teal position from a Democratic
standpoint, objecting to what he called
scant courtesy to the Assemblyman
and advocated that action be taken on
it one way or the other, stating hat
he himself was in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Harris denounced the bill as poll
teal intrigue in such straight to the
shoulder language hat President Og-
den called him to order. After con-
siderable debate the motion was car
ried by a yea and nay vote, the Wild
wood delegation being divided on the
subject. Assemblyman Stevens was
present and explained his attitude on
the bill. No one accused MrA Stevens
of political scheming and it was the
opinion of most everybody that he in
troduced the bill with the best of mo-
tives. However, many taxpayers take
the stand that the three present Free
holders were elected last November by
the voters of the whole county by a
good majority. These three having
been in office only two months, it
seems they should be given a year or

business to be continually tampering
with the laws. The Journal has al
ways believed that County Freeholders
Champion, Foster and Kay are big
enough and broad minded enough to
~legislate for the entire county, a
square deal to every part of it. Give
them a chance to make good. The
Journal is not so cynical as to be-
lieve that Mr.. Kay will legislate for
Wildwood to the detriment of the other
parts of the county. We want him to
be big enough to give a square deal
to everybody, including the farming
districts, from one end of the county
to the other. We also believe that Joe
Champion is big enough to do these
things, so why need Al Laning worry?
Let him devote himself to electing a
Democratic Congressman from this
district next November. The political
waters of the meeting soon quieted
down and left the air clear and crisp
after the explosion. The meeting
continued on it's way with addresses
by County Superintendent Brunyate
and Wilson J. Vance, Of Newark, Sec
rotary of the State Chamber of Com
merce. After the meeting all gath

front of the room and enjoyed the

explained in detail all the phases of
the situation and showed very clearly
the delicate position in which the city
is placed by the refusal of the Beach
Realty Co. to permit Contractor Rich
ard H. Coney, individually, to take any
sand from the beach front, this COM
pany claiming riparian rights thereto.
This company is asking two and one
half cents per cubic yard for the privi-
lege of obtaining sand on the front,
but will not sell direct to Coney. 1t
is the aim of this company to deal
with the city in the matter, having
| asked the Commissioners to purchase
the quantity of sand needed by the
contractor. For good and valid rea-
sons this the Commissioners refuse to
do. The Mayor said it was not up to
the city to supply Mr.. Coney with the
sand needed for the fill; but that the
Commissioners were ready n will
ing to aid him in any way they could
to find a source of supply. With this
thought in mind condemnation pro-
ceedings were suggested covering a
section of the beach front; but that
proposition is not now considered
feasible. Nothing has been done along
that line, as yet, and nothing likely
will be done for the present. Thu ulti7
mate aim of the city is to obtain con-
troll of the whole front and not any
one section of it.
The Beach Realty Company is said
to consist Of six members. The re
fusal of this company to sell sand to
Mr.. Coney direct has resulted in much
acrimonious comment. At two and
one-half cents per cubic yard the con-
tractor says the cost of the sand alone
would be in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Then the Beach Company
wants to impose other restrictions and
conditions, making the city respon-
sible for all. From remarks made by
Mr.. Coney it may be inferred that it is
impossible for him to go on with his
contract because of the almost pro-
hibitive demands made by the Beach
Realty Company. What the outcome
of the contention will be can only be
guessed at. Unless the land COM
pany yields in its exactions and plans
it looks as if no filling in will be done
this spring.
Last weeks Journal did not fur
nish a complete list Of the members
said to compose the Beach Realty Co.
The following list is presumed to be
correct: Charlie A. Norton, Charles S.
Burk, Harry c. Spencer, William Gold
stein, William S. Darnell and Latimer
r. Baker.

COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETING WAS SPICY

The last meeting of the Cape May
County Chamber of Commerce had
some spicy features which were not
on the program. The meeting was
held on Friday evening of last week
in the Wildwood High School Audi
torium, and the gathering was well
coined by H. Foster Goslin, president
of the Wildwood Board of Trade, who
was accompanied to the meeting by
his wife. The stirring action came
after the reading of a letter from As
seblyman Stevens asking for an ex-
preston of opinion of the chamber on
the merits of his bill to increase the
Board of Freebooter membership from
hire to five. ]. Albert Harris moved
that the letter be laid on the table,
which was seconded by Surrogate
Fitch. In a moment Roarer Al Lam

LIONS ELECT OFFICERS AND HOLD
INTERESTING MEETING

At the weekly meeting of the Lions
Club last Friday night the organiza-
ton went on record as favoring the
bill introduced by Assemblyman Ralph
T. Stevens increasing the member
ship of the Cape May County Board of
Freeholders from three to five. There
was some opposition to the bill in the
the Lions den, and the motion to ap-
prove the bill was not carried unani-
mously. Big Lion Senator Bright left
the presiding officers chair and spoke
for the bill. officers for the coming
year were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Senator W. H. Bright; first, sect
and third vice presidents, A. D. Austin,
e. G. Slaughter, NJ. Leedom; secre-
Dave Young; lion tanner, Sol. OF
finger; tail twister, Howard Banks;
directors, Robert Bright, City Clerk
Gus He'll, Forrest Rich and Charles
Page. The membership list was gone
over and a lot of dead wood weeded
out. Members not paying their dues
promptly and those missing three
meetings in succession without valid
u will be dropped from the roll.
The meetings are featured by the
sparkling wit and good nature of Big
Lion w. H. Bright, who referred last
Friday night to his membership on the
Appropriations Committee of the New
Jersey Legislature and promised at
some future meeting to speak on this
subject. He may speak on this sub
ject tonight at the luncheon and all
Lions will miss a treat if they fail to
hear it. The luncheons are now held
in the Wildwood Athletic Club build
ing. long known as the Leisenring
property as Glenwood and Pacific ave
nues. The speaker and guest of the
evening was H. Foster Goslin, presi-
dent of the Wildwood Board of Trade,
who gave an eloquent address.
