THE LOWER BEACH WEEKLY
THAT REACHES THE HOMES
(Atlantic Cftr. N. J« P- a)
VENTNOR CITY. N. J. OCTOBER 16, 1920
Rejection .of Financing Building
of Bridge.
When the voters go to the polls on
Tuesday, November 2nd, -they will
' have an opportunity to vote fbr or
against two very important matters
of legislation, and thus decide whether i
the same shall be adopted or rejected.1
These two acts are at the end, of;
your official ballot, and it is important j
that you should cast your ballot for!
them as well as for the various candi
dates. !
The first is an act for the payment |
of a bonus to each soldier- or a de
pendent or dependents thereof* who
served in the naval or military forces:
daring the world war. -
It is hoped that the people of Vent- j
nor will go on record as favoring the
recognition of the ex-service men, as
the State of New Jersey should be
included in thgse states that believe
in giving full credit to the boys who
did the work for us over there as well
as here. * Many states have already
adopted a. similar resolution, and the
people of .this state should'give this,
act a large majority in the affirms*'
tive.
The o$her act, which should have a
large-majority of affirmative votes is
the act authorizing the building of
the Delaware River Bridge and the
completion of the North Jersey Tun
nel. .
At a recent Board of Trade Meeting
the Board went on wnrrt favoring
the erection of the Bridge, and doing
. all in their power to help see the com
pletion of the same.
Vice-President Joseph Paist started
the ball a rolling when he said we
have been waiting more than fifty
years for an up to date manner of
crossing the Delaware at Camden, and
It was time something was really be
ing done.
You, your family and friends have
suffered at times through years of
ferry delays, jams, fogs and personal
discomforts owing to the jams at the
ferries, and every good citizen should
vote “yes” for the advancement and
keeping of the State of New Jersey to
the front.
The Delaware Bridge will save an
enormous amount of time, money and
inconvenience, and your sense of loy
alty and pride in your State and home
"" should alone determine that you
would vote “YES" to this act, and
thus help you and the other fellow to
get home more quickly. The improve
ment will be a mutual one afid one
that will give lasting benefits to one!
and all of us for many years to come.!

SALE TWO WEEKS
Validity,, of Purchase* Made. On Holi
day Might Have Caused Trouble
v In Future. *
Postponement of the sale of lands
{for unpaid taxes was announced on
Monday by Tax Collector James G.
Scull. The sale had been advertised
for October 12, which proved to be a
legal holiday and the question arose
as to the validity of any purchase
that might be made. The sale, which
was scheduled to be held at 2 o’clock
p. m., will be held on Tuesday, Octo
ber 26, at the same hour, at City Hall.
With an assessed valuation of over
$8,000,000, the small amount of un
paid taxes is considered remarkable
for the city. The total amount for
the city is $5,820.38, the figures for
the First ward being $3,433.35, and
the Second ward, $2,387.03, showing an
excess in the First over the Second
of $1,046.32.
The sale will involve '86 parcels of
land, divided among 39 owners, of
which 23 are in the First ward and 63
in thq Second ward. The Ocean-front
Land Co., with 16 properties and un
paid taxes amounting to $3,202.17, is
the chief debtor on the list.
This amount is the lowest in the
history of the city. Several hundred
properties were advertised for sale
ahnually in former years, but during
the past three years, the list of de
linquents has been diminishing rapid
ly.
Investors in nronertieH here nnw ««
mostly , home seekers, who occupy
their home for at least a portion of
the year, and they are inclined to
keep them clear of all city liens.
