To Hold Annual FestiUaI-Bid for
Building NezC BOardzCalk.

Atlantic City, Dec Ia (SpeciaD.-The wide
spread attention attracted by the recent festival
incident to the completion of the paving of At
lantic avenue has induced the Business Mems
League and members of the Atlantic City Hotel
Mems Association take steps which will make
that permanent and annual feature of the re-
sort. A committee has been named. and it
will Immediately proceed on a plan that will
make Atlantic City's festival rival of the fa-
nous New Orleans Mardi Gras. The rough out
line of the plan is to have great day parade, a
mummers carnival one night, a mammoth ball
on one or two of the piers another night and
fireworks a third night The festival would
last about three days and occur, in all proba
bility. in the latter part Of September or early
in October
Private baths with every room apartment.
with salt water bathing features, have become
so much in demand that almost every large
hotel on the island has taken steps TO introduce
these luxureS. The last to adopt the salt water
and extra bathrooms is Haddon Hail. one of the
oldest and best known houses in Atlantic City.
The management, MeSSrS. Leeds and Lipplncott,
have just executed a contract for the construc-
ton of an immense tank which will be filed
with salt water, with separate heating plant
that will temper ii to bathing degree, and here
after guests there will only have tc walk to a
private bathroom and turn on the sp1got when
they desire TO take salt water dip IN cola
weather.
So many of the hotels along the beach front
have introduced salt water baths, in addition to
fresh water, that proposition has been made
by a syndicate of capitalists to build a large
pumping station and lay salt water mains
through the streets that cottages may have
this luxury, well as the large hotels If the
plan is carried out-and there is every to
believe it will be--the city will it to supply
the fire hydrants, instead of using the arteslan
well supply, which is now pumped into the
mains from the cty's pumping station at Abse
con- The introduction of salt water mains WILL
too, give the proprietors of smaller hotels a
chance to introduce salt water baths, which will
make their houses additionally attractive to
visitors.
