Dr. Kinmouth was the editor of the Asbury Journal, which evolved into the Asbury Park Press.  The "balancing line" was held up by 150 towers made of steel angle iron construction.  There were three built.  The top section of the center tower was saved by Wall Towership and relocated and now sits along Marconi road.  The others were dismantled.

MARCONI COMPANY PURCHASES LAND

    Dr. H. S. Kinmouth has sold to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America a small piece of land from his farm in "The Garden of the Gods," near the Marconi plant at the head of the Shark River, Belmar, N.J.  The tract is three-cornered and contains about 300 square feet.  It will be used for a tower to hold a balancing line to run east and west with the Marconi plant.  The company has a "balancing line," as it is called, running north and south.  The lot sold by Dr. Kinmouth is at the west side of his farm, on the road leading from Corlies avenus to Glendola.
