Patrons of the Brighton Casino will dance
in artificial moonlight when that fashion,
able rendezvous for the hotel colony reopens
in the near future for Its winter season.
Electricians have contrived an ingenious
scheme of illumination for the spacious
ball room, and the combined brilliancy OF
500 incandescent lights will be disseminat-
ed through a pale green background OF
lattice work. decidedly novel.
Samuel Jamison of Philadelphia is to
erect 1OO-room brick, steel and stone hotel
at the ocean end of Kentucky avenue.
Plans have been adopted and the new struc-
ture will be ready for spring visitors. There
will be also twenty-five baths and the
hotel, when complete, will represent an In
vestment of $4,000.
Advocates of boardwalk removal have
come to the front again and there is talk
of making the change at the expense of the
property owners If city council will grant
the required consent on the part of the
city. THE boardwalk should be moved out
to a new location based upon a line drawn
perfectly straight from North Carolina
avenue to the Heinz pier" Is the opinion Of
Samuel Leeds of Haddon Hall. The prom
enade at Massachusetts avenue would be
well out in the water but this should not
be a serious objection Much of the walk
was in the ocean when it was erected in
1896. The piling, however. has accumulated
sand in such quantities that now only q
very small section of the structure is touch
ed by the tide except at high water" The
change, proposed, would make great
changes on the upper beach. There would
be new building territory in the vicinity
of Massachusetts, avenue sufficient In area
for small town of itself, and the tax to
be derived therefrom would be an impor-
tant addition to the municipal revenue.
The latest proposition for a mammoth
convention hall is to buy a site in the Inlet
section adjacent to the proposed park IL
is now practically certain the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company is to create there.
The situation is excellent, and its prox-
unity to the boating colony is considered
an attractive feature. Another proposition,
and one that finds much favor with the
hotel people, is to buy condemn the
steeplechase pier and make the conven-
ton hall a public enterprise in its entire
ty The pier and its site, IT is believed.
could be purchased for 500, 900 or there
abouts Another appropriation of like size
would be ample to enlarge the present spa
cious auditorium on the pier, or remove 1t
and erect structure especially adapted
to the needs of large assemblies. II be-
lieve," said A hotel man today, that a
s2oWo bond issue would be ample to ac-
qulre the piers structure and provide an
auditorium large eonugh to house ma
tional political convention. And conven-
ton hall over the sea would be an attrac-
ton to my mind attractive enough to make
Atlantic City the greatest convention city
in the world. If any other seashore resort
in the world possesses an auditorium over
the ocean have not heard of it."
