missioners appreciate the co
operation of property owners in
the prompt payment of taxes
which are needed to pay obliga
tions falling due at this time in
the year.
* The spirit of co-operation was
never more apparent than during
the year 1922 and the number of
new houses erected and improve
ments made during that period
has been encouraging. Let’s co
operate and hasten the bright
future that awaits our Borough.

Favor Pier Opening
Many ladies of the Colony Club
as well as many other prominent
citizens of Ventnor are urging
that the Ventnor Pier be kept
open in the winter.
According to Mrs. Godfrey
Mahn, 5603 Atlantic 'Avenue,
there is no reason why the pier
should be kept open to summer
transients and then closed to the
residents who pay taxes for its
p-keep. “The pier should be kept
open,” she says, “so that women
can meet there to sew and discuss
various charities in which they

are interested. At present there
is no place where the Colony Club
can meet except at the City Hall
where they have to pay for the
room. But if the pier were kept
open, no charge would be made;
and since the Colony Club is en
gaged in charity work, it seems
unfair that it should be required
to pay for a meeting place.”
Mrs. Godfrey Mahn claims that
the place can easily be equipped
with gas radiators and that
weekly card parties and dances
could be arranged for as a part
of the life of the community, be
sides being an excellent meeting
place for civic organizatiorfs and
clubs of various kinds.

The Importance of Proper and
Profitable Investment
is one of the basic principles of successful progress
by an insurance company. By growth of resources
the stockholder receives added premiums,’ while the
insured is protected by increased reserves and bene
fited by ability on the part of the company to
insure at the lowest premium rates allowed by law.
The Atlantic City Fire Insurance
, Company ,
has risen to prosperity through the judgment and
ability of its officers in financial matters and by the 'M
faith of those who believe in its policies. It stands
today a monument to its founders and an institution ^
which places its powers of service at the call of its
patrons. Atlantic City property holders should
