The Victoria Hotel Company In
corporated and They Are Sell
inq Stock For the Erection
OF q Six Story Concrete
and Steel Structure
THE CREST BECOMES A BOROUGH

III UKESl n
The Victoria Hotel Company has
been incorporated under the laws of
New Jersey for the purpose of erecting
a six-story steel and concrete fireproof
hotel at Wildwood Crest, to be located
on the block bounded by Pacific ave.
nue. and Columbine and Wisteria
roads, fronting on the board walk. The
officers are Harry b. Plumb, president;
John w. Purves, treasurer; and r. e.
Stewart, secretary. The company has
headquarters at 518 Bulletin building,
Philadelphia. Such a hotel is needed
on the island and it is the opinion of
the Journal that properly managed it
can be made to pay. There are lots of
people who do not come here simply
because of inadequate hotel accommo-
dations and if Wildwood Crest builds
this hotel with private baths and con-
tanning all the comforts and luxuries
that the modern well to do business
mar demands this trade will go to the
Crest.
~ On Wednesday Governor Fort signed
the bill incorporating Wildwood Crest
as a borough. An election for officers
will soon be held.
