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 n 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 tho roof garden,
