MORE BUILDING PERMITS

On December 2d we printed in u columns a table showing the building
permits issued IN the Island during the past two OF three months. The total
amount of the estimated work on these contracts was of such size that it
brought considerable comment from our readers. As a result of this comment
that date in the various sections If the Island. This table IS exclusive of
the permits issued in Wildwood and reported two weeks ago in the Journal. 1t
is evident that tn building boom If Five Mile Beach is going to see very little
let up during the spring months.

This sand shows no water

Cruelty to Animals
And Track Gambling

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star of the 10th instant
Mr.. Frederick Dale has gracicusly
made known to the public another
cruelty practiced by those who seek
to gain at anothers loss. The
placing OF sponges uD the nostrils of
race horses in order that they col
lapse in the midst of a race is but
one of the many tricks at cheating
displayed on the turf.
With this knowledge of cruelty.
along with others attendant to the
game, let us hope that Mr.. Dale will
become a member Of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
and use his influence with the sport
ing men to likewise Cooperate with
abling them to aid in the capture of
these night providers and the pro-
lection of the helpless dumb crea-
lures.
I wonder If it has occurred to Mr..
Dale which of the two organiza tions,
the humane societies, as a whole. or
the racing associations is the ADLER
one to have vigilance force in
operation for the needed protection? ?
The dear. dumb animals. whether
the property of the gambler or the
saint, if occasion arises for the hu-
name societies to act in their behalf.
are cared for according TO their
