Ventnor, England
Native Is Here
Famou* Organist Declares Amer
ican Ventnor Has Homes as
Handsome as Any in the East
“Ventnor, New Jersey, and
Ventnor, England, the namesake
of the local city, are alike in name
only,” is the opinion of Edwin
B. LeMare, world-famous organ
[ ist, who is vacationing at Craig
| Hall. Mr. LeMare was born and
raised in Ventnor, England, and
was surprised to learn on arriv
ing here of another community
by the same name.
“Here palatial residences con
stitute the beauty of the city
which I find to be one of the hand
somest, architecturally, in the
.East. In the Old Country, Vent
nor derives its charm, not from
its homes, but from the marvel
ous landscape of the surrounding
hills and mountains. The houses
there are like jails, asylums and
institutions. The mansions are
all constructed of cold forbidding
looking stones, and the smaller
houses are frail and shack-like
in appearance.
“Here, in America, the en
semble of Ventnor is magnificent.
The beauty of no section is de
stroyed by the presence of some
unsightly structure put next to
it. I must compliment the pub
lic officials who supervise all con
struction, on the successful reg
ulation of their buildings.
“Abroad, Ventnor has several
beautiful homes, such as Steep
hill Castle, whose appearances
are spoiled by neighboring eye
sores.
On the Isle of Wight, which
is where my Ventnor is located,
the beach is of a peculiar com
position called ‘shingles.’ These
are solid globules about the size
of a pea. Sitting or reclining
upon them, however, is as soft
and comfortable as upon the fin
est beach sand in America. These
shingles are of a reddish-brown
color but when polished by a lap
sidary sparkle have all the bril
liance of valuable diamonds.
“There are no boardwalks on
Mrs. Remington is having her

B. J. Krause is making exten

Prof, and Mrs. Charles H.
LaWall are occupying their cot
tage on 12th Avenue.
The large number of motor

Longport had many visitors by

the Isle of Wight, but in Ventnor
there is an avenue that runs /
along the edge of the bathing
beaches. This is a substitute for
the famed wooden-way on Ab
secon Island. " -
“If there he any resemblance
in these two cities it is in the
gardenings of the private homes.
I find the verdant hedges and
the lawns very English. In fact
the landscape gardening of Vent
nor is the most English of any
community not on the British
Isles I have ever visited and I
have visited the world around.” V
Sinking Fund Makes
Ready to Finance
Recently the Sinking Fund
Commission held a meeting in the
Ventnor City National Bank and
officially stated that the financial
condition of the fund is perfect
and that they are now ready to
handle any bonds or securities
issued by the city.
The fiscal report showed that
$15,000 of the 4% Liberty Bonds
will be turned over the United
States Government for redemp
tion, and that $63,000 in the \
form of bonds were put into the
strong box. These latter consist
of 4 M United States Liberty
Bonds and' Ventnor City Fire
Bonds.
The commissioners attending
the meeting were: Mayor Al
merin Marston, president; Geo.
Bratten, secretary and treasurer;
