease
by assignment and afterwards paid to
the state the fee fixed by the commits
sion and secured it's commission into
a grant.
AS the present stockholders of the
Beach Realty Company are almost en-
tirely original stockholders of the
Holly Beach City improvement Com
pany, or heirs of deceased stockhold-
ers, they have had a long wait of about
80 years to have "Old Neptune" hand
back to them what he took away from
them in 1888, and have been compelled
from year to year during the whole of
that time to pay from their individual
pockets the necessary funds requisite
to hold their rights intact. An ele-
giant example of what patience and
perseverance may do.
Some years ago an application was
made by an owner of land on the west
erly side Of Beach avenue (the pres
ent new boardwalk to the Riparian
Commission for a grant of riparian
rights in front of his property. The
Commission refused the application
but directed the applicant to serve
notice upon the Beach Realty Com
pany of his application for a hearing.
A vast amount of testimony was taken
in the case with the result that the
able counsel of the applicant advised
that if he wanted the riparian rights
applied for he had better buy this from
the Beach Realty Company, which he
did and his effort abandoned, the title
thereto from the company being in
sured by the West Jersey Title and
Guaranty Co, of Camden, New Jersey
1 have prolonged this letter by Civ
ing you this brief history for the sole
purpose of enabling o. to judge
whether credence should be given tc
the questioner of the title in the con
sideration of the city's interest if you
shall be good enough to agree with me
in deciding that something along these
lines should be done at this time.
If this movement shall meet will
your approval and that of your fellow
commissioners l will indeed be glad t
cooperate with you in any way 1 cal
to aid or facilitate the same.
Yours very truly,

The Track Team

The track team of the w. H. S. has
started the spring training.
The squad is larger than usual this
year owing to the increase in enroll
ment. Although it is early to predict
anything yet, some good talent has
been demonstrated, and Unless all
signs fail the w. H. S. will have strong
teams to represent it in athletics this
year.
Arrangements have been completed
with the Millville High School Athletic
Association for a dual meet On April
Sth, and there is much enthusiasm be-
ing shown and we confidently look for
ward to a good showing.
A number of students are getting in
shape for the Annual Relay Races at
U. of p, on April 10Th. Wildwood is
classed with Mt. Holly, Palmyra, Sa-
lem, Leonia, Lakewood, Red Bank,
Caldwell and Haddon Heights. AL.
though we have never won, yet each
team hat we have sent have made a
good showing and we feel this is the
year we will win.

SENATOR BRIGHT AT ELMER

Zelo Lodge, No. 149, of Elmer, one
of the oldest Odd Fellow lodges in the
state, gave its annual banquet on Fri
day evening, February "a, 1922. In
covering the affair the Elmer Times
said:
During the meal music by Ian
ning's Orchestra, of Bridgeton, was so
spirited that the feeling was conta-
gious, and merry chatter, jokes and
laughter kept the atmosphere hum
ming.
There were many bright lights
among the throng to add to the spark
ling gaiety of the affair. One of them
was Zelo's Noble Grand, William
Faulkner, who had charge of the pro-
gram. He is indeed a live wire. An
other was Charles A. Baker, Newark,
Grand Master. Mr.. Baker gave a
splendid heart to heart talk on the
lofty ideals of 1. o. o. F. and expressed
a hope that in the future Elmer might
have a Rebecca Lodge to work hand in
hand with Zelo, 149.
And last, but not least, came Sena-
tor Bright, of Wildwood, Grand War
den. In his characteristic way he took
the reins in his own hands and with
his ready wit and humor made a
speech, instructed the orchestra, led
the choir and had the banqueters sing
ing 1.-THE Old Gray Mare" Zone Grass
hopper Jumped Right Over One Grass
hopper's Back" "She Sells Seashells
on the Seashore," and many other
songs endeared to US by familiar
usage.
In his talk Senator Bright spoke of
the principles on which the lodge is
founded, Friendship, Love and Truth.
He explained that there are more hui
man beings in need of friendship h
are in need of money. He continued,
"A nations wealth is in the smile of its
people, Beseeching the Odd Fellows
to supply this need today, he asked
them to be an evangelizing organ1za-
ton, a living friendship. Senator
Bright is still further a recipient OF
our respect because of the fortltude
with which he bore up under the
death of his son-in-law, Colonel Little,
who lost his life in England last sum-
mer, while trying out a dirigible pur-
chased from that country by our gov
eminent.
Mrs. Baker, of Newark, wife OF the
Grand Master, also sang a very pretty
Solo.
A. L. Sturr, the Oldest member OF
Zelo Lodge, was unable to be present
because of illness, but sent a letter to
be read in which he expressed IN a
graceful way his interest in the lodge
and his regret in not being able TO
participate in the pleasures of the an
nual banquet"

Dr.. Harris Speaks.

| DR.. John Royal Harris, represent
| ing the National Reform Association,
made return visit to Union City last
Sunday and made two addresses, one
at the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, and one at the Chautauqua
tent at the evening hour A very
large number Of people came to hear
DR.. Harris. A quartet of singers and
soloist, Miss .Poindexter, of Merid-
i ian, Miss, were present to assist in
the services. Rev. w. B. Cunning
ham read a portion of scripture and
Rev. Mathis offered prayer. The
speaker was introduced by DR.. Ba-
ker. He has way that disarms the
cynic and critic and invites your
sympathy. Lots of reformists make
the work matter of cant and it
smacks of narrowness and hypocrisy.
Not so with DR.. Harris. He is sensi-
BILE and materialistic. In the first
place he is a man of fine personal
character, and this is reflected in the
man and his manner.
DR.. Harris was not here to advo-
cate blueIlaws, but to appeal to the
better instincts and intelligences of
men and women for better things
in life. He stands for the law from
the greatest of law books ever given
to mantle Bible-for the Sunday
Of christian nation. He invites
us to draw away from the influences
of war and crime and disorder, and
to make ourselves useful in bringing
Stout the light of returning civiliza"
ton Law and disorder must be-
translated into law and order, and it
will take the efforts of every conscien-
tious man and woman to accomplish
the proper results.
DR.. Harris was for number of
years pastor of one of the Pittsburgh
churches and he took very active
part in the civic reform movement
of that city The efforts he and his
friends made in this work elected
mayor over a normally
large Republican majority, and Pitts
burgh enjoyed general cleaning
which continued for a number of
years.
