a New Project that Offers Great In
ducements to Morristown People.
The Cedar Lake Park, Incorporated,
is q corporation July organized under
the Laws Of New Jersey for the pur-
pose Of developing the tract around
the lake formerly known as Silver
Lake in Rockaway township.
It has possession of about S25
acres of property, OF which total
acreage about 1903 acres comprises the
Lake, which is approximately one
mile in length, and around which it
is proposed to lay out an attractive
summer resort.
The Cedar Lake Company has had
surveyed by Lewis Van Duyne that
part of the property contiguous to the
lake. This stretch entirely surrounds
the Lake and is subdivided in 1875
lots. The lots have width Of so feet
EACH excepting at the sontherly end
OF the Lake where some OF the lots
are 200 feet wide.
The company is now cutting
through the timber width OF 30 feet
in preparation for a roadway which
will be placed back of all lots sur
rounding the lake, making each lot
approximately 200 to 800 feet deep ac-
cording to the topography Of the land
where the road is to run. The prop
erty being very large one, the lots
that have been surveyed comprises a
very small fraction Of the total acre
age.
The company owns to the extreme
summit of the mountain ON the wes-
terIy side. From this point the view
is most magnificent, having pano-
rama Of two valleys that are magnifi-
cent in the extreme. No more beauti-
full spot could be selected for a hotel
than at this point which is 1000 feet
above tide-water.
Cedar Lake is only seven miles
from Morristown and about one mile
north from Dengille 1t is about three
miles west from Boonton, making the
distance from New York only thirty
three miles. With the trolley line
constructed from Boonton to Rocka-
way and from Rockaway to Norris
town, it will bring the Inhabitants of
both Morristown and Boonton within
very short ride to the southerly end
of the Lake.
Cedar Lake, as stated. is the new
name for what was originally Silver
Lake and has been known for years
as great fishing spot. The Lake
has been troubled with floating isl
