Ii there is any suspended tagging interest in

in the last fortnight by the expert opinion expressed by
Benjamin r. Fox, developer of West Atlantic City

from 81 900 So 0O0 Mr. Fox stated that Shore Road

foot of the Boulevard, just around the corner.
Mr. Fox, whose wide experience in Atlantic City
building is well known, states that dozen modern, good
sized Stores well illuminated night will turn business
down the Boulevard towards West Atlantic City. He
points that several fine have already been
built nearby, and that the Ford and Sudebaker agencies
have already built substantial display places important

SITE FOR THE TERMINALS

The value of the land lying between the Main
land and Atlantic City underestmated today With
each contribution the discussion of site for the
railway terminals, arguments grow convincing thai
this land has great usefulness.
John r. Sracusa president Of the Atlantic City Real
Estate Board points that to locate the stations on
these lands would bring about improvements which
would increase the taxable value of Atlantic City at least
$35, 100000
This Mr. Sracusa calls attention to- would increase
the annual income from 100000 per year. to say
nothing of the improvement in bonding situations
Benjamin r. Fox has stated that UNLESS the Reading
and Pennsy Railroads select site convenient 10 the
center of Atlantic City Albany avenue) they will have
made rreparable mistake"
Acting Mayor Ruffu holds that Atlantic City is
growing rapidly and it only expand upon the
lands to the west
The opinion generally held is that it would be an
objectionable permit the Reading to locate its
station Arctic and block off Baltic avenue from
Arkansas to Missouri
Mr.. Sracusa is authority for the statement that the
hotel and beach front interests changing their views
and express belief that west of the thoroughfare is
the only proper place for the railway terminals
When they express this view, the beach front
interests taking into consideration the desire of the
get and from his tran and of the visitor
to the beach to get to and from the beach
Former Mayor Riddle would swing the traffic
nearer to the real center of the city by placing the rail
way terminals the Airport The Airport is Albany
Boulevard and readily accessible
In the of central location of the railway
terminals fair consideration must be given to the
growth that is taking place of Atlantic City, 1t is
fair that the day is far distant when the
of population of the Atlantic City Metropolitan
will westward the it today moving
southwark
The development of Benjamin r. Fox in West Allan
tic City, the growth of the cities of the Mainland and the
great plans under way to build more aand more homes
will be established beyond any question of doubt
that the railways take into consideration that
of population is longer future possibility, but
present reality.
These developments and widespread growths will

SHORE VALUES JUMP
Increased From $57, ooo, 900 In 1889
to $a9e. e4O.O 900 In June 1925.

Figures have been compiled
showing the assessed value of sea
shore real estate on New Jersey
coast has increased from $57 ,000,-
600 in 1889 to $398,840,00 in 1925.
These figures were produced by
Paul A. Vocher, city manager OF
Cape May in an address on coast
erosion. twenty-five hundred OF
these valuable acres were taken
from the owners by the inroads
made by the ocean.
Mr. Vocher points out that much
has also been done to wrest from
the ocean many acres that have
brought fortunes to those who own
riparian rights.
At Ocean Grove, and Point Pleas
ant there are many traces of for
mer tides more than a mile inland.
At Absecon, houses now stand
where it was low tide in 1850.
In Atlantic City the increae of
beach front has been especially
great. At Pennsylvania avenue
there has been 1000 feet increase
during quarter-oentury. And
since the building of the Govern
ment breakwater to save the light
house, in 1876, the entire beach has
extended to the north and east ur-
til at present there is more than
a half-mile increase along the
whole city. In 1858 Atlantic avenue
was the beach front street.
Those astute enough to read the
future in those days. and get
RIPARIAN rights, have reaped for
tunes. When few men approaches
the owners of property along Allan
tic City's beach front fifty years
or so ago, and wanted to buy, they
were received with smiles. Folks
thought they were fishermen who
wanted to build shacks at the
waters edge. And they got the
beach front for a song.
Cape May is constructing jetties
consisting of triple thickness OF
two-inch plank Tapped so as to
make it water tight. These sheet
piles are held in place by wales
and round piles, and the whole
structure is far more substantial
than any previous wooden struc-
ture that has been built in this
particular section.
There is also strong reason to
belive that their erection will have
the desired result of building Up
the beach. The work wos not begun
until late in the fall, and the
weather has been extremely I'M
favorable, so progress is slow,
None of the jetties are yet out to
their final completed length. Even
with the stubs of the jetties now
completed. sand has shown a ten
dency to gather between them.
