i'S Keeping Lots Clean Should Be

- -S -Enforced.
MIn a communication addresqsd to
wt
the editor personally. Mr. L. M. Vetter
states that he has deemed it a pleas
. ure and a privilege to dwell in vent
.hor City, and realizes that the city
has many .great advantages, but be
lieves the city could be made far more
attractive if property owners would
care for the same.
An Ordinance in this line was pass
ed this year and if it were enforced
■ 'would go a great way toward adjust
ing the shortages that are spoken of in
Mr. Yetler’s communication. The fol
lowing is the letter:
5125 Winchester Avenue,
i Ventnor, N. J., June 8, 1921.
Frank Peters, Editor Ventnor News,
iij 25 'South Victoria Avenue,
*, Ventnor, N. J. .
: Dear Sir:
• . Sfnce it has been my privilege and
pf'*. pleasure to reside in the City of Vent
: nor, < have had an opportunity to rea*
lize the many great advantages this
| city has to offer, especially to those
who seek health dnd rest.
.ir'. The city could be made more beau
tiful and attractive if some appeal
could be'made to the property owners
J* to cut the grass and .weeds and keep
_ the places clean and tidy. All vacant
lots should be leveled to. grade and
kept elean. This would eliminate any
breeding -grounds for mosquitoes and
^ri^ '/Jd greatly to the beauty of the city.
>” The planting of trees and shrubbery
should be encouraged.
If the above recommendations were
• carried out for a few years, it would
have a tendency to increas'e the value
i , of the property and add greatly to the
beauty of the city.'—
It occurred to me that an appeal
might he made through the medium of
ycur- paper, as it undoubtedly reaches
everyone who might be interested.
When the property owners fully rea
lize that they are tvorking to their
own interests and that it is a pleas
ure and privilege to live in the city
of Ventnor, it will be little or no,
trouble in getting each and everyone
to do'their part. _
Yours very sincerely,
L: N. YETTER.
Mr. George Berg, well known local
carpenter, left yesterday for an indefi

CITIZENS SHOULD
■ CONSERVE WATER
New Artesian Wjell Now Being Drilled
Will Help Supply the Needs
5 of Everybody.
During the past week, through the
courtesy of the police department, the
annual practise of the distribution of
cards showing the hours that water
can be used for sprinkling purposes,
: have been delivered to every house in
the city.
The practice of using water for this
purpose at all hours became such a
habit that it became necessary for the
city to pass regulations of this kind
several years ago, so that there would
be an ample reserve force on hand at
all times in case nefcessity arose, and
householders have been asked to com
ply with the law,*and inrorder that the
summer tenants may know the^e reg
ulations, it has been the habit to dis
tribute the cards early in June.
During the past year many new
houses have been erected in the city,
and these will greatly increase the de
mand on the water department, and
although it is able to care for ail with
an ample supply gt all times, it is the
part of wisdom of every person to
conserve water, in every way possible.
It is reported that' some property
owners became somewhat peeved
when they were handed the cards,
and openly insulted the officers, who
were only doing their duty when they
made the delivery, and announced
that they would not obey, the statute.
It is expected that orders will be giv
en to Mhe police department to see
that the law is strictly obeyed by ev
erybody, as the hours allowed by Hie
city edict are sufficient to care for
any lawn. i , .
Members of council have had discus
sions similar to this before and at
those times were seriously thinking of
placing water meters in every home,
which would not only be an expense
to the city, but more so to the indi
vidual property owners themselves.

Scouts Go To Steeplechase.—Big. Pic
nic At Lily Lake Last
Saturday.
Instead of the regular Friday night
meeting (which was held on Thurs
day) Scouts of Troop 17, with other
Scouts from Atlantic City, enjoyed
themselves to their hearts’ content on
the Steeplechase Pier. Our Scouts,
about 20 in number, who went, wish
to, thank the manager for the free use
of the pier. This was one of the
eyents the Scoots had been looking for'
and they sure appreciated it.
Thursday night the summer camp
was discussed. There are going to be
two camps, that is. if the Scouts want'
it, and the majority do. To vote on
this, Scout Headquarters sent out
questionnaires. They were filled out,
but the results have not yet been pub
lished. The two camps are Camp Fit
zimmons at Longport (formerly Camp
Absegami), and the othetra name has
not been agreed upon, but the Scouts
are voting upon it. is at Green Mount,
Pa., near Valley Forge.

TAX BILLS ARE/
TO BE MAILED
Tax Collector Scull Report* That
They Will Be All Sent Out
This Week.
. There has been a general rush dur
ing the past few weeks at the office of
Tax Collector James G. Scull, getting
the many tax bills to property owners
of the city ready to be placed in the
mails. If nothing goes amiss they
will be placed in the mail either today
or tomorrow.
Owing to the late hour that t»e local
tax rate was received City Council ex
tended the date for the payment of the
first half to the thirtieth of June, and
if the whole amount of tax is paid by
that time a discount of two percent
will be allowed on the second half.
All appeals against the assessment
of the properties must be made by
■written petition and in duplicate on or
before the'15th of June. All appeals
must be verified by oath by the one
making the appeal and one copy serv
ed on the Secretary -of the Atlantic
County Board of Taxation and the
other on the City Clerk.
Property owners who do not receive
their tax bills in a short time, espec
ially those, who have recently acquir
ed property in the city, should notify
the tax collector, as owing to the many
recent transfers of property in the
city, the property may not be assess
ed in the name of the new owner, but
the non-receipt of tax bills is no ex
cuse for the payment of your taxes.
It is expected that many owners
will pay their tax bills just as soon as
they receive them, not waiting for the
final day, as they realize that there is
always a rush then, and endeavor to
avoid this.
