points in March. the drop occurring
chiefly in wheat, rye. sheep, lambs
and wool. The prices Of non-ae RI

war level.
Industrial business continued at a
high point into April. Automobile

MAYOR MATTSON
CALLS FOR CITY HALL
Needs of Absecon Outlined in Ad-

Needs of Absecon Outlined in Ad-
dress by the Mayor.
The many needs of the City of Alb
secon were outlined by Mayor Harry
Mattson, at the organization of the
Council Saturday, when the Mayor
spoke as follows:
Following established custom,
herewith transmit to your honorable
body my recommendations and sug-
gestions looking to the welfare of our
city during the coming year.
First, wish to take this opportuni-
ty to publicly commend the City Coun-
Gil for the work during the past year.
Some difficult situations have been
met and their problems solved in a
business-like and broad-minded spirit,
and the members have devoted much
time and serious thought to the city's
interests. The thanks of our citizens
are due them for their efficient servi-
CeS.
"Absecon has enjoyed great pros
perity during the past year, and there
is no doubt that the completion of the
New York road, paving of Absecon
boulevard. improvement of other roads
and opening of the Delaware River
bridge will add to this prosperity and
result in grealy increased population
and development in the immediate
future
This will bring to us new problems,
more important than any that have
confronted us in the past. Among
these will be traffic conditions, further
extension of street and sidewalk i'm
provements, lighting, drainage and
other matters which will require the
expenditure of considerable sums of
money. Therefore the utmost econo-
my will be necessary in all depart
ments in order that our people may
not be unduly burdened with taxes.
AT the same time the situation must
be met with courage and the admin
istration of the city's affairs must
keep pace with the growth, even
though the tax rate may be Temporal
rily increased.
THE most urgent necessity at the
present time is City Hall, and steps
should be taken at once to secure
suitable site so that such building
can be erected as soon as the city's
finances will permit the necessary
bonds to be issued. l recommend that
this matter be given immediate con-
sideration.
Many OLner matters Oh minor I'M
portance will present themselves from
time to time, but l feel that you will
ably meet these questions as they
come up and that further recommen-
dations at this time are unnecessary.
Extending my best wishes for the
coming year, trusting that our person
al and official relations may continue
to be as pleasant as in the past"
