Ocean View

The Indian River Inlet was open
ed Saturday to a depth of several
feet. 1t is being viewed by many
people. The recent wind storm, to-
gether with the assistance of sew
eral men, was the cause of the open
ing of the inlet. This will bring
about a supply of fish and crabs in
a healthier state, we hope. Vessels
came into this inlet a number OF
years ago from New Jersey and New
York. They would buy corn and
other produce and sail back to home
ports. Auto trucks have taken
their place. 1t seems like a steady
stream of trucks that go by certain
days bringing produce and hauling
eggs and other commodities to the
cities.
The Town Council met in Hick-
mans Garage on Saturday night for
the purpose of electing officers
whose terms had expired.
There are some rough places and
holes in the road through town that
might be improved by filling them
with gravel and sand. A good road
from the postoffice down to Cedar
Neck bridge would be appreciated,
and add to the comfort of autoists
and appearance of the town.
We are grateful for the Eastern
Shore electric lights through town
in the suburbs will be provided
with the electric lights at an early
date.
