Movement Started at Hampton,
Looking to Preservation Of
Pleasure Park
POWER PLANT ALSO TALKED
Use of Water in Lake for This Pur-

Hampton. Dec Sit is understood
that a move has been made here look
ing to the ultimate preservation of the
pleasure park at Beeds lake. and the
up keep of the dam, and consequently
the safety of the water in the lake for
boating, bathing, fishing and other
purposes. Since the abandonment Of
the mill las. summer it has been a
question whether this popular resort
would be preserved for the use OF the
people of this county Natural wear
and decay would soon get in their work
on the woodwork Of the dam and the
earth entertainments, and it would be
only question of time when the water
would escape, and the main beauty OF
the place ice lost.
1t is understood that a proposition
will be submitted whereby stock
company is to be organized and may
purchase the pond and adjacent land,
including the pleasure park and camp
grounds, perhaps sell off such plots
as are not needed for pleasure pur-
poses and develop the remainder and
make use of it as a picnic ground. In
time, it is thought that many would
build summer cottages there for occu-
pancy during the hot months.
There is no question as to the pop
ularity of the place among the people
of this county. Hardly pleasant day
passes during the summer that party
of picnickers does not visit the lake
for an outing. Undoubtedly stock could
be sold in all parts of the county, II
thereby the preservation of the lake
could be assured.
Nor is this all of the proposition now
being talked. The use of the place as
a pleasure ground would not detract
in the least from the possibilities of
the water being used in power plant.
1t is also proposed to organize sec
ond company to take over the mill,
perhaps to operate it as roller mill,
or it might be used as a power plant,
or both. Dynamos could be installed
and the electrical energy transferred
to this city for light and power pur-
poses, all probably at much less cost
than when produced by steam power.
An effort will likely be made in a
short time to interest the Hampton
Commercial association and local cap
ital in the matter.
