PERSISTENCY.
One cannot help but admire the per
sistency of some of the members of
of the councilmanic body in trying to
get through measures that they feel
are needed by the city. Although the
ordinance to buy the bathing beach
in the lower end of the city (an ordi
nance if it was carried out would give
property owners in that section noth
ing more than the same identical ad
vantages enjoyed by property owners
in other sections or the city) had been
killed at a previous meeting of the
councilmen, another similar ordinance
was introduced at the meeting held
Monday evening, and passed first
reading with only one dissenting vote.
This measure is a good one and
should be passed now and not left to
die a natural death with the ending of
the fiscal year. If there are any good
reasons why it should not be passed
now, the public should be told of
them, so that they at least know that
the councilmen are not trying to keep
the owners from enjoying the same
privileges enjoyed in other sections
of the city. Lower Ventnor has en
joyed the building spurt that has been
going on in all parts of the city, and
more homes have been built in that
section than in any other part of
Ventnor, simply because there was
where tke vacant lots were to he
found by prospective purchasers.
These homes are going to greatly in
crease the bathing in that part of the
city and they should have a place to
bathe the same as other seotions.
Kefep the ordinance going and pass
the legislation before the end of the
year 1921.
OH, WHAT STREETS 1
This is an expression'that is fre
quently heard made by automobUists
who have to traverse some of the
streets of our city, and it is no won
der as some of them are a mess at
spots almost from curb to cnrb. Dur
tog the summer months Innumerable
pleas were made that the streets
should be given a light coat of gravel
while the travel was sufficient to pack
it down before bad weather came
along. Some few of them were grav
eled after the summer season wat
practically over, and they today are
like worst streets in the city, as the)
are soft and the heavy rains of the
past few weeks and the travel have
kept them well stirred up. ■ We be
lieve that it is not too late to correct
some of these conditions even at this
late date, as they appear low in the
centre and the water instead of drain
ing off just lies there, but it is more
of a task now than it would have
been earlier. Conditions all over the
city streets could be greatly improved
if council would have more brick gut
ters laid and carry out the plan that
was supposed to be carried out man)
years ago when gutters were placed
along many of the streets. It costs
the city nothing and property owners
have willingly paid their assessment
as they saw the value of the improve
ment. The streets with the brick
gutters are in far better condition
titan those without.
THE NEW "SCOUTMASTER.
We are glad that one of our police
officers has seen fit to volunteer his
services as scoutmaster of our local
troop of Boy Scouts. He deserves the
thanks of every citizen who is inter
ested in the boys of our city, and we
feel that that means every citizen.
Again the progressiveners of the
Mayor is shown by his interest and
encouragement in the movement, by
making arrangements so that Officer
Spurrier could do the important work,
in which he is much interested. Un
der his tutorship the boy scouts
should continue to be an important
factor in every.movement of the city.
