land that is suitable for building purposes is being
t-nroved and while the last years have
,linsed ali records in the erection OF new villas,
,here are many who believe that the coming fall
viii witness even greater improvements along that
line than in the past
one Of the most noticeable improvements at Long
prancb is in the ocean drive. The drive, from Ell
baron TO North Long Branch. has been newly gray

,,as started the last week n april. only COM
Melted this week. At the close of last season the
drive in many places was in bad shade, as nothing
had been done toward permanent improvement
aside from the usual spring patching. since the
second term OF Rufus Blodgett's administration
Mayor some six years ago
If there is any thing that Long Branch
boasts itself above another it is its fine drives
They radiate in every direction Stone, gravel and
rnacadan drives Of many miles. together with
lakes rivers and the broad Atlantic bordering upon
them, are what attract thousands here during the
summer
another noticeable change over last season is the
Improvement OF the clubhouse grounds Last sea.
