People of THIS City for sum-
mer Time.
Within year there.is every possibil-
ity that summer cottages will be dot
ting the property that surrounds the
beautiful Tumbling Dam pond.
While much has been said In the
past of the possibilities of the property
In this locality as beautiful resort for
summer time, 1t seems that practical
demonstration was not deemed advis-
able until now, aud since the purchase
OF the considerable amount of prop
erty by Capt. Lehman Garrison, there
has been almost universal demand for
lots.
The South Jersey Traction Company
will open up this tract in a wonderful
manner. Few people, as yet, fully un-
derstand the nature of the project.
The Traction Company intends and
already has begun work upon the
scheme of taking the trolley system
directly to this valuable site. The
road goes out the Deerfield pike to the
old road leading down to the picnic
grounds of the Tumbling Dam, By
purchese the company has acquired
thirty feet of property extending the
entire length of this road on the north.
The tracks will be laid down this road,
to a point directly adjoining the prop
erty of the Cumberland Nail g. Iron
Company marked by the growth of
heavy timber, and then turning north,
runs some five hundred feet to tract
of land decided to the company by
Capt. Garrison. This tract adioins
the Iron Co.'s property and extends
clear down to the waters edge,a point
just above Mr.. r. J. Bucks bath
houses. This tract contains consider.
ably more than an acre and it is said
the company intends to make a pavil-
ion depot here for the express benefit
of the thousands who will undoubtedly
be transported there almost daily.
Directly north of this is the tract of
Capt. Garrison, and at this point on
Saturday last, fifteen splenidly located
building lots were sold. Possibly a
description should be given that every.
one may fully understand.
Capt, Garrison had prepared a map
of this property showing the location
of the lots, and certain streets which
he will open. A fifty foot street, will
be continued from the stopping place
of the trolley road north $50 feet, in
tersecting with another street fifty
sect wide, which will run directly west
to the waters edge of the pond Fac-
ing upon the first named street are
five lots, 50xS0 which were numbered
upon the maps, /, 4, Z, 10 and 10.
These lots were purchased at the fol-
lowing prices:
No. Henry Maier. $65.
No. 3-Bentley w. Rogers, SAL.
No. bentley w. Rogers, $35.
No. 10-Christian F. Krauter, Sal.

Another street one hundred and
sixty feet feet west of the first men.
toned thoroughfere, will be laid out,
upon which face five other lots, all
50xS0. These lots on the map are num-
bered 3, 5, s, II and IA, These lots
were sold as follows:

No. 5-Bentley w. Rogers, $26

This leaves five lots fronting west on
the pond, and east upon the street
last spoken of. These lots vary from
50x50 to 50x172. There was quite de-
mand for these most desirable lots.
