Chamber Favors Bus Lines.
The Absecon Chamber of Commerce
unanimously went on record Tuesday
evening as favoring Bus t~ransporta-
lion TO PleasantYille and Atlantic City.
Events OF recent happening as 10 bad
service, and reported attitude Of the
trolley company. against the operation
OF Bus lines, serve TO cause this Or
%ganization to publicly favor and en-
courage Bus transportation One line
is now in operation 10 Atlantic City
over the Absecon Boulevard; another
is Contemplated to Atlantic City via
P~Ieasantville.
The Shore Road is a subject that
serves TO infuriate the motorist every
time he rides over it. and the tax
payer every time he recalls how little
service it has given and the future
cost of improvement.
The Chamber of Commerce Of Som
ers Point and Pleasantville have been
invited TO meet with the Absecon
Chamber at its March meeting, and
discuss ways and means for Shore
Road improvement.
The Chamber has been approached
by an Atlantic City teacher as to the
feasibility of establishing a private
kindergarten. Moral support would
be given, but it is hoped that the city
will establish and support the needed
Foundation for our excellent school.
