Not only as place OF summer resort for
people of Washington and Baltimore, but of
permanent residence within convenient bust
ness distance of these already somewhat
crowded cities, nature has done ali that could
be desired for this charming location. II only
remains for its owners now 10 do their part,
making II OF easy access by proper railroad
and street improvements to insure its rapid
development. With good management and
enterprise all this can be readily done. With
out these facilities prudent citizens can hardly
be expected to buy and improve lots TO any
considerable extent, as they would be too In
| convenient and uncomfortable.
1.-THE estimates of the engineer are to be nc
| ccptcd and they are not called in question:,
n suitable railroad can be built, which will
| not only pay the interest on sufficient amount
| of bonds required for It's construction and fur
| nish an ample sinking fund for their redcmp-
ton, but also u liberal dividend upon the stock
Of the company. The road should, Therefore,
| be built from funds thus provided and that,
| too, as It seems to ono entirely disintercsted,
| without delay, leaving the proceeds from sale
of lots to be applied, ms far us needed in street
and other absolutely Indispensable improve
ments As both cities already have railroad
facilities with Upper Marlboro, tits only neces'
snry for the present % build road from that
point 70 the beach, which would cost compare
| lively little.
The outlook from the proposed hotel site and
vicinity upon the broad cxpansc OF the bay Is
| unusually attractive. The water-salt as that
| of the ocean, of which 1t Is, i'll fact, part
shoals very gradually over smooth sandy
| bottom, adapting 1t most admirably TO bathing
purposes. The fruit of the sea-lsh, crabs, and
| oysters-arc found in richest abundance and
| choicest quality, WHILE in their season, Wild
| ducks and other game are by no means want
| ing as an additional attraction both to the
| sportsman and the cpioure.
| The elevation is such rs to insure perfect
| drainage, and II would be difficult TO find any
! good reason why the place should not be free
| from malarial influences
Both Washington and Baltimore need JUS
such place of retreat and reircshment, anC
the sooner 1t can be made available the bettel
| 1t will be for all concerned. X.
