Amusemcnts for Seaside Visitors
VIII BE Afforded
Tybee Island is TO be greatly improved,
and its attractions as a seaside resort are
10 be enhanced. The hotel and broad ex-
panse of ocean win be supplemented by
amusements that will serve to draw
larger crowds and entertain them after
their arrival.
An enthusiastic meeting was held last
night at the Pulaski House, when the
matter was gone into thoroughly. 1t was
shown that the interests of Savannah
and the interests of Tybee demand that
steps be taken for the creation of addi-
tional amusements for summer visitors
on the island, and the responses of those
present to the call for substantial evil
dence of the interest they take in the pro-
ject was such as to indicate that success
is in sight.
BY those present 5000 was subscribed
TO the stock of the Tybee Beach Pleasure
Company, and there was considerable more
in such prospect that it was counted upon
as certain. 1t is believed that soliciting
committee appointed for the purpose win
find their way an easy one. and that
those approached will respond readily and
willingly.
1t is desired to secure a minimum Of
$4,000 of stock, but the company will have
the privilege of increasing the amount to
$4,000. The Improvements that ore to
be made WILL it is thought. cost some
thing like $4,000 Just what will be
tablished in the way of improvements has
not been determined, but it is probable
that the very latest and most attractive
amusements will be agreed upon.
The meeting was presided over by Mr..
G. II. Dorset, who. on motion. was called
TO the chair. Among those present were
Messrs. b. H. Levy. G. NJ. Ryals, Isaac
Beckett, Arthur solomon. Norman Beck
EFT. D. b. Morgan, Charles +. Graham,
S. L. Lazaron. VI. II. Schaul, VI. Ed Will
son, ]. G. Butler, T. H. Brandon, J. w.
Grantham. +. W. Storer. B. Cohen and
II. S. Meinhard. Mr.. Meinhard was made
secretary of the meeting.
The object of the. meeting was briefly
expressed by Mr.. Graham, who was fol-
lowed at greater length by Mr.. Lazaron,
who reoited the existing conditions, and
appealed to those present to apply the
remedy, that remedy being the equip
meut of Tybee as a seaside resort, with
arnusernents that will not only equal, but
surpass, those that are 10 be found at
the Isle Of Palms near Charleston, Pablo
Beach and other competitive resorts. Mr..
Lazaron showed that Tybee. in times
past the leading seaside resort of the
South Atlantic coast, is losing its pres
tige because of the failure of those in
terested TO furnish the attractions that
should supplement those TO be found in
fine bathing, fishing and the view of the
mighty ocean.
The gathering was visibly impressed by
the force OF Mr.. Lazarons talk, and he
followed it I'D by introducing the follow
iug resolution, which was unanimously
adopted. those whose names appear be-
low signing the paper and making their
subscriptions:
Whereas, 1t is recognized that Tybee
Is an important factor in the development
of the business interests of our city dur
ing the summer months, and that in pro-
portion to the maintenance or non-main-
tenance of its prestige as a pleasure re-
sort will its advantages be preserved, in
creased, diminished or lost: and,
Whereas, The energy and enterprise
of our neighbors in the development of
competing resorts will divert from Sa-
vannah the coming season a large per-
centage of the business heretofore enjoy
ed by the superior advantages and at
fractions which they afford to the pleas
ure-seel1ing public, unless immediate steps
are taken to prevent the same;
