"Entered as seeond-elas* matter July 27. 1907, at the Poet Office at Atlantic City, New /creep, under the not of Congress of March 2. 1879.” FRIDAY. JANUARY 7, 1921 , STRONG MESSAGE. V --The new Mayor Is stating out along i the lines of an editorial published by us last week for a greater and better Ventnor City, as the message he deliv ered upon taking his seat on New Year’s Day, was one of the strongest measures that was ever presented in this city. The Mayor by his explicit suggestions shows that he has been in close touch with the affairs of the city and has made a careful study of the various departments. The suggestions advocated are good and to the point, yet an early action is not expected by his honor on many of the subjects, as he rightfully states they are measures that will require careful study on the , part of all of the city officials. In ad vocating these measures the Mayor shows that he stands for a greater and better Ventnor City and will do all in his power to bring it about. CONGRATULATIONS. The city is to be congratulated on one of the very first steps of the new Mayor, that of the appointment of Harry Frings as Chief of Police. Mr. Fringe has acted in this capacity for some time and deserved the honor of being appointed to the position. The police department today deserves the praise of every resident, as during this terrific crime wave throughout the country, it has been conspicuous by its absence in this city. The patrolmen are on their job every minute and it would not be healthy for the light fingered gentry to select this as a * working place. ASK FOR JURY TRIAL. The landlord and tenant case of William a. Dunn against William A. Marron, which was to have been heard by Magistrate Hand at City Hall on Wednesday has been postponed again. Attorney Rauffenbart, for Mr. Marron, has asked for a jury trial. Judge Hand has set. the case down for Jan uary 25, and has directed Constable LeRoy Risley to empanel a jury to be on hand at that time.
