Divide HOnOrS With
DUPONT Country Club
PennS Grove CarneyS Point
Teams Win At Tennis, But
Lose At Golf

The Penns Grove Carneys Point
golf and tennis teams played return
matches with the DUPONT Country Club
teams, at Wilmington, on Saturday
and showed big improvement in their
games compared to the recent match
in Penns Grove.
The local teams put up such a good
game in tennis. with all of the regu-
lars playing, that they emerged vie
toriouS in a final score of 7-6. In the
golf matches the local mems team
made it close with a final score of9-6,
while the women nearly clenched a
victory with 4-3 The closeness of the
women's matches and the small mar
gin by which they met defeat is shown
in the match between Mrs. Mitchell,
of Penns Grove, and Miss Beacon, of
the DUPONT Club, which proved to be
the deciding match and which went to
eleven holes when Miss Beacon won
out by one up.
The mems golf tournament was
close with a final of 81 in favor of
the DUPONT Club and three matches
went unfinished because of darkness.
In these matches Locuson was fighting
it out with Mahoney at the eighteenth
hole and Brown with Orem at the
seventeenth and Montague with Ma
son at the nineteenth hole, when the
shades of night fell.
The tennis tournament, however,
proved bit more favorable for those
from across the river. The dupont Club
took five out of the nine single
matches, but the Carneys Point double
teams were not to be beaten and they
took three out of the four. The final
doubles proved to be one of tense mo-
ments with the score standing 6-6
when Duke and Breidenbach took the
court against Adamson and Potter.
The first set went Oil, but then Duke
Brendenbach combination got stronger
with each game, took the second set
TO and made grand finish with 6-1
and victory.
Following the afternon of sport the
visitors were taken to the Hotel du-
Pont grill room, where they were en-
tertained at dinner, and a pleasing
program was provided by Miss Ann
K. Harkins, chairman of the commit
tee. Mr.. Mahony, president of the
local club, acted as postmaster, made
1t instead of a feast, a royal good time
for all, for after he had finished with
his welcome to the visitors and com
pllmenting them on taking back the
honors IN the tennis, he called on DR..
Kirk, president of the Penns Grove
Caneys Point Club, who accepted the
hoaors and made appropriate remarks.
pralslng the fine sportsmanship and
good fellowship with the sincere hope
that 1t would continue to exist.

MRS. STEPHENSON BUYS LOT

Mrs. Emily Stephenson, of Marcus
Hook, Delaware County, Pa, made a
flying trip to Wildwood last Friday,
arriving 1910 A. M. and leaving at lao
P. M. 1t was a business trip, pure
and simple. In the brief space of
time mentioned she completed nego-
tiations with the King Realty Co. for
the purchase of a lot, 80 K 80, at the
corner of Glenwood and Lake avenues,
west side, and gave orders for the
erection of a bungalow thereon, to be
ready for occupancy by June LIST. 1t
vas mentioned that the front portion
of this building will be arranged as a
store room. The new bridge is to be
thrown across Sunset Lake at Glen
wood avenue intersection, hence bust
less ventures may crop up in this
vicinity.

