built of solid masonry and will be |
so feet long. A driveway will
extend across the dam. The i'm
proyement contemplates a drive
along the east shore of the lake to
the Deer Park road, near the
northern boundary line of this 500
tract of land. A bridge will be
built across Broad Ford run to
Crystal Spring drive, connecting it
with the Lake drive.
Thus gradually are the well ma
tured plans of the Park Association
being carried out. For years the
Association has mapped out a line
of improvements, and year after
year they have put these plans into
execution.
Debt hes been avoided, In all
these years the Association has
never had check disbonored by
the bank; never judgment render
cd against it; never mortgage pla-
ced upon It's property; never a prom
Use made but which has been full
filled, thousands of dollars have
been paid to the citizens of Garrett
county to make these improvements.
Slowly, securely has the work gone
on, until to-day an investment at
Mountain Lake Park is considered
as safe as q government bond.
When an enlarged auditorium
was demanded, it was built; when
electric lights were required, 10 and
behold they came; when a system
of sewerage and water works were
needed, the subject received proper
attention. Thus has it ever been
and thus will it ever be.
Each year the founders of this
Christion resort have seen a steady,
reliable growth in the number of
new houses, the opening of new
streets and avenues and each year
has the sale of lots advanced over
the preceding year. The sales for
the year ending Dec. Is, 1894,
reached the gratifying sum of
$11, 900,
Wooden bridges are giving place
to substantial iron structures, mar
row inch walks have disappeared
and in their place 8-foot two inch
oak walks are enjoyed. The latest
improved road machines are used
to grade the streets and avenues,
and shortly a large iron roller will
be here to solIdify the drives.
In the past Mountain Lake Park
has been the leading resort of the
Allegheny regions. Its growth and
its prosperity has attracted moneyed
men and spectators to this noun
tain region, and numerous addi-
tons and resorts are opening up on
the line of the B. & O. railroad
from Altamont to Terra Alta. The
future growth, the magnificent
summer programs Of the Park, the
extensive advertising of the Associ-
alton will assist these new ventures
in their efforts to become establish
ed, and as they grow Mountain
Lake Park will continue to develop
in all its interests and be the ideal
Christian health and summer resort
of the Allegheny mountains.
Its great Chautauqua and sum-
mer schools, its undenominational
and international camp meeting,
its national W. G. u. T., school of
Methods, the annual convention of
local preachers of the United States
will continue to attract the best
class of people to this mountain
summit and add to the income of
our county tens of thousands of
dollars.
The wonderful sale of lots, the
astonishing amount of improve
ments of the past year is the result
of honest advertising, the sue
cessful camp meeting, the W. G..
Il. U. convention and the Chautau-
qua and the prompt payment of all
claims in cash, and the fact that
the Association has fulfilled it's
promises.
The Park has no connection in
any way with any other resort, nor
does or will its future depend upon
anything else than upon the repu-
tation it has made for truthfulness
IN all its representations, honesty
in all It's transactions, and a deter
mination to maintain resort where
the sanctity of the Sabbath is
observed, where drunkenness and
gambling is prohibited by restrict
i've laws. Mountain Lake Park is
no rival of any resort that may be
established on this mountain sum-
nit. 1t has its mission and will
fill it. HEMLOCK.
