The residents of Absecon are
hoping that the Atlantic City
Commissioners will prohibit pas

south side of Atlantic ave. The
Commissioners have passed an
ordinance on the first and second

Atlantic ave. with passengers
For two reasons this would be OF
a disadvantage. First, passengers
have free shelter from storms
second, 999 of the commuters
cross Atlantic ave., either to shop

COUzENS HELPS
ANNUITY BILL

Senator Couzens. chairman OF the
Senate Civil Service Committee, to-
day conferred with Senator Stanfield
on the prospect OF pushing through
retirement legislation before Con-
gress adjourns.
Opponents Of the legislation have
redoubled their efforts to block the
bill since the report of the actuarles
revealed that the annual costs OF
annuities would be more than twice
those involved in the present act.
The opposition in the Senate, how
ever, has not made much Roadway,
although it apparently is in control
of the House leaders.
The actuarial report is interpreted
by both the friends and enemies OF
the Stanfield-Lehlbach bill as being
in their favor. 1t is admitted that
the ultimate expense to the Fedora!
Government involved in the new
measure will be heavy, although no

a balance of $44 900 900.
