Unite Margate
And Ventnor
Mayor Adams of Ventnor Pre-
diets Union of Two
Fine Cities
COOPERATION BETWEEN
TWO is SPLENDID

The consolidation of Ventnor and
Margate into one city is within
the range of possibilities.
The prediction that such a con
solidation will take place is made
by Carleton E. Adams, Mayor OF
Ventnor. Mayor Adams gave ex
preston to thiA idea at a testimon.
ial dinner giyenN in hondr of Mayor
John w. Risley,|of Mafgate, under
the auspices of the regular repub-
liean organizatiln of the latter
city last night
He warned against the proposed
annexation of ventnor by Atlantic
City, and emphasized the impor
lance of the two sister residential
cities" uniting before "Ventnor is
taken in by Atlantic City,
The Mayor called attention tc
the splendid spirit of cooperation
existing among the governing
organizations of the. two cities
He said that both communities had
many things in common, principally
lower taxes, and cited united plans
of the two municipalities for a
modern sewage system.
Mayor Adams asserted that the
consolidation of the two cities
should be accomplished within a
few years in order to economically
work out the problem facing the
cities to the best interests of the
taxpayers.
I'VE are selling Margate as a
high class residential city, said
Mayor Risley, who reviewed some
of the accomplishments of lis first
administration and made plea
for constructive cooperation dur
ing his second term. y
Never Took Salary.f
Four years ago, the Maydh said
when he assumed the Office, Mar
gate was a $3,000,000 corppration
with $50 stockholders, and today
it is a .$14,O00,0O0 corporation with
5000 stockholders. He stated that
it was the policy of the admins
tration to give the taxpayers the
most for the least money and keel
the taxes low. He said that it was
hoped to reduce the tax rate foul
points this year, but the unexpect
ed increase in state and county
rates made this impossible.
Mayor Adams, during his adj
dress. made it known that Jack
Risley had never received any
salary during his term in office
having turned each months CHECK
over to charity.

Record Progress Has Been Made By Great Dredge
INTEREST IN WEST
ATLANTIC CITY.

While the public has for some
time been taking keen interest
in the undertakings of Benjamin
r. Fox in building up West At
lantic City, never has this inter-
est been greater than it is today.
Many demonstrations of this
public interest appear in the at
titude of the buying public alN
in the activities of home build
ers.
A most optimistic outlook is
taken by statesmen. Substantial
encouragement is extended by
buyers and prospects and there
is every indication that this will
increase in volume with the COM
pletien of the new Albany Ave
nue. Boulevard Bridge which is
being built on the Atlantic City
side of the Fox development at
a cost Of several hundred thous-
and dollars.
Rapid progress is being made
in the construction of new
homes in West Atlantic City for
prominent residents of Atlantic
City and Philadelphia.

SAME AMOUNT
ISSOUGHT FOR
ALL 4 FAIRS
Funds Given Mandan, MinOt
Fairs Should BE Same as
For Fargo, Grand Forks

Sectional differences were aired in
the house appropriations committee
today when members Of the committee
from Northwestern and Southwestern
North Dakota demanded that the
Minot and Mandan state fairs be CIV
en- appropriations equal with those
ut Grand Forks and Fargo.
The discussion started when a
house bill that would repeal the
standing appropriation for the Minot
fair was brought up. Northwestern
representatives argued in favor Of
allowing the appropriation to stand.
The prestige attaching to the title
Of estate Fair" is valuable to the
Minot fair, members declared and op-
posed the repeal bill because II would
take this prestige away.
Mandan Fair Valuable
A representative from Southwestern
Dakota then demanded recognition
for the fair at Mandan and asserted
that it was just as valuable to the
people of his section as are the fairs
| ut Grand Forks or Fargo.
Rep. John F.. McGauvran, Cavalier
county, brought up the matter of
having only one state fair and sug-
gcsted that Minot might be a good
place for it. He discussed this as a
feature measure however, and asked
no immediate action.
Eastern members of the committee
declared they felt the state fair, il
only one is held, should be where a
sufficient population would be near
at hand to make it pay. "People
won't travel 500 miles to a fair" they
declared.
The majority Of the committee
members, however, declared that four
regional fairs were much more val
liable to the people Of the state than
one would be.
The appropriation bill for fail
maintenance as it now stands carries
| $4,000 each for Fargo and Grand
Forks and $4,000 for Mandan for the
biennium. The Minot fair would be
given its $1,000 appropriation by
amendment Of the maintenance bill.

WEEKEND VISIT
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-02-26

Oil Company or New Jersey. Houston
scared to new high at LOG; Barnsdall
B touched new top at 31%, and Texas
and Pacific Land Trust (new) moved
up over points on a heavy turnover
A recent analysis of that company
shows approximately one acre of land
held for each new share outstanding,
with 1926 estimated earnings showing
a huge increase over those of the year
before. Stqels failed to make much re-
sponse to reports of stiffening pig
iron prices in the Cleveland district,
although Crucible touched a new top
at S71R and then lost its gain, and U. s.
Steel common closed fractionally
higher at 161.
New peak prices in the Industrial
section also were established by Mon
tana Power, Adams Express, ALL
America Cables, Dupont, Westinghouse
Airbrake, Air Reduction, Collins and
Aikman, and U. S. Industrial Alcohol
Strength of the local fractions was
based on expectations of the defeat by
the state assembly of bill to raise
the city's debt limit in order to pro-
vide for municipal operation of new
Subways. International combustion
was one of the favorite pool special
ties, running up over points to 59R
on total transactions of we'll over 1OO,-
900 shares.
Renewed strength of General Motors
was believed to be based on buying
influenced by the report that Chevrolet
production in February had exceeded
that of Ford for the first time. Nash,
Chrysler and few other motors re-
corded less moderate gains. Rubber
stocks also received better support
Foreign exchanges were firm. De-
mand sterling was quoted around $4.S4
and French francs around 3.91 cents.
