Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1915-04-23

The fishing smack, Clara, Captain
Axelson, has been taken to Atlantic
City for repairs prior to going south.
Work has commenced again on the
new hotel for Louis Bishop.
A. e. Grace is building a large case
line tank on the corner of New York
and Walnut avenues.
Ladies win please notice that after
January LIST the Wild wood Embroidery
Shop will close every evening at six
O'Clock until further notice. 1872 E.
Wildwood avenue.
It is up to the weather as to whether
we have a quick, fine spring or not;
present sym ptoms seem to imply that
the g BOD weather will be with W, and
the people who yeaFn for the shore and
the broad ocean are already beginning
to get busy aud make the best of the
early selections Ia the way OF improved
home sites, cottages, apartments, etc.
The whole of Five Mile Beach within
the past ten days has undergone a de-
lightful change in that 1t has passed
from the dreaIiness of wintertime to
the balmy and delightful springtime.
Everybody seems to be busy making
gardens and cleaning up their yards.
Trees are sending forth new leaves and
the birds are making merry; aud the
general ex preston seems to be s'Thank
the Lord that Summer is coming.n
Among the recent investors 10 the
North Wild wood section have been a
Mr.. Ziebarth, who has taken a choice
pair of lots in the New York avenue
section aud will build a natty little
bungalow on one of them.
Contractor Frank B. Sharp, notwith-
standing the fact that he badly wrench
ed his back last week, was able to work
on the Murphy bungalow in the New
York avenue section, while another
contract vas closed with a well known
police official of Philadelphia for q
water front piece OF ground on the
Ottens Canal Extention who will erect
a $1,000 bungalow there before July.
Undoubtedly the GrandJury matters
at the Court House have had our peo-
pie do a lot Of talking and the status of
the seashore club house hangs in the
balance. The hotel people are active
regarding the efforts OF certain people
interfering with what they consider
their lawful business, aud before the
matter is finally settled there may be
a number OF sensations sprung.
The Anglesea wharf is now taking
on the aspect of summer in as much as
all the summer boats are now putting
in their appearance resplendent in new
paint and new rigging. 1t is fully ex-
pected that instead of less boats sailing
from Angleses wharf there will be
more than ever this season as it is
rumored that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Ocean City steamers will again
ply between Anglesea and the resorts
north Of us. At any rate the wharf
where these boats formerly locked is
being greatly enlarged; new piling and
new decking being placed or 1t.
Sight seers who visit the Anglesea
wharf will probably be surprised to
note the removal of the whale bones
which have been one of the curiosities
of this section for a few years past.
This mighty skeleton is being removed
to parts unknown by its owner, Com
modore Charles Mace.
The pound net fishermen have COM
pleted putting 10 their nets of which
there is at least sixteen along this part
of the coast, and anticipate a large run
Of sea food. All the old companies are
In 1t stronger than ever and Anglesea
will probably pay several hundred
thousand dollars In wages during the
ensuing fishing season.
The Gardner cottage which'was part
~ burnt down last fall located at Fifth
and Atlantic avenues, is being extern
sively improved into a modern cottage.
One of the surest signs of good times
this season has been the heavy num-
Der of applicants at the Hotel Ottens
for meals. One day last week nearly
a dozen transient visitors stopped to
see If they could be served with meals.
The proprietors, the Mrs. Campbell
and Mra KfnAfO .hovo fha bofot IN
splendid condition and will soon be
open for business.
Fire broke out yesterday at noon in
a small building OF Frank p. Mattera
which was put out by the fire compa-
MES.
