CURTIS BAY RESORT

Notorious Place at Floods Park

GOOD INDUSTRIAL SITE.
Jack" Flood Has Conducted Place
for More Than 20 Years---Told
to Move.

Within another year Floods Park,
the resort located at the extreme south
ern end of Curtis Bay, this county and
has gained more or less notoriety dur
ing the twenty or more years of its
existence will be thing of the past.
The lease obtained on the property
by Jack" Flood at the time the park
was opened, and which expires at the
close of the summer of 1916, it is un-
derstood, will not be renewed by the
South Baltimore Harbor and Improve
ment Company, and Flood, therefore.
will be compelled to shift the scene of
his activities elsewhere
The management of the company
which owns the park has nothing to
say regarding the action taken in de-
Ginning to renew the lease The Off
GERS state that they have no informa-
ton to make public. 1t is generally
understood, however, that Flood has
been apprised of the fact that he will
have to vacate and will make his ar
rangements accordingly.

covered by Floods lease comprises APP
proximately five acres of ground, bor
dering on Curtis Bay. What is gem
orally known as Floods Park, how
ever covers about ten acres and ex-
tends back to the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks, possibly half mile
from the park proper
Floods Park has been in existence
nearly quarter of century. Back
in the nineties Jack" Flood approach

erty and agree to lease it as a pleas
ure resort. That was before the day

Persons who visited the park in those
days either drove by vehicle or went
down by boat. The location was an
ideal one for resort. 1t has a broad
water front and soon became popular.
not only with certain element in the
city of Baltimore, but for the people
who lived in and around the Curtis
Bay district
Fifteen years ago the first car line
was built in that section and later on
direct traction connections were es-
tablished between Curtis Bay and Bal
timore. 1t was then that Floods Park
really began to prosper and this pros
perity has continued undated ever
since. The property which has been
occupied by Floods Park for so many
years. is looked upon as an advanta-
geous site for a large industrial en-
terprise, and while the South Balti-
more company has made no announce
ment of its purpose in declining to de
new the lease, it is intimated that. be-
cause of the rapid development of tina,
section of Curtis Bay for industrial
purposes, the Flood Park tract is need
ed to make room for this growth.
IT is understood that persons inter
ested in the erection of a new plant at
Curtis Bay look with favor on the
park site, and it is not unlikely that
when the property is vacated this tract
will be the scene of extensive improve
ments.
