ATLANTIC CITY TO HAVE
MANY NEW STRUCTURES
Building Activity Promises to
Eclipse Previous Years.

Wars unsettlement does not seem to
affect the building operations at Atlantic
City. The projects that are in course of
construction and those contemplated bid
fair to exceed previous years. The cause,
for such activity is simply case of sup
ply and demand. During the past season
not single large hotel was able to sup
ply the demand for accommodations and
waiting lists were being conducted dur
ing the entire season.
The apartment houses which were con-
structed to take care of the overflow were
taxed to their limit, which gave new
hope to the owners and induced capital
lists to Invest In several large new build
ings which are being constructed.
The new $1,000 900 Improvement to the
Hotel Traymore, which has just been
begun, gave impetus to hotel improve-
ment and was closely followed by the
contemplated Improvement to the Hotel
Rudolf. The lobby exchange, etc.
will occupy the entire mezzanine floor
and the stories above will be devoted to
sleeping rooms. An innovation in sea-
shore planning will be the roof garden.

led TO Broad street and both divisions
drove toward City Hall.
They met at Market and Juniper streets
and then started east. Along Broad
street and in the more densely crowded
Market street pedestrians ran to the
curb and lined the way when they saw
the parade coming. The vehicles, each
decorated with Evening Ledger posters,
made n line two blocks long.
At Second and Market streets the lead
ers turned south and continued to Wal
nut street. When Sixth and Walnut
streets was reached the vehicles were
drawn to the curb in front of the big
Curtis Building and camera-men took
several pictures. Then the wagons dis
persed to their district stations and the
automobiles ran to Chestnut street to be
ready for the first edition.

HORSES GIVE WAY
To AUTOMOBILE

E. D. Newell has purchased from w.
H. Dubois the stage line between Kill
bourn and Baraboo and the horses must
give way to an automobile truck The
stage by team has been running since
before the Civil War and is one of the
Oldest institutions in Sank county.
When Newport was in its heyday the
stage made regular trips to the village,
the passengers being ferried across the
river to the railroad station on the
opposite shore. This did not last long,
however, and Kilbonrn became the
destination for the stage. 1t is thought
that when the present contract with the
postofice department expires, the mail
will no longer be carried from Kibourn
to Baraboo and back again, the stage
coming from Kilbourn to Delton only.
Some think the postoffice at Delton
NAV be discontinued and the villages be
served by rural carrier as are many
villages in this county. This is thing
to be determined in the future, however.

Mr.. Dubois.
