Bay sejoi.wurs at Asbury Park for the

etAltling thorn to bo spoken of as crowds.

All day and while these were no congest
ed places, there were at least no bar*
spot* along the two miles of promenade
from Eighth avenue into Ocean Grove.
What an known a• Gw strictly summer

addition to the many all-year ho6telri*s,
did a sasprisingly large buuinees.
Gctumoa Council has been holding sev
eral disocations on questions appertain
ing to fh» annual budget. It is evident
that the budget must be slightly increas
ed ovar that of last year, but the addi
tional amounts will be fully covered by
increased aiteets. Three or four of the
main item* have been agreed upou. but
those is atill much discussion of the ap
propriations, and they will not be pro
seated ta be acted upon until a week
from to-night.
The aaraexation prebletn is still corner
ing Aaauzj Parkers. The committee ap
poimed specially to consider the matter
kae sent an open letter to the citizens of
the resort. Annexation ie spoken of as a
"menace to the city” and styles itself as
a temporary organization formed for the
purpose of setting before the voters of
Aebury Park the status of the situation
Hid to labor to defeat a measure which,
If it succeeds, will work great injury to
the city.
It is beeause of the belief that a senti
ment is arising from arguments of inter
ested people, it ie raid, has already been
treated that the work of this committee
has been undertaken. The belief is con
fidently bold that when the situation is
kid bare-the majority of the citizens will
act in accordance with what the commit
tee deem athe best interests of the dty
and defeat the measure. It is argued that
a greater As bury Park is not called for
by any demand of territorial expansion,
being stated that there are "within the
present city limits 350 full-sized vacant
lots.
