\* In sharp contrast with Florida, which seems to
overcome all obatacles, we long ago abandoned our
'/ attempt to brinf In Hfht industry which would detract
m not one whit from the eity*s attractiveness an a renort.
Similarly, we havt done nothing for a long time about
trying to establish a profitable private school or college
hire* or a winter convalescent Institution, despite the
fact that clean, invigorating Ocean Cit^ is an idea!

Just now we have an opportunity to convert the
abandoned trolley trestles into o loii£=needed municipal
nahinif pier, at comparatively trivial fust.
As usual, there is an obsiaele^thn question u* to
whgther eity or state will assume the reHponaibility of
drtdglng Kraues* Cut periodically,
Hurely some way can be found to surmount thU
obstacle!
The fishing pier fa important to thousand.s of sum-
mer visitors, therefore to Ocean City itself.
But even if it weren't very Important, it IS Im-
portant that, just for a change, we finish something we
have fiturted.
Lit'i emulate gtUit-dore Florida, Let's have that
fishing pier!
