But that is not the way Mr. Bradley. A BEACH AND OCEAN VIEW. does business. More than fifteen miles of street mains have been provided, to say nothing of house con-nection pipes, and there is not a cesspool in the entire borough. The sewage is discharged into the seaat a point many feet from the shore, and is so quickly and thoroughly dispersed through the vast body ofwater which receives it that not the least odor is at any time perceptible. Still another evidence of the careful avoidance of a cheese-paring policy is that afforded by thewide streets, spacious sidewalks and numerous squares and other open spaces of this model little city, andit has been truly said that there will never be another seaside resort from Sandy Hook to Barnegat Inletwith as wide streets and open spaces as Asburv Park, because nearly all the land north and south ofAsbury Park has been mapped out or is owned in smaller parcels than the original tract nf Asbury Park.
