The fish and game conservation
committee of the Atlantic City
Chamber of Commerce, headed by
H. Willard Shaner, recommends
that the Chamber take steps to
bring about an immediate abate-
ment to the present pollution of in
land waters in this vicinity; that
a survey of the territory of waters
of the state be made, and that a
marine biological laboratory be
established by the state for the
purpose of ascertaining the reasons
for the rapidly decreasing marine
fish population.
"That a nominal state license
fee be charged for the privilege OF
salt water fishing. if the sports
men can DE assured that funds de-
rived from such fees will be used
exclusively for the establishment of
the suggested state laboratory or

sioners in the interest of better
fishing and cunning.
"That the present state fish and
game commission be given ad-
ditional boat equipment and more
man power. particularly in respect
to fish and game wardens; that the
present fish and game laws be
more vigorously enforced; that a
sensible regulation of poundnet
fishing be enacted by state law,
and that a better understanding
between, the commercial fishing
industries and the sportsmen. with
the tolerant consideration of both
interests, be sought"
The committee also asks for
a permanent fishing bank off

Fire extinguishers certainly can
prove useless-if they are not the

Defends Home
Instalment Plan
Benjamin r. Fox Says 1t Has
Contributed Largely to
Home Construction
HAS PROVEN
ECONOMICALLY SOUND

Instalment payments, according
to Benjamin R.. Fox, who built up
the Inlet section and who is the
developer of West Atlantic City,
have contributed more than any
other factor in encouraging home
construction.
"The home development during
the last ten years has shown the
practicability of instal1ment pay
ments," he says. More than 80
per cent of the home sales are
transacted through the term-pay-
ment pan.
Criticism has been directed to-
ward certain types of such plans,
especially where the initial pay
ment is small and payments extend
over several years. My answer is
that home owners with whom |
come in contact assure me that
their holdings are marketable To-
day at higher price than their
total payments, even though the
majority have bought their homes
on the 1ong-term payment plan.
1.-THE instalment purchase of
homes is not a new plan and 1t
has proven economically sound.
The home buyer is purchasing a
place to live in and is not seeking
an Investment for profits, except
to assure himself that he is receiy-
ing full value for his payments.
Records show that the installment
buyer of a home rarely fails to
complete his payment, contrasting
wildly to other types of small in
vestors in real estate, whose non-
completion of payments is one OF
the big losses to be faced, especial
ly in boom markets"
