Adequate protection of the Jersey coast from the sea
A December 17, 1914 Long Branch issue reports on plans to shield the Jersey coast from storm damage. It highlights a Trenton conference that outlined cooperation among state, county, city governments and oceanfront property owners, with U.S. federal aid likely. The piece notes leaders like Ackerson, Godfrey, Wheaton, Thomson, Van Note and Governor Fielder pushing for legislation, and quotes Martin Beck on anticipated prosperity amid war-driven economic shifts. It also covers Treasury revenue losses from the European conflict, shifts in imports, and the stance on Canal Zone neutrality with renewed calls for warships to guard Panama. The column cites Edison’s enduring influence and Villa’s political ambitions, ending with a note on ice-yachting prospects and daily newspaper sections.
