yards within the last year-they are
a good thing and a source of great
enjoyment for the school children,
besides keeping many off the streets
out of the way of automobiles and
wagons. Occasionally a child gets
hurt on the slides or on the swings.
This is because the children try to do
stunts or some ~mischievious boy gets
fresh-you know what m~ischievious
boys are. Even though this does oc-
cur once in awhile the playground
apparatus Is a step in the right direc-
ton for the Board of Education-Con-
graduation!
Now hat City Hall has been reno
waited on the inside and is being re-
painted on the outside we will not be
ashamed of our present official head
quarters. In the near future we may
expect to have a more modern struc-
ture.
Someone with a vision to making
money started the rumor that the
City Commissioners would buy a tract
of land for a new City Hall. The
Commissioners listened to the propo-
sition then turned it down, for they
could not see the advisability of max
ing a purchase at such ar nuheard of
price. "The price is too high" is all
the Commissioners will say. Give
them credit for using their business
judgment.
The Wildwood City Band is n of
the City's greatest assets. The Direc-
tor, Oscar Huebner, gives much of his
time to this organization without a
cent of pay. This band turns out
whenever asked to do so. Do you ap-
preciate what this means to your city?
Boost for the wildwood City Band"
Commissioner IA" Taylor is re-
pairing the hardsurfaced streets and
will soon have his gang on Holly
pairing streets now and when the
City's finances will permit hardsur-
faced streets will be built" True
Ait takes money to do things and
you Boys inherited a bag Of debts.
Some people seem to forget this.
Congratulations Com. CARL: You
have turned a deficit into a profit and
are making the necessary improve
ments to meet the demand of a grow
ing resort.
If you to not understand this let us
tell you.
When the present Commissioners
took office a deficit of $4,000 existed
in the Water Department. This has
been wiped out and last year a profit
of $345 resulted.
And to meet the needs of a growing
resort a new Office has been built at
the Pine avenue station. The water
tanks have been repainted and IN
provements made to the off-shore
plant. Is this good business manage
ment or curbstone operations?
Are you aware: That until this
past year the wildwood Police De-
partment had no police manual, that
is a book of regulations for the police
and fire department?
That no traffic regulations were
enforced? They are now!
That no traffic marks were put on
the streets? They are now!
That no police machines were in
operation? They are now!
That the boardwalk was not illum-
mated the year round? 1t is now!
That the Fire Department didn't
have a sufficient amount Of hose and
equipment? 1t has now!
The Legion men coming to Wild
wood for the convention in Septem-
Der, will have a special flyer on the
Reading railroad-Atta boy, "Nobs!"
Are you going to the Booster ban
quet?
Tickets are ON sale and there will
be room for you.
Will you sell your property for
what it is assessed at?
Is your valuation within 65 per cent
of this price?
How much will it cost you to erect
a building like you own now?
Answer these questions before you
howl-be fair to yourself and to your
city.
