WYOMING AVE.
MODERN MIRACLE
AT ABSECON

Concluded from Page One.)
Gle brought about, one asks? The
first move came when a group of
residents OF Wyoming avenue came
before the Absecon City Council
a few yars ago. I'VE want our
street taken over and improved by
the city We want lights, telephone
service, gas, electricity, and other
improvements" was their cry.
But the members of Council were
powerless. They could not take over
the street until it was improved,
and the developers and property
owners could not improve it; they
didn't have the funds, for one thing
And utilities don't run modern inn
proyements up winding roads that
are only fit for one way traffic No
sir.
And so the matter stood, seem
ingly hopeless.
And then along came the two
Republican Freeholders from Abb
secon with scheme which would
straighten things out. a connect
ing link was needed from the
White Horse Pike, to the New
York road Plans were thought out
whereby Wyoming avenue would
be part of that connecting link.
The news leaked out Wyoming
avenue residents were jubilant. The
needed improvements We're just
around the corner 1t wouldn't be
long now.
Meanwhile Freeholder AltgG,1
Roger got busy. The project was
brought before the Atlantic County
Board Of Freeholders. Director
Doughty got behind it,
Councilman A. J. Kurtz did an
enormous amount Of work on detil
of property releases along the right
of way
Plans were Immediately made to
have the county cut a Wide - foot
boulevard through Mnlcli woulu I'M
prove Wyoming avenue.
Grades were taken, the develop
ers had never taken the trouble
to have Wyoming avenue surveyed
before they had sold property

owners in that section lots, and the
long process Of placing the street
on grade started This grading
work is still being continued.
All this was done Tor The Oaks"
by the Freeholders and Councilmen
to give them a better street and
the things which they desired 1t
was done after the city of Absecon
had found itself p0Werless to do
anything. 1t was done with the aid
of Freebooter "Ar' Roger, despite
the fact that large service station
owned by him at the corner of the
White Horse Pike and the New
York road would be injured by the
traffic which would take the new
road without going by his place of
business
Today THE Oaks development
is one of the modern ones which
have sprung up on Wyoming ave
nue. Many bungalows have been
built, and house happy families.
But the cutting the street through
the county has found it necessary
to take portion of eacl. ~roperty
owners land In ST. cases but
little front lawn remains for the
home owner there. In two instan-
ces houses have been left perchcd
on top of Il small cmbankment,
from eight to twelve feet high
This, however, is not the fault
of the county. 1t is rather the fault
of promoters of the development
who failed to have the street sur
Veyed before they sold lots there.
The county worked as it best could
and made The improvement at the
least harm to the property owners
possible.

JAMES BECOMES
 BIGGEST R. R. MAN
Acquires New Block Of StOCk--
 Is Prominent YaChtSman

New York. June II CPj - Com modore Allan Curtiss James. capi- talist, yachtsman and society lead CT, has become the largest single owner of railroad property in the country with his acquisition of a large block of Western Pacific stock, it is said on Wall street
 Although definite figures were not available, it was known that Mr. James was already one of the principal owners Of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railroads. and through them of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy, and is popularly credited with ownership of the largest single block of stock in the Southern Pa ciflc. His holdings in this group make him a factor in over 10000 miles of western railways. and he is known to have smaller interests in other railroads.
 Wall street proresses 10 see a possible realignment Of western roads in the James purchase with an equal possibility Of conflict with another recently organized system that promoted by L. r. Loree, and comprising the Kansas City Southern, the St. Louis Southwest ern, and the Missouri Kansas and Texas. However, Nlr. James assert ed yesterday that his move was purely a "personal' investment. To a friend he said T bought it be- cause l thought it was cheap"
 MT. James, whose fortune is among the largest in America, has long been prominent in financial, industrial philanthropic and social circles.
 His most important affiliation is with the Phelps-Dodge corporation, founded by his grandfather, Daniel James. more than q century ago, and engaged In mineral develop ment. Commodore James is a mem ber of the Seawanhaka- -Corinthian Yacht club and succeeded the late Cornelius Vanderbilt as commodore of the New York Yacht club in 1909-t91Q.
