HOME SECTION ELECTS
OFFICERS.

On Thursday, May 18th, the Home
Section of the Civic Club held its reg
ular monthly meeting and annual
election.
The question of the rise of sugar
prices to a height that seems exorbi-
tant was a matter of considerable dis
cussion. Federated Women's Clubs of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania have
passed resolutions ~condemning the
rise and have asked their members to
refrain so far as possible from using
sugar until the prices have reached a
normal level.
The Home Section passed a similar
resolution and will endeavor to have
all members and housewives cooper
ate with them in the effort to put an
end to what appears to them a work
of the gamblers art in juggling the
cost of necessities.
Officers elected for the coming year
are: President, Mrs. Washington Hill
ton; Vice-President, Mrs. George H.
Davis; Secretary, Mrs. Lanning
Myers; Treasurer, Mrs. Harry Wise.

TENNIS THE VOGUE.

The public tennis courts, opposite
the railroad stations, are evidencing
the awakening interest in tennis
among the younger set. In the morn
ings before school there are always
some players on the courts and in the
afternoon special arrangements have
to be made to allot the courts so that
every player can be accommodated.
Nh. Gulick, who is taking an active
part in the game, states that at least
d half-dozen more courts could be used
to advantage right now. He and all
of the players are looking forward to
the time when the new city courts on
Park Boulevard will be ready for play.
The Trustees of the Wildwood Golf
Club are also preparing to build courts
adjoining the club house. 1t is their
intention if practicable to have the
coming TEENS tournaments which r
being arranges under the auspices of
the Bachelors Club played at the
Golf Club.
Tennis is one of the most popular
and most strenuous of games. No
games, with the exception of baseball
and football, is receiving greater pub
licity than tennis. And what is of
more worth to Young America, no
games has developed a higher stand
ard of craftsmanship.

FIRE CHIEF TAKES UP ESCAPE
ISSUE
Hotelmen Warned to install Es-
capes in Hostelries to Con-
form With State and
Local Laws
STATEMENT

Following the mailing to local hotel
men copies of the state and municipal
laws on requirements for fire escapes,
considerable criticism was voiced by
some hotel owners over the order to
install escapes before opening for
business this spring.
In replyAto the hotelmen Chief Nick
erson issued the statement below.
Copies of the state law and city or
dinance can be had by applying at
City Hall.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
1t has come to the writer's attention
that the Mayor of our city is being
criticised for enforcing a certain
known State Fire Escape Law and
City Ordinance covering same.
The writer wants it distinctly un-
derstood and for the critics to take
notice that the Mayor is entirely
blameless and cannot be held to ac-
count in any way. The law specifi-
cally defines whose duty it is to see
that the fire escapes are installed,
both inside and outside, and specifies
the penalty for ignoring the same. The
law defines the officer to do the in
spection and enforcement.
The state law and also the city or
dinance will be followed to the letter.

Chief of Department and
Inspector of Fire Escapes.

If you to not understand this let us

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 i'm
provements made to the off-shore
plant. Is this good business manage

Are you aware: That until this

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

That the boardwalk was not illum-

Playground apparatus made its first

Playground apparatus made its first
appearance in Wildwood school
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 mischievious
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-

That the Board of Education is an
Independent organization functioning
apart from municipal government does
not seem to be generally known, but
such is the fact. The Board is self
governing as far as local authorities
are concerned and after deciding upon
it's program and needs make their
recommendations to the Board of
School Estimate at the end of the
year.
The rapid growth Of the Wildwood
schools makes the Board position one
of more than empty honors, in fact
the members hold one of the most re-
sponsible positions in modern govern
