“Know-City-Day”
Was Big Success
(Continued from Page 1)
at about 12.45. There were so
many however that it was well
after three o’clock before the
last machine was numbered and
posted with signs and left the
Atlantic City Yacht Club. From
here the procession moved down
Maine avenue to Pacific, down
Pacific to the High School, on
Atlantic avenue through Ventnor
and Margate, through Granada
Gables past Winchester Gardens,
through the circle of Marven
Gardens, up through Ventnor to
the Soldiers’ Memorial at Albany
avenue, over the Albany avenue
bridge and through the Airport,
back to Atlantic avenue and
thence through the resort’s busi
ness street to Brigantine, where
many of the thousands got their
first close-up view of this won
derful new development. From
here the route continued back to
the Absecon boulevard to Ab
secon, then through Pleasantville
to the Pleasantville boulevard
and West Atlantic City. Here
many of the people left the route
and returned back to Atlantic
City as the day was rapidly dy
ing and night approaching. Many
of them however turned as plan
ned and continued on past Tudor
Terrace, Northfield, Linwood
and to Somers Point, then on the
Longport boulevard to Longport
and back to Atlantic City proper.
This route gave everyone on
the trip a new insight into the
territory in which they live. The
day has been declared a success
by not only those who made the
trip but by city officials and
prominent business men as well.
Commissioner Wm. S. Cuthbert,
of Atlantic City, declared it the
greatest thing of its kind ever
put through in the resort.
Mayor Carleton Adams, of
Ventnor, stated, regarding the
day, “It was one of the greatest
things ever done, with a single
purpose, in the city. The effect
on the general prosperity next
year will be immeasurable.”
The successful carrying out
of the plans in Atlantic City and
the inevitable benefits to be de
rived by the day doubtless will
result in similar projects being
attempted in other cities through
out the country during the com
ing year. Several Florida resorts
are now making plans for such
an affair.

reads as follows: ~
City of Northfield '
Atlantic City, N. J.
Nov. 4, 1926.
William Ritz,
Northfield, N. J. .
Dear Sir:—
There is no one in Northfield
who has gone to the extremes you
have to blackguard me and my
friends in office here. You did all
you had wit enough to do to de
feat me yesterday. Instead of
enforcing the law with equal
justice towards all and malice
towards none, you have perse
cuted my friends and tried in
every way to belittle the adminis
tration. Your handling of traffic
conditions in Northfield has made
us the Hick Town of the Shore
Road. You have threatened
reputable citizens and ypur
personal appearance is the joke
of Atlantic City and County
official circles. At two o’clock
this morning, a county official
rang me up to congratulate me
on my re-election and suggested
that I could put across something
big for Northfield if I would re
move the vegetable soup from
your coat lapels.

You disgraced your office by
being put into a cell because of
your disrespect for the court of
justice, -when you should be an
example for the laymen to ob
serve proper court conduct. Two
of our young boys were settling
their differences in the way any
red-blooded he-boy would and
instead of bringing them to me
for a reprimand, you threw them
into jail where they had a choice
of two emotions, either shamed
faced mortification at being jail
birds or a braggart's pride in
being hard. And the county is
trying to establish a home for
boys just to overcome such fool
procedures. You have made no
attempt to consult me as head of
the Department of Public Safety.
You are an excellent example
of the most undemocratic institu
tion m America, intolerant Arro
gance born of the union of
Power and Ignorance, you are
wholly unfit to occupy the posi
tion of Chief of Police of the
City of Northfield and are hereby
discharged. You have proved
yourself unworthy to hold any
public office under the present
administration and this action is
taken at the insistent request of
some of the best and most
progressive citizens of our city.
Yours truly,
EUGENE SWILKEY,
Mayor.

Hall Annex at Tennessee and
Atlantic avenues.
A new system of numbering
will replace the present system
this year. The new registration
plan calls for the assignment of
a different key letter to each
county. This will eliminate all
high numbers and make it easier
for automobiles to be identified.
The highest number to be allot
ted will be 89,850, on an Essex
County license plate.
License plates will also be is
sued to non-resident automobil
ists. These plates will carry no
key letter, but the number will
be preceded by the figure 4, run-!
ning from 4-1001 to 4-5650.
No plates will be issued from
the Trenton office but must be
secured at the various agencies
in every county.
All cars with 1925 license
plates will be banned from the |
roads after the first of the year.
Branch offices are due to open
cn Monday, November 16. From
that date until December 2, of
fices will be open from 9 A. M.
until 5 P. M. only. From the
28th of December until the end
of the year, the offices will close
at 6 P. M. At no time will any
office be opened at night.

In speaking of the drive to a
“Ventnor News” representative
this week Mr. Buzby, the chair
man of the drive, said: “The
present dues of the Chamber are
$20 a year. It is expected that
this will be increased to $25 to
meet the executive salaries, of
fice expenses and overhead. If
| we succeed in increasing 'our
ranks until we have 2000 mem
bers our annual income will be
$50,000. This doubtless sounds
like a large amount to many
people but it might interest them
to know that in Sanford, Florida,
