Then another feature to the great ben.
eft OF ali Of this part OF the resort, is tha
the farmers and truckers of Milford Neck
near and leading from the shore, are be-
ing educated TO the fact that a good mar.
ket for their products has been opened
and thev are furnishing fresh vegetables,
butter, eggs, poultry and milk, where
they find ready sale at good prices.
Then the "Bayview" Hotel is coming
more in prominence every year, and the
proprietor is sparing no pains 10 accom-
modate his many guests. Located as il
is, facing the bay on one side and the
Murderkill on the front, makes il a de-
siTable place for guests, and the public is
awakening TO the fact.
Another fact, and that is an important
one, is the artesian well that has been
( put down at a depth Of two hundred and
twenty odd feet, centrally located, that
/ flows constantly thereby furnishing good
pure water 10 all Of that part of the re-
sort.
Then the character of the buildings on
the south side are TO be largely reckoned;
not only the aggregate number Thirty
three) but the size and material used in
their construction. Mrs. Gambler and
daughter, merchants of Bowers, and Miss
+ Butcher, have already erected four
large double cottages, costing at least one
thousand dollars EACH aside from the
furniture they contain.
Mrs. Thomas Blanchard, of Frederica /
has had built three new ones this season, I
costing in the aggregate from fifteen hum /
dred to two thousand dollars.
Oscar Bic, of Collingswood, n j., and .
who is engaged in the ship chandler bus
mess in Philadelphia, has two cottages
that has cost at least-including the furn-
ishings-tw0 thousand dollars.
Mr.. Charles Barker, of Milford, the
well. known agriculturist and horticulture
ist, has built for himself a good substan-
tial summer home, and is occupying it
and enjoying the inYigorating breezes of !
the bay, and his table is supplied with
the salt water luxuries of the season.
