| Protest Against
Chicken Nuisance
George Reinbold, of 20 South
Adams Avenue, owner of con
siderable property in Margate
City, objects to chickens running
at large. On Monday he register
ed formal protest against the
alleged nuisance and charged that
!the feathered fowl which annoyed
I him and tenants of his houses
[most are owned by the chief of
j police. In a lengthy letter ad
dressed to the City Commissioners
Mr. Reinbold recited numerous in
stances of inconvenience caused
by chickens and asked for relief.
His letter was referred to Mayor
Norcross.
Additional ponce protection was
requested by the Women’s Repub
lican Club of Margate. In a for
mal communication the Commis
sioners were asked to consider the
matter of increasing the force, or
as an alternative provide the
present lone policeman with a
motorcycle so that he could better
traverse the city. It was pointed
out that despite the growth of the
city Margate had twice as large
a police force ten years ago than
now. At that time the city did
have two officers on duty. Wil
liam "Devereaux is now the sole
custodian of the peace and secur
ity of the city. He is only on
duty at night- The matter was
referred to Mayor Norcross, al
though it was generally agreed
that, until the next budget is made
up there will not be sufficient ap
propriation to hire additional men
or buy a motorcycle.
City Clerk Gertzen was directed
to communicate with the West
Jersey & Seashore Railroad Com
pany regarding the removal of the
Savannah Avenue freight station
which had been ordered by the
Commissioners several months
ago. The structure encroaches
upon the sidewalk. Failure of the
railroad company to heed the re
quest may lead to ejectment pro
ceedings.
Similar action was ordered in
the matter of a street crossing at
Frontenac , Avenue, failure of
prompt action probably causing
the Commissioners to place the
matter before the State Utilities
Commission.
SLIGHT BLAZE

, so quickly that a chemical stream
extinguished the blaze before the
damage had amounted to more
than $50. The house is owned by j
William Nugent, who is at pre
sent in Boston. The loss is cover
ed by insurance

Would Widen
Business Street
Property Owners on Little Rock
Avenue May Add Three Feet
to Highway
—
Widening of Little- Rock Ave
nue, between Ventnor and At
lantic Avenue, by adding three
feet to the driveway, .is being
urged by several owners of store
properties on that street, the
proposition having gone as far as
interviewing owners of property
on Victoria Avenue as to their
attitude , touching the sale or
deeding of the reauired land to
make the widening possible.
Little Rock Avenue is conced
ed to be the business center of
the <ity and has long been con
sidered the most traveled cross
avenue in Ventnor. With the
recent improvements in the street
and the rapid increase of' vehicu
lar traffic as a result of the many
new business establishments, the
congestion -has been most notice
able.
With the exception of the cor
ner properties, all the lots on the
west side of th estreet face oh
Victoria Avenue. It is contended
ay the proponents of the plan
;hat the widening of the street
ay taking three feet from the
Victoria Avenue lots would not
nake any appreciable difference
;o the back yards, while the added
width to the street would greatly
•elieve congestion and reduce the
ire risk.
Mrs. John Boyd Grier, who has
seen absent from Ventnor during
July and August, will return on
September 1st to her home at
4814 Ventnor Avenue. Mrs..
Grier has spent these summer
months at her girlhood home in
Peoria, 111., where, last week, oc
curred the very sudden death of
her sister, Mrs. J. V. Baer- Mrs.
Baer will be remembered by those
who met her when she visited Mrs.
Grier here in Ventnor.

I Fishing Stations for
Boardwalk Sport
Proposal that adequate "but suf
ficient fishing stations be erected
at frequent points along the Vent
nor Boardwalk for use of the dis
ciples of the rod and line is made
by Mayor Amor W. Brehman as
solution of the problem of allow
ing the fishermen to enjoy their
surf sport without interfering
with the pleasure of strollers on
he promenade. According vo
Mayor Brehman, who has made
the proposal after study of the
problem’ of boardwalk fishing
which took him to other coast re
sorts, cost of the innovation would
be nominal and the work could be
done by degrees as the small
amount of money needed is avail
able.
■ Under the plan proposed by
Mayor Brehman platforms would
be erected and attached to the
boardwalk at the points favored
by. the surf fishermen. The plat
forms would be small in area but
large enough to accommodate at
least a half dozen surf casters at
one time. Access to the fishing
stations would be made by climb
ing of the boardwalk rail which
would bar others than those in
tending to fish and regulations
would prevent use of the plat
forms for any other purpose than
that of fishing. The matter will
be brought before members of the
Boardwalk Committee and City
Council for their consideration.
