Atlantic City last year expended on the greatest of relax ation meccas, a total of $4,420,709. Of this amount $118,541 went for street cleaning and sanitation; $232,672 for lire protection to Insure the safety of holiday-making myriads; $222,G0$ to make the town so orderly that women may stroll on the Itoardwalk at any hour of the day or night without escort and without fear of molestation, and 192,281 to light the world-famed Board walk and Its streets. For the purpose of public education It paid out 1088,731. Ilsa 1'lne ficlinnl Hjrttrm It has thirteen public and three parochial schools, with 282 principals and teachers and 8290 pupils In the for mer. It has forty-nine miles of paved streets, four parks and many play grounds; two yacht clubs, thirty-live churches of all denominations; a $200,. 000 V. M. C. A. building and a city hos pita) which represents a similar itnest ment. It has few factories, and conse quently no Industrial problems, two yacht clubs and four hundred yachts and power craft, a drainage system that works, and a sewage disposal system that Is offered ns a model for cities uhere the problem Is by no means so difficult of solution as It Is here. Tor further evidence of Its ability to serve Washington as a restorer of human dynamos to keep the wln-the-war machine up to top notch, Atlantic City points to Its financial resources, the sinews of war It has five national banks and five trust companies, con servatively administered, with a capital of $1,600,0,00, a combined surplus of $2,095,000, close to half a million greater than the capital paid In ; undivided profits at last accounts of $550,146, and deposits of $15,960,337. ,Kor proof of Its patriotism the cliy might point to the fact that It went away over the lop of Its $2,200,000 allotment of the third liberty Loan and recently gave the Ited Cross $60,000 when It wnB nsked to raise $45,000. It "points with pride" nlso to the fact that since tho day Herbert Hoover asked the hotels and restnurnnls of the nation to dis pense with tho use of wheat until n. new crop was available In the fall Its hotels have been one hundred per cent wheat less, exponents of a patriotic propaganda spread through their pntrons to every corner of the United States and Canada. The Hplrnillil lintels Atlantic City ncxer wearies of talking of Its hotels. Them is nothing else that so thoroughly expresses tho pro gresslvo spirit of one of the most char acteristically Anurloan cities in the land. They started us modest boarding houses and grew us the necessity for quarters expanded. Kvcrythlng e.se fol lowed the lead of those who realized that ndequat housing Is the first essen tial of a city of pleasure. In many respects lite hotels are ahead of the city, for the heavy demands lnolved In supplying the fundamental essentials have not yet made it possible for the resort to undertake the ornamental de velopment which some day will trans form the Hoardwulk Into a magnificent esplanade and so enhance the town ns a whole that Its founders never would know the metromllH on the sands. They would have great dlfliculty now In believing the evidence of their eyes If they could scan the majestic pro portions of the Traymore, tho Marl-boroueh-Hlonhelm and tho other great hostelrles which lino the beachfront. There are no better hotels In the land than the Traymore. the Marlborough Hlenhelfii, the St. Charles, the Dennis, the Strand. Oalen Hall, which combines the facilities of a hotel and sanatorium; the Breakers, the Chatfonte. Haddon Hall, the Alamae. the fihelburne, the Koyal I'alacc, tho Chelsea and the Ostend. Tho Marlborough-Hlenlielm came Into existence to supply fitting quarters for diplomats, captains of Industry, big bankers and the Washington olllclal set. which wanted something better than Atlantic City prior to that time afforded In hotel accommodations. An other consideration It met and continues to meet was the furnishing of improxed facilities for conventions. The Traymore also was built with ft special ohject. the provision of Broad way, nroart street and f'ennsyivanin ave nue accommodations for that numerous body of Americans who live In hotels all! the year and like the contact with crowds , and the glamour that goes with hotel life. It was built at n cost of $4 nnn.ono bv n syndicate headed by Daniel R. White, dean of shore hotel men and one of the most conservative men In the city. Men questioned the wisdom of the en terprise; some predicted It would not' pay for Ave yearB at least. A Tremendous I'laee Like his cousins the Whites, who blazed the way with the Marlborough Blenheim. Dnnlel S. White hud confi dence In Atlantic City and lis destiny. Ills confidence has been Justified, for the Traymote Is paying today, "paying big," as Atlantic City phrases tho game. Ast many ns four conventions have been In progress there at the same time. Men who come lioastlng of the hotel palaces of many of the big western cltlei look over the big car.'nnnsarles of the Board walk and are silent. Other hotels, run Just as efficiently, provide for the religious conventions and conferences which have done much to correct some of the misconceptions for merly widely spread ns to Atlantic .city's moral caliber.
