PHILADELPHIA COUNCILMAN AND
SUPERINTENDENT LEWIS WILL
SPEAK AT BOARD OF TRADE
MEETING

The regular monthly meeting of the
High School Auditorium, Thursday
evening, April 9Th. There will be many
special features, among them adj
dresses by Charles H. Won Tagen,
Councilman, 9Th District, Philadelphia,
and P. S. Lewis, superintendent of the
Atlantic City Railroad. There will be
other Reading officials with them and
they will probably make brief adj
dresses. Mrs. Charles Kinsell, So
prano s~oloist, and graduate Of the
Boston Conservatory of Music, will
sing a number of selections. Mrs.
Kinsell is the wife of the representa-
tive of the Hunts Theatre interests in
Wildwood. She has had considerable
concert stage experience and has a
pleasing voice and charming person
atty. The local bank directors are to
be the special guests of the evening.
At the meeting a report will be made
by the Advertising Committee as to
where the 1922 appropriation will be
spent, and the Golf Committee also has
a report to make on the progress of
the Golf Club; and the road sign COM
mittee will report on its disposition of
the metallic road signs which will be
erected on the highways of New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania, and possibly
down to Baltimore and Washington.
The secretary will also have along

them. They are so cents a pair.
Everyone is invited to attend this
meeting, so as to bring forth the ideas
for town betterment and advancement.
Refreshments will be served after the
business session. The call for this
meeting is a gem, and a pretty clever
one. Said President Foster Goslin to
the managing secretary: "Courtright,
get out a meeting notice that is diff
%ferent, n that will attract the atten-
ton of the members. Emphasize the
date of the meeting and swell the at
tendance" The Mayor of Wildwood,
who happens to be COPYRIGHT, in
stantly got on the job and prepared the
dummy for a 6-page call to arms,
Chapter One of which reads: "Obeying
the edict, the message you are reading
is the result. Its effectiveness will
only be known when the roll is called
at the spring meeting. Well be look
ing for you. May u eyesight not
grow dim searching for you and your
friends" For the matter contained
in the other five pages see the COLDER

COMMUNICATED

Wildwood, N. j., March 80, 1922.
Editor Journal:
I understand that a letter was read
at the last Commissioners meeting
from Mr.. A. H. Riddell, suggesting that
the city consider operating the electric
and trolley companies, and seeming to
have some authority from the owners,
and understand they are willing to
give us first chance.
These companies are successful, and
the taxpayers should carefully con-
slider this matter in every detail be-
fore finally deciding.
There has been some talk of the
Atlantic City Company taking the COM
panies over and supplying electricity
from that city, but let us hope this will
not come to pass, as we are growing
rapidly and will soon be in Atlantic
City's class ourselves, and large
enough to have it's W supply of
electricity.
Let us give the matter our best con-
sideration.

steel shell. According to reports of
the last two divers the only way a
stick or rod could be pushed in or
under the cylinder would be under the
concrete, and in this case, according
to Engineer Leaning Rice, who was
the engineer on the job when the
bridge was built, the bottom of the
channel would have to wash out to the
depth of six feet. The last two divers
reports state that no such conditions
exist.
In the threshing out process We'd
nesday afternoon before the Board,
Mr.. Campbell stated that he was not
anxious for the contract in the first
place and that he had reported that
the iron work of the bridge and the
electric work needed attention, but
that he had said he did not know him
self anything about the structure I'M
der water, depending upon the diver
for that information. This was veri-
fed by the Freeholders. Mr.. Campbell
said that nothing serious had hap
pened, nobody was hurt and that he
wanted "the general public to know
that l can live without doing work in
Cape May County, but expect to do
more. But" he added, when do l
will have a contract first"
It appears that the bridge question
was started by the residents living
nearby, and, by statement of a Free
holder, by bridge tender Harry Dick,
whowas also positive he could stick
a rod into the foundations. Made
worse by apparent misstatements of
the first diver whose affidavit has not
been substantiated by the reports Of
four others, namely, diver William
Wilson, field superintendent William
Essington, of the Bader company;
Captain Mexican, of Wildwood, and
w. Lowell Campbell, of the Campbell
Company. Citizens, headed by Israel
T. Woolson, created the next chapter
by creating a sentiment for complete
investigation and a Showdown" to
prove the bridge either safe or unsafe
to everyone's satisfaction. The Free
holders, to clear the atmosphere and
reach a definite conclusion made their
own investigations and closed the
story by the meeting Wednesday when
the resolution to award to meet an
emergency was rescinded by another
resolution. There was no action neces-
sary with regard to the contract, as it
had not been executed. Before the
close of the meeting, chairman of the
bridge committee Stein was called on
the phone to appear before the Grand
Jury at Cape May Court House.
Considerable feeling was exhibited
the meeting on Wednesday be-
tween Mr.. Woolson and the Board of
Freeholders, and at times the presid-
ing officer was forced to rap for order.
In the minds of many interested
persons there is a question still re-
naming.
Why did William Gannan make a re-
port, which according to all others is
untrue; and if Mr.. Campbell expects,
as he stated, to do more work in Cape
May County he owes it to himself to
get Gannan's answer to the question.

work is now under advisement by the

to give aid and make suggestions for
making the home grounds at the va
rious resorts more attractive. Pic
lures were also shown. The meeting
was arranged by the Civic Club Home

employed by the County Board of
