Happy Ending of a COntro-
versy Affecting Abse-
con Residents.
New York I'd. New I'd.
Relief of the Oaks Section
Shown in Rising Property
Values-GOOd Work Ac-
cOmplished.

There was fair rejoicing in the
chambers of the Absecon Com
mon Council Wednesday evening
when Councilman A.. J. Kurtz an
nounced that the last unsigned
property owner of Wyoming ave-
nue. had finally signed the deed
dedicating a strip of land to the
city to facilitate the widening
and improvement of the street.
Condemnation proceedings are
unnecessary.
Coincident with this happy end
ing of the controversy, there was
a rise in value, on paper, if not
in actual sales, of property stu
ated in the Oaks. The Oaks is a
residential section of Absecon ly-
ing off the New York Road, whose
development was retarded be-
cause of the need of street i'm
provement and lighting, all of
which is now assured. There
will be a through wide county
thoroughfare from New York
Road via the Oaks and Wyoming
avenue, the ]. J. Cassidy White
Horse Village and New Road to
the White Horse Pike and south
ern points in New Jersey.
This most agreeable solution of
the problem of the Oaks, which
has confronted the Common Coun-
Gil of Absecon for sometime, has
been brought about by the work
of Freebooter Alfred J.. Roger.
He enlisted the aid of Director
Fraley Doughty. of the Board Of
Chosen Freeholders, and obtained
the cooperation of the county in
a street development for Absecon,
the beneficial result of which will
not be closed for generations to
come.
J. J. Cassidy had dedicated the
land required for the extension
of Wyoming avenue to connect
the Oaks with the White Horse
Pike to the City of Absecon and
in turn the city of Absecon re-
dedicated the land to the county
of Atlantic, passing a resolution
introduced by Councilman Kurtz
with this object in view. Mr..
Kurtz has given much time and
effort to obtaining the consent of
property owners and their dona-
tons of property to widen the
street and was happy with the
successful results.
The property owners who sign
ed the deed are: Robert Muskett,
Laura Muskett, John Skyta, Agnes
Skyta, Stefon Skyta, Rosa Skyta.
