and more machines go through
the city, it is necessary to enforce
the parking act, police declare.
The enforcement will hit num-

their machines on Main street the
entire day, while they are in their
offices. 1t will also force a num-
Der of those who drive here for an
evenings entertainment to park
their cars on some other street,
where the ordinance is not effect
i've.
Police win also tag those who
park on the wrong side of Main
street or Washington avenue in
the future, they have declared.
The ordinance which limits park
ing also calls for no parking Of

the streets.
Starting Monday morning, po-
licemen who go on duty will start
the process of serving nice batch
of bright tags to the parkers.

Thieves Enter
Point Houses
Believed to Be Group Who
Broke Into Homes
in This City.
Police OF Mainland Alert

Police of five Shore road COM
munities are searching for a man
or group of men who are believed
responsible for a series of rob-
berries which have been commit
ted along the Mainland section
the past two weeks. The list of
places entered was increased by
three yesterday, when it was
learned that houses in Somers
Point had been entered.
Many places have been broken
into, and their owners have not
reported the robbery to the po-
lice, it is believed. The thieves
operate in the same way at each
house They force open a win
dow and search for cash only, re-
fusing to take other articles of
value. They always operate at
night.
The latest breaks were made
in Somers Point late Wednesday
night, when the home of Mrs.
Sadie Wood, First street and New
Jersey avenue; Mrs. Mary Shade,
Main street, and a Mrs. Piercey,
also on Main street, were entered.
Eighteen dollars and ten cents,
which was in a pocketbook on a
table at the Wood home, was TAX
en-. Other articles of value about
the room were not bothered.
Entrance was made by means
of a window in the first floor,
which had no screen. Drawers
were searched, but nothing but
money was taken.
At the Shade home $1,000 was
taken. At the home of Mrs. Pier
cey the amount of money taken
was not reported.
Because they operate in the
same manner, it is believed that
the robber or robbers are the
same who broke into houses in
this city recently. Three breaks
were reported by local police.wh
are seeking the men responsible
for the entrances.

Grade Highway
AbsecOn COuncilmen Pass
Ordinance for Wyoming
Ave. Improvement
County to Take Street

An ordinance for the grading
of Wyoming avenue, a link be-
tween the New road and the New
York road, which route is known
as the Ocean Highway, was pass
ed on final reading last night,
when the Absecon Clay Council
had an adjourned meeting.
A public hearing on the ordi.
nance was first held, when own
ers were given a chance to pro
test. Although a number will
have their property but little
above the grade, all property own
ers along the route have agreed
that they favor the ordinance as
it is passed.
The Board of Freeholders will
accept the highway at it's next
meeting, according to Councilmen
who attended the meeting We'd
nesday. The Board will adver-
tise for bids for grading the high
way.
A motion was made to have
the City Solicitor notify Albert
c. Wescott of the damage done
to the public wharf at Faunce
Landing when his dredge dug 4
feet under the wharf to make it
possible for the lighters carrying
gravel to Brigantine to be loaded
from the loading platform built
there. The dredging caused the
entire structure to fall in the
creek, making it very dangerous
for the public The city wishes
to have the matter adjusted at
once, as it gave no permission
for this work, and the wharf is
in such condition that in case of
accident it would put the city to
expense.
The Street committee will in
spect Faunce Landing Road in
regard to a grade. If the stakes
are missing, it will have Engin-
eer Risley give new grade.
A resolution was passed to ac-
cept blue prints presented by the
Sun Oil Company to place a bulk
head on Absecon creek.
Councilman Kurtz brought the
matter of placing danger reflect
ore at the dead end of Natalie
terrace and e. Church street.
Also at Faunce Landing wharf.
Motion was made for the street
committee to look into this pub
lie protection.
Councilman Morris stated that
number of property owners had
suggested a monthly collection of
trash. This question of trash and
garbage collections was referred
to the sanitary committee, Morris,
Reilly and Townsend. They will
report at the next meeting.
The property committee, Nor
ris, Hoagland and Kurtz, will look
into the matter of campers at the
swimming pool and report at the
next meeting.
Resolution was read and accep-
ted that Mayor Harry Mattson
have the authority to appoint po-
licemen, life guards and inspec-
tors, and all appointments made
by Mayor prior to this passage
be confirmed by Council.
An ordinance was presented to
vacate streets on two maps Of the
Absecon Estates, filed at Mays
Landing, so the title company can
accept new map of 900 lots
which has since been filed.
The next meeting Of Council
will be held Wednesday, July a..
