ATLANTIC CITY. January 30 1909.
Only those who really know the resort
by personal contact can realize the beau
~ of the weather at the shore at this
season of the year. Atlantic City has
long ago passed the stage of a summer
resort, because of the atmospheric condi-
tons. and now leads this country, If not
the entire world. in the number Of Wis
itors from September to May, leaving out
all question of the summer crowds. For
some reason which no one has ever been
able to explain Atlantic City is far
warmer In the winter than any other
seaside resort, and yet there is enough
of the sharpness in the air to make 1t
far more pleasant than the southern
resorts.
There will be yet more opportunity for
promenades along the ocean front in the
near future, for the city of Ventnor.
South Atlantic City and the borough of
Longport have all gotten ready their
bond issues to raise funds for the extern
sion of the Boardwalk through those mu-
inequalities, and when they shall all have
completed the work of building there
will be a boardwalk stretching along the
entire ocean front of Absecom Island,
distance of a little more than twelve
miles-a thing not paralleled in the whole
world. The work of building the addi-
tiOnal five miles of boardwalk will be
started in the near future. and 1t is ex-
pected will be completed in time for the
winter visitors of 19O9-1O.
