1 Lynn Haven, Jan. 1o.-rhis region Of
| the bay country abounding in resour-
ces which are constantly being reveal
| ed has sprung another surprise which
promises new impetus 10 at least one
Or more projects.
The Messrs. Cummings, H. NJ, G. K,
and H x, are capitalists of New York
city who recently came down here to
! demonstrate their very substantial
| theories as to what this country Will
| do agriculturally and otherwise.
On their land at Bay Head, they re-
| Gently struck an artesian we'll whose
| flow entirely answers any probleTn OF
water power on their 200-acre estate
/ The well flows to a height OF 81 IL
| feet above tide water and produces
| 5000 gallons a day with sufficient force
! to guarantee ample supply to any
| dwelling in the vicinity. The expense
Of pumping apparatus is directly and
| obviously unnecessarw for the three
residences already erected by these
| New Workers
Bay Head, close to Lynn Haven, Is
| beautifully situated in our usual ma
tural and tropical setting of magnolia,
pine and oak, and is on the border of
North bay This new artesian well
opens up a trend of thought for our
neighborhood: thought merely dor
nlant for the land here suggests posi-
billUieS that even gushing well does
not have to inspire. A large sanitar-
will be realized.
The Cummings trio has sent for an
analysis of the artesian water as 1t
doubtless possesses medicinal value as
we'll as that of foTceful flow. Gradual
ly the bayshOres are being dotted with
homes, the whistle of the locomotive
disturbs the primal silence and Lynn
Haven IS becoming of the world.
Welfare League.
In print-shop talk, the headline

for that organization does something

Gus cheerfulness evident on every

City Park.
Lynn Haven has on two occasions
turned out EN- U1asse and cleared an
area on the bayfront for a city park.

citizen, has been the father of the
thought and an active worker In the
cleanup campaign for the park. Con
trary to q few pessinistic minds who
opined that the work would be loves

land is being cleared. It is for the
people and for the town. One old man
