During the month of February the
city electrician issued 33 certificates,
granted 3S permits; fees collected for
these services amounted to $79.75.
The plumbing inspectors reports
gave the number of plans approved
and filed as 10, fees, $43.75.
Thirty-four searches were made by
the city tax collector, netting $65.25
in fees.
Several communications were read.
One from A. N. Barber, secretary of
the State Board of Public Utility Com
mission, enclosed a report made by
their inspector, James Maybury, Jr.,
chief of the Bureau of Railroads. The
City of Wildwood had requested the
Utility Commission to recommend the
placing of safety gates at the Park
boulevard crossing of the Wildwood
and Delaware Bay Short Line Rail-
road. After making a trip to Wild
wood to ascertain if the request had
sufficient merit to warrant the Utility
Commission in recommending or re-
questing that the railroad company
locate safety gates at the crossing
mentioned, Mr.. Maybury must have
decided in the negative, for he wrote
into his report this concluding SEN
tence:
GAS train movements are neces-
sarily slow in crossing Park boule-
ward, said point being practically the
terminus of the line, | am of-the opin-
ion that the protection as arranged
with the executive officers of this road
will reasonably cover the necessary
protection" He meant by the words,
protection as arranged" that this
company has agreed or promised to
place a f1agman on duty there from
May 18th to October 18th, a period of
five months. For the remainder of the
months this crossing will have no pro-
lection, same as the Rio Grande and
Oak avenue crossings of the West
Jersey and Seashore road, repeated
efforts of the City Commissioners to
have safety gates installed at the most
dangerous points resulting in failure.
Mr.. Maybury's opinion will hardly CO.
incide with the opinions held by many
citizens conversant with traffic condi-
lions in the Park boulevard section.
Henry H. Ottens sent a letter of re-
quest to the Commissioners for a
water main to be laid on 18th avenue,
between New York and Delaware ave-
nues. He said he has now under
course of construction in this block
two cottages and about to begin an
other one. This letter was referred to
the water department.
The secretary of the Wildwood
Board of Trade wrote as follows to
the Commissioners:
"In compliance with your request
that an itemized bill be rendered the
city for all expenses incurred by the
Board of Trade, relative to the ac-
QUESTION of the ball park, the secre-
tary is filing a statement of expendi-
lures made by the organization for the
leasing, the purchase of the material,
the moving of the old grand stand and
fence and the filling and grading of
said park on Park boulevard, between
Spicer and Young avenues"
A statement accompanied the letter
showing total amount paid out by the
Board of Trade to have been SIS, 223. 33.
The city had previously paid out, on
account of this park, to the Thomas
Montgomery estate, the sum Of $5,-
