Woman’s Generosity Still Helping Mounted Unit

OCEAN CITY – Another extremely generous donation to the resort’s mounted patrol unit was accepted this week.

At the conclusion of Monday evening’s Mayor and City Council meeting, City Solicitor Guy Ayres announced some good news.

A few years back, Ocean City resident Virginia Murray passed away and left a large amount of money to be used specifically towards the Ocean City Police Department’s Mount Patrol.

In the past, Ayres has delivered the city two checks, equaling up to $300,000 from Murray’s estate.

“I have the final distribution from that estate,” Ayres said. “I have a check here tonight for $27,416.85, which means the total under her will of $327,416.85.”
