COURTROOM TO
Be RENOVATED
New Ventilating System VIII Be
Installed at Mays Landing
Board Approves Plans.
Price Gets New Car

At the regular meeting OF the Coun
ty Board of Freeholders on Wednes
day Ira T. B. Smith, Chairman of the
Public Buildings Committee, reported
that the ventilation of the courtrooms
al Mays Landing was so poor at pres
ent that a change was imperative.
Plans drawn by Architect S. Hudson
Vaughn, calling for a ventilation sye-
tenn to cost s2500, were approved by
the Board. Bids will be advertised
for, to be received at the next regular
meeting of the Board.
The Board voted to award a con
tract TO Edward G.. Kurtz, of Ocean
of $3,342.50. This new automobile is
for the use of County Road Supervisor
Japhet Price. The Board also autho
rized advertisements inserted for bids
for an open two-passenger Haynes a
for the use of County Engineer Mel
son. In introducing the resolution,
Chairman Tomlin, of the Road Com
mittee, stated that under the present
arrangement the county was giving
Mr.. Nelson fifteen fifteen cents a mile
for automobile hire.
1t was expected that some sort OF a
resolution regarding a new road and
bridge to connect Brigantine Beach
with the mainland would be offered at
this meeting, but no action was taken
in the matter. Sentiment anon
some of the Freeholders was decided
ly opposed to the county financing the
building of the road and bridge. They
hold to the belief that it is essentially
a matter for private capital. since il
is private persons who will reap the
greatest benefit. They point TO the
Ocean City-Somers Point bridge as an
example of the right way" to do il.
A delegation of women representing
a number of organizations attended
the session for the purpose of urging
the need of a detention home on the
Freeholders. The Board adjourned
before they had an opportunity to be
heard.

ANNUAL BUDGET
IS PREPARED
Council Takes Appropriation Or
dinance Up for First Reading
AT Special Meeting.
Makes High Tax Rate

City Council held a special meeting
On Wednesday night and took action
on the annual budget for 1928. 1t
passed on first reading and will be
taken up for final passage on Febru-
airy 26th, at another special meeting.
The total amount appropriated this
year, exclusive of the school appropri-
alton, is ~$127,320.98. For 1922 the
appropriations totaled $~72,872.07.
OF the total there will be raised by
surplus revenue appropriated, gross
receipt tax, mercantile licenses and
other miscellaneous matters a sum
that will make the amount to be rails
ed by taxation $95, 200.98 This will
mean a higher tax rate for 1928 than
ever before in Pleasantville. 1t has
been figured that the tax rate for 1928
will probably be around s4.70 to $4.75.
This will not be definitely known un-
til the Atlantic County Tax Board
has all the budgets from every Coanty
municipality.
While the tax rate is higher than
ever before, there are improvements
ito be made this year, and actually
needed in the growing city, that if ne
elected at this time would cost much
more in future years.. Things will
even themselves up in future tax
rates, which will be lower because of
increased valuations and the payment
this year of money that will save in
terest by being taken care of at this
time.
For instance, there is nearly SIS, 900
added to streets and lights for this
year as against last year. Everybody
knows the condition of some of the
streets now and the money to be
spent will cause a saving in this di-
rection in other years. There is also
about 100000 needed for sewerage OPP
Grafton and interest on sewer bonds
which will be reduced in future. At
the meeting on February 26th, any
citizen who desires may be heard on
any objections that may be had 10 the
appropriations.
