Shore Road
Improvement
FreehOlderS Will Start Work
on Mainland Artery
June l Next.
Utilities Are Notified
First Movement in Import
ant Highway Work Con-
templated for Mainland
and Island.

Definite steps are being taken
by the Board of Freeholders pre-
liminary to paving the Shore road
between Pleasantville and Somers
Point. This is the first move in
the plans for paving important
roads leading to, or paralleling
Absecon Island.
The improvement of the high.
way between Mays Landing and
Somers Point is among the early
undertakings. So, also is Somers
Point-Longport boulevard. Anoth-
er big road project is the extern
sion of New road down the shore.
To make ready for improving
the Shore road, the Board of Free
holders have notified the public
utilities companies which use the
road to make on or before June l,
1927, all installations or changes
in their service lines contemplate
ed for the next five years. These
companies include the gas compa-
ny, water company and trolley
company. These companies must
make surveys of their possible eX-
tension work for five years to
come and do the work before next
June. Any work undertaken i'll
the five years following or after
the Shore road is improved will
be objected to and resisted by the
Board of Freeholders. The Allan
tic City Gas Company has been
making extensive improvements
in it's lines. Also the Water COM
pany. The Suburban Trolley Com
pany will be required to bring it's
tracks up to the grade of the
street.

Hope for
Dehlah Road
FreehOlders Are Studying
Question of Permanent
Improvement.
Benefit to the County
Connect West Washington
Avenue With the AbSecOn
Boulevard-CrOssing Over
Pennsylvania Tracks.

Members of the Board of Free
holders from Pleasantville and
Absecon are looking forward to
the improvement of Delilah road
in the North part Of Pleasantville.
Freebooter Roger, of Absecon,
believes that the road may be
made very useful cut off be-
tween Mainland points and Allan
tic City.
Freebooter Willis, of Pleasant
vile, is of the same opinion.
Freebooter Adams, of Pleasant
Vile, declares that Delilah road
should be improved between Abse-
con boulevard By widening and
filing, and that the improvement
should continue through to New
road and eventually to West
Washington ave, or the Harding
Highway. This road" said Mr..
Adams, would then be of benefit
to the people of the county in get
ting to and from Atlantic City
with the least amount of traffic
congestion. 1t would serve also
to help out on through travel
When the three Freeholders
Roger, Willis and Adams, put the
question of the improvement OF
Delilah road up to John Tomlin,
chairman of the road committee
of the board, the met with encour-
agement.
YES" said Mr. Tomlin, 1--WE
need that road to help us to take
care of this constantly increasing
volume of business. Absecon bou-
levard and Pleasantville boulevard
both today represent situations
which are becoming more compli-
Gated every day. What l would
like to see in Delilah road is a
crossing over the Pennsylvania
tracks. With an overhead cross
ing Delilah road would be about
right. !"

Township Will
Seek New Board
To Make Garbage Hauling
Political Issue Follow
ing Futile Protests
Take Matter to Polls

Protests, against the hauling OF
garbage from resorts into Atlantic
county having proved unavailing,
the matter will be a political issue
in Egg Harbor township this fall,
according to declarations OF sew
eral residents of that township.
Several residents and property
owners in the township filed pro-
test against the hauling Of gar
bage, which is dumped on farms
for fertilizer, with the health au
thorities.
Charles l. Lafferty, chairman Of
the democratic county committee,
and member of the State Board
of Health, was appealed to. In
vestigation showed that the health
board had granted two permits
for hauling garbage into its terri
tory, despite objections which
have been repeatedly made to Off
Gals the past two years.
Board of Health authorities de-
eide whether the garbage can or
cannot be hauled through the
township. Efforts to prevent the
carting of garbage from Cape May
county were started last year, but
proved futile.
Some years prior to that there
was agitation over similar prac-
tice. A stock farmer at that time
was using the garbage from the
surrounding territory as a food
for hogs in a big piggery main
tanned on the banks of stream
running through the township.
To add to the nuisance, it is
understood that garbage of Som
ers Point restaurants is being
carted up the road toward Mays
Landing, and dumped upon farms
in the vicinity of Scullville.

Committee Plans
Chamber Session
Will Make Arrangements for
Oct. Meeting of Com
merce Body.
Seeks Active Members
Businessmen to Make Meet
ings Live Wire Events
To Visit Merchants Seek
ing New Material.

A committee of II will formu-
late plans for the October meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce,
when efforts will be made to start
a series of fall and winter meet
ings which will be attended by
every prominent business man in
the city, it was decided last night
as the August session of the
Chamber was held in the Parish
Hall of st. Marks Church.
Because of the warm weather,
and to give the committee an op-
portunity to work, there will be
no September meeting of the
body. The real meetings i'll start
in the fall, when they will be live
wire sessions in every sense OF
the word.
Members of the committee, who
number among the prominent
business men of the community,
and have always been stauneh
supporters of the Chamber, will
endeavor to build enthusiasm for
the coming fall meetings through
visits to merchants in the city
who are not members or have not
been active in the meetings.
The problem of increasing the
membership of the Chamber and
arousing more enthusiasm that it
could do better work, was dis
cussed by Bertram E. Whitman,
former assemblyman; A. P. Ryon,
developer; Samuel J. Stoloff,
PROMINENT merchant; Walter W.
Whitman, postmaster and presi-
dent of the organization, and
number of other active members.
All agreed that the number at
tending present sessions of the
organization should be increased
until every merchant and bust
ness man in town was included.

Stopped
On W. Jersey Ave.
Railroad Places Posts and
Railing in Effort to
Clear Space.

In their efforts to break UP
parking on West Jersey avenue
where large numbers of machines
have been placed since the half,
and then hourly parking laws
have been enforced by the police,
wOrkmen employed by the Penn
sylvania railroad drove large
posts into the ground there yes
terday.
The posts do not cut the street
off, but make it practically impos-
sible for machines to park. They
are driven between the sidewalk
and the track leading into the
yard of the lumber company in
such a way that machine owners
endeavoring to park will have to
put their cars across the railroad
track
Signs have been placed along
the road by the police department
forbdding parking, but the police
never actively enforced the edict
which forbids leaving a machine
there.
The railroad owns both sides OF
the streets bordering it's tracks
1t can thus shut off parking as 1t
desires.
1t is reported that a number of
accidents have occurred at that
point, and, as the railroad owns
the property, it does not desire to
take chances through accidents
which happen on land which it
owns, fearing that it would be liza
BILE to suit.

County Accepts
Wyoming Ave:
Many Advantages Will Re-

of AbsecOn.

The Board of Freeholders has
accepted Wyoming avenue, in Abb
secon, as a county highway. This
final solution of a knotty problem
has been obtained through the
efforts of Freebooter Alfred j..

operation of other residents OF
the City of Absecon.
Wyoming avenue is the extern

New York pike. At the New York
pike end of the avenue is stu

been in need of street lights and
other city advantages. These are

The formal acceptance OF the
dedication took place at the meet
