The Westside alreadyN an

of Missouri Avenue and
Higbee Road because of the
convenience to the residents
and business enterprises in
using this artery of ingress
to the city, and in travelling
to the downtown section of
Absecon Island. 1t will be
especially hard on the
delivery systems of the COM
mercial enterprises located in

q can't but help thinking
that Atlantic City is making
a vital mistake for her future
growth by accepting the rail-
roads present plans.
Had Mayor Bader lived I
am confident terminal plans
would have taken such shape
that a meadow site would have
been selected.
IF one makes a close study,
it win be plainly seen that an
large cities have selected sites
for their terminals far re-
moved from the center Of the
city. This was the case ii
Washington, and is the pres
ent plan in Philadelphia

new structure.

NOT FAIR TO
MANY TAXPAYERS

Beautiful Venice Park, for
ears fighting against already
established unfavorable condi-
tons as regards access to the
city proper both by lack Of
streets and lack Of satisfacto-s
ny transportation, a commnnv
ity that has courageouSly for
ged ahead despite discourage
ing conditions is now to be
dealt a blow which may forev-
er curb future development Of
that delightful section and win
tend to greatly lower values
which have been rapidly ris-
ing during the past two Of
three years.
Just as the West Side IS
blocked off from proper IN
gress to the city through the
vacating of streets as called
for in the Reading ordinance,
so is Venice Park.
Is this fair to the energetic
citizens of that community
who have in the face of con-
tinued encouragement built
up a section of pretty homes,
a most inviting entrance to
the city along the Absecon
Boulevard?
Instead of curbing the
growth Of this section as win
be done if the ordinance Is
passed, and decision be made
to eventually secure location
of terminals on the meadows,
Venice Park would then com
time to forge ahead and sim
liar attractive communities
would be added to its boundar-
les, adding tremendous ann
cunts of ratables to the city

LACKS INFORMATION

In the interesting ordinance
presented, nothing is said of
the block of ground between
Atlantic, Arctic, Missouri and
Arkansas Aves., which was
to become an open plaza or
park. Does the railroad COM
pany expect to turn this
over to the city as a gift for
such purpose or does it expect
Atlantic City to purchase it?
If the latter, what is the
price, what added cost to the

Giants Agree to

By United Press Leased Wire


NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-When the
st. Louis Cardinals traded Rogers
Hornsby to the New York Giants
for frankie Frisch it was announced
that no cash was involved in the
deal.
But it appeared today after a
conference between Presidents Sam
Brcadon of the Cardinals and Char
les Stoneham of the Giants that
money would be paid by the latter,
with Hornsby the beneficiary.
Hornsby had disagreed with
Breadon relative to the sale of
stock owned by the second baseman.
The owner is unwilling to pay the
price per share asked by Hornsby
and the conference with Stoneham
was believed to concern this ticklish
situation.
According to report, the Giants
have agreed to pay the difference
between Hornsby's demand and
Breadon's quoted price, but neither
president would lend confirmation.
