UTILITY EXPERT
RECOMMENDS
Suggests Substituting Bps Line for
Trolley on Shore Road at Co.
Chamber Session.
THE BYLAWS ARE AMENDED

The severe storm of Tuesday night
made but little impress upon the mem
bers of the Atlantic County Chamber
of Commerce, which body met at the
Council Chambers in Somers Point
with members of the Cape May County
Chamber of Commerce as guests.
President Lewis B. Matthias presided
and welcomed the guests in a speech
calling upon them to cooperate with
their Atlantic County neighbors in a
general discussion and action on mat
tiers of interest to both counties, such
as furthering the speedy building of
the Beesley's Point bridge, the i'm
provement of the inland waterways,
the bringing of the farmer into closer
touch with his markets and the con-
%servation of fish and game.
Mayor George Coll, of Somers Point,
extended a welcome and the freedom
of the city.
The Highway Committee reported
that a meeting with President Walter
j. Buzby, of the Good Roads Associa-
ton, and President Frank Brodhead,
of the State Automobile Trades Asso-
citation, had been held. At this meet
ing it was recommended that before
definite action is taken regarding eff
forts to have a new highway construc-
ted between Absecon and Somers
Point to relieve congestion on the
present Shore road, the committee
should secure estimates of the cost of
such a highway and a definite plan or
drawing of the proposed location of
the highway. A motion prevailed that
the Highway Committee have a plan
prepared and ascertain the cost and
report at the next meeting of the Coun-
ty Chamber. Mr.. Buzby said that the
need of such a highway at this time
was apparent and that it should be
constructed, or at least started and be
we'll under way in 1924.
Philander Bette, chief inspector of
the New Jersey Public Utilities Com
mission, submitted a report on the
shore trolley situation, in which he
urged motor bus service on the Shore
road between Absecon and Pleasant
Vile, and the elimination of one-man
cars on the Suburban line. He sub
mitted a thorough and exhaustive re-
port of all phases of the, trolley SER
vice between the shore and the main
land, calling attention to duplication
of service and need of repair work.

that the Associated Charities is ask

That the appeal is in fact a popu-

ever before. A tally of the contrib
