SILENCING THE
TROLLEY

Several decades have
passed since the trolley car
first made its bow to the
civilized world. As a dis
turber of the peace on the
public highways it would be
difficult 10 find its equal.
The clang-clang of a dis
cordant and seemingly never
satisfied bell, the shrek OF
complaining rails, the bang
bang Of flat wheels, the
sputtering and kissing OF
temperamental trolley wires
all have contributed with
out stint to make suburban
areas and rural districts sing
the night songs of a metro

news that automotive engln-

An example of the result
of this movement was liberat-

Springfield, Mass. 1t is said
of il that the passengers could
hear little sound save the
purr of the motors. The out

ACROSS sARNEeAT BAY.
Effort to Obtain State Aid to Re
build Bridge.

Now that the bridge across the
Barnegat Bay, between Toms River
and Seaside Heights has been OPP
ened after being rebuilt, the Long
Beach resorts are planning to ask
the State to rebuild the span across
Barnegat Bay to replace the pres
ent wooden structure between Man
ahawkin and the island. The bridge
was built several years ago for
horse and wagon and light motor
traffic and is inadequate for the
rapidly growing needs of eighteen
miles OF ocean front resorts from
Beach Haven to Barnegat City,
Because OF the numerous islands
in the bay at this point. the cost
OF new bridge, it is claimed, will
be considerably less than the Sea-
side span. Many resort officials
advocate the creation Of additional
small islands held with concrete
bulkheads, connecting these with
concrete spans as a more perma-
nent construction.
The Manahawkin bridge has been
compelled to carry much addition
al traffic in the form of heavy
trucks loaded with gravel and bull
ding materials to beach develop
ments this spring. and State off
Gals have had to keep it under
continual repair. The span is at
present the only motor traffic con-
nection between Long Beach re,
sorts and the mainland.

MOTHER AND SON
tFrom Detroit Free Press)


Charles Lindbergh would be the
first to acknowledge the debt he
owes his mother who, while watch
ing over him with anxious care,
has been careful never to hamper
nor discourage him, and never to
hold him back from any bold and
brave enterprise; and always found
strength to encourage and support
and hearten him, no matter how
secret anxiety for his safety may
have haunted her. Nobody with
such a mother could possibly be a
molly-coddle or faint heart or
could fail to live up to the best in
him; and on the other hand, it is
not possible to believe that such
mother could have a son except
such son as Charles Lindbergh.
The relationship between the he
70 of the great Atlantic fight and
his mother is an example and an
inspiration for other mothers and
sons.

reside in areas otherwise so
quiet that the noise of the
oncoming "once-an-hour''
trolley car sounds like the
approach of a circus parade
will welcome gratefully
the advent of car that will
glide over the rails so silent
ly, so regularly and so stead
lily, that the peep of the
crickets and the song Of the
frogs may suffer not even a
temporary interruption.

TO SAVE eARNEeaT LIGHT
Another Appropriation of $4,000
Secured by Senator Matthias


Another Appropriation of $4,000
Secured by Senator Matthias
Twenty-Five thousand dollars more
is to be spent saving Barmegat
light house from the sea, Senator
Matthias having secured an appro-
priation from the board of conser-
vation and development for that
purpose
The strongest argument for the
further spending of money to save
the historic beacon is that the jet
ties that have been built by the
state up to this time have had the
effect to build up the beach which
at one time was washed away al
| most to the foundation of the light
house itself
The only jetties that were of no
avail were made of stone and
placed in front OF the light house
by the federal government. These
huge stones soon sank in the sand
and the government gave up the
job as hopeless but since then,
through the work of former United
States Senator Frelinghuysen, VIII
liam H. Fischer of Toms River
and State Senator Matthias the
light house has not been Left to
the mercy of the sea currents.
1t is the first light house seen by
the returning traveller on the south
ern course from Europe and, OF
course, the last object the traveller
sees Of his own land as he sails for
foreign shores.
Not so many years ago the light
house at Atlantic City was in SINH
lar danger the seas tapping it's base
and often there was water so deep

quent inquiry why it was placed
that far inland. AS matter of
fact the light house was within so
yards of the surf when it was built.

SHADE TREES
ALONG THE SHORE
Cape May City Seems to Have
Solved the Problem

Ocean City is discussing the sub
ject of more shade trees. 1t has
not been easy to get a good growth
Of trees along the shore, although
the exception to this rule in the
counties fronting on the
ocean has been Cape May City, but
this was largely due to the fact
that Cape May City has heavy
soil instead of sand and in this re-
spect is like the northern part of
the state along the ocean, where
trees grow close TO the water.
An exception to this is at Sea.
side Park, where trees do not
thrive. Just why this is has been
a subject OF dispute, but many per-
sons are of the opinion it is due
to the fact that the ocean and the
Barhegat Bay are SO close to each
other that the soil is saturated with
salt water and the roots Of the
trees do not thrive under these
conditions.
In nearly all the southern coast
resorts the soil is sand and wet
with salt water few feet below
the surface, but in spite of that
trees grow in Ocean City; al
though, of course, do not thrive so
we'll as farthar inland.