negotiations already entered into with
some of the owners We shall use
every possible effort to secure as
many signatures as possible before
next Tuesday, March goth.
"This contractor has spent consid-
cradle time and money in finding
suitable machinery and has arranged
to procure the necessary pipe and
other equipment. He is advised that
it will require from four to six weeks
time for the pipe to be delivered here,
but he is ready to go ahead with the
construction of the bulkhead and re-
tanning fence just as soon as he has
definite assurance that a supply of
sand may be had from the front. The
Beach Realty Co.. being in control of
nearly the whole ocean front holds
the whip hand, apparently, and is in
a position to dictate such terms as it
sees fit, regardless of whether they be
capable of performance or not"
This letter speaks for itself and
puts the beach front problem in a nut
shell. The exactions and restrictions
sought to be imposed on the contrac-
tor and the city are e-xtravagant be-
yond reason. Mr.. Coney was granted
another extension of time for the be-
ginning of the work, so as to ascertain
if there be not some possible way to
obtain sand from some other source.
He is expected to report again by the
next meeting of the Commissioners.
It is believed in some circles that the
city will consistently and steadfastly
refuse to enter into any negotiations
or make any agreements whatever
with the Beach Realty Co.
Under the heading of new business
a. resolution was passed authorizing
the execution of a temporary improve
ment note by the city. The principal
Of this note was given at $3.50, when
discounted, the proceeds are to be ap-
piled in completing improvements I'M
der Ordinance No. 73.
One new major measure was intro
duced and passed on first and second
readings. 1t will come up for final
consideration and passage on Tues
day, March 9th. Any taxpayer who
may wish to amend or object to any
of the items of this act will be heard
at that date. The measure referred to
is known as the 1923 Budget Ordi-
nance, outlined as below appeareth:
THAT there shall be assessed,
raised by taxation and collected for
the fiscal year of 1928, including spec
ial school tax, the sum of ~$271,117.07.
Then follow the itemized schedules:
Surplus revenue appro-
priated $37, 1O9.46
Miscellaneous revenues. $4,000
Amount to be raised by tax
alton for city purposes =. 20O,117.O7
Additional amount to be
raised for school pur-
poses 100000
Total 1857, 1868
Budget appropriations ...$2S6,326.53
Additional for schools -. 100000
Total appropriations ...$357, S26.53
Last years budget appro-
priations totaled ........ $316,104.26
Excess of 1928 over 1922. ~41,222.27
The Mayor circulated a sheet of
bond paper containing the tax rates
for 1928 of all the taxing districts of
Cape May County, the quotation of a
few of which may prove interesting
and instructive to property wners
and taxpayers on Five Mile Beach:
Per 500 Valuation
Wildwood .$4.O2
North Wildwood ............. 4.34
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1923-03-16

West CAPE May .............. $50
Ocean City APO
Sea Isle City 4.50
Z Wildwood's tax rate last year was
$4.66. This years rate would seem
to indicate a reduction of taxes; but
one Of the knowing ones smiled as he
cautioned a listener: "Wait till the
people get their tax bills" Did he
mean to have us infer that assess
ments may have been kited neon
sciously? The fact is that the total
wildwood assessment is two million
dollars more than last year. About
pne-half of this represents new build
ings and the balance is because of in
creased assessments on buildings and
lots east of the railroad. The tax bills
will reveal that the taxes west of the
railroad will be somewhat lower be-
cause assessments there have either
been lowered or remain the same as
last year.. But if you own property on
Pacific avenue, look out.
The County Board of Taxation by
whom the rate is fixed is composed Of
these four members: S. A. Laning,
Wildwood, president; E. L. Rice,
Tuckahoe, secretary; Charles Bohm,
Cape May, and Major E. o. Howell,
Avalon.
The Commissioners authorized the
city clerk to issue a 1923 taxicab Ii

Forcum and Frank B.. Dixon.

cation for a taxi drivers license. I'm
der the rules his petition was laid
over for 80 days. This applicant is
recommends by Forrest M. Rich and
David G. Young.
Several building permits were taken
out the week before:
By Thomas J. Hamilton, contractor,
for Miss Eloise Bright, to build two
dwellings, Leaning avenue, West of
Pacific avenue, the pair to cost SO, 1000.
By John A. Moore & Son, contrac-
tors, for c. Probinsky,s Maple avenue,
East of Atlantic avenue, apartment
building, % K AZ, frame, with outside
stucco finish, to cost $500.
By F. P. Brewer, contractor, for
Zebman and Schwartz, owners of the
Chalfonte, Pacific avenue near Gar
field avenue, repairs, costing $3.50.
! By Israel T. Woolson, to build a
shop on Andrew avenue, West of rail-
road, at $500.
The topic uppermost in e~verybody's
thought at last Tuesdays meeting was,
of course, the beach front muddle and
no one anticipated any additional ex-
element, but it arose all the same.
John T. Byrne, who owns property
along the boardwalk below Garfield
avenue, started something when he
arose to address the Commissioners in
reference to the assessments laid
sometime ago by the Commissioners
of Assessment in the matter of sewers
concerning the beach front section
bounded by Lincoln venue on the
north and Montgomery ven On the
south. The total amount involved in
the. apportionment referred to was
$8,943.98 Lot owners in the area be-
tween Atlantic avenue and Ocean ave-
nue. were assessed at the rate of
$44.35 per lot; in the area between
Ocean avenue and Beach avenue $25
per lot was assessed. In some of this
