RESOLUTION

a manner beyond human understand
ing has entered our midst and taken
from our number in the very prime of
his life and usefulness our friend,
fellow-member and co-worker, Edward
Tedrick Nye; and,
Whereas, The late Mr.. Nye was a
valued member in the counsels of the
Board of Trade, and an energetic and
wise participant in the business and
educational development of this re-
sort; now, therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, By the Board of
Trade of Wildwood-by-the-Sea hat it
extend to the widow and family of the
late Mr.. Nye its deepest and most
heartfelt sympathy in this hour of
sadness and affection.
Weep not for death!
The fount of tears is sealed.
Who knows how bright the inward light
To those closed eyes revealed?
Who knows what holy love may fill
The heart that seems so cold and still.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That these
resolutions be spread on the minutes
of this Board of Trade, that a copy be
sent to the family, and that copies be
inserted in the local papers.
Mr.. Myers spoke on the bill now be-
fore the State Legislature. He read a
letter from County Superintendent of
Schools Brunyate telling that officials
opinion of the bill and then introduced
this resolution, which was adopted:
RESOLUTION
Whereas, There has been introduced
into the Senate of the State of New
Jersey by Senator Whitney, a bill

Whereas, The purport of the said
bill is to provide for the distribution
in the State School Tax upon days
attendance and teachers employed, in
stead of on a basis of ratables. Eli
inmates 10 per cen of reserve" and
Whereas, This proposed change is
detrimental to Cape May County, in
that it will deprive the county of thou
sands of dollars now coming from the
state; and,
Whereas, This proposed change will
create an added burden for the tax
payers of Cape May County, in that it
will necessitate a greater school tax
to maintain the schools at their pres
emit standard; and,
Whereas, The proposed measure it
self is unjust in that it places a pre-
MUM upon low valuation in the So
called "tax-dodging counties" Now,
therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, By the Board of
Trade of Observation-Disclosures that it
hereby strongly protests against the
passage of the proposed legislation,
and that it earnestly urges the Sena-
tor and Assemblyman from Cape May
County to use their utmost e%ndeavors
to defeat the bill aforesaid:

resolutions be SEN to the Senator and
Assemblyman from Cape May County;
that copies be sent to all civic bodies

He then gave his report and closed
by telling of his attending the Mayors
Convention at which he heard Cover
nor Silzer speak. He said, in speak
ing of the Governor and his address:
"Our present Governor is the acme of
honesty. The impression he made at
the Mayors Convention in Newark
this week was so strong that the en-
tire convention not only loudly ap-
plauded at the conclusion of his adj
dress but went on record as favoring
the work he was doing"
H. Schlenzig now offered a motion
that a committee be appointed to work
for the securing of a municipal gym

destination. In closing he said he
was glad to have been in Wildwood
that night and hoped to return to give
