It may prove rather cheerful Dews
to know that the advent Of the spring
of 1915, says George G. Common, has SO
far been marked with more building
at this time than 1t had last spring.
In the North Wildwood section of Five
Mile Beach there are at present five
operations in the way of new houses.
While these operations are small they
are no less a practical sign of some
thing doing at least. The largest oper-
alton is a double house being erected
by Contractor Garrison, at Eighth and
Surf for William Brookes, Of
Philadelphia. Mr.. Brooke's father, it
<might be recollected, was one of the
old time builders in Holly Beach.
This operation composes two plain cot
tages of commodious proportions and
embraces an expenditure of approxi-
mately s. 1000. The house on Seven
teenth street, near New York avenue,
built by Contractor Sharp is ready for
occupany, while two other small bung-
allows under contract with Builder
Garrison are in different stages of COM
pletiou in the New York avenue sec
ton. Contractor Garrison has several
other buildings pending in this section,
while Mr. Conner, of the Ottens hold
ings, has information that a client con-
sidering a large California bungalow
40 rooms along the North Wildwood
beach front. The Taylor bungalow on
the Ottens Canal extension has been
greatly improved during the winter
months by the work of Curtis Mathis,
of Second avenue. MI. Mathis has
built for MI. Taylor a circular bulk
head of ninety feet, filled in the front,
graded the yard, erected a fence with
an iron gate and last week put up a
handsome flag pole SO that the Taylor
bungalow is now easily the handsomest
property in the Ottens Canal section.
1t is understood that Mr.. Taylor is
immensely pleased with his property
and intends to put in all his spare time
there when possible. Other purchasers
who have joined the water front colony
on the Ottens Canal extension and
who have purchased lots with the pur-
pose of building bungalows thereon
are Archibald Coulter, Wyncote, Pa;
Jos B. Tresnan, Germantown, and Mr..
and Mrs. e. B. Lippincott, and Messrs.
Milton N. Brandt and Joseph Beck,
two well known Tioga carpenters. The
latter two gentlemen have plans ready
for two bungalows 20 x 80 feet, A
feature of these bungalows will be
porches 80 feet long along the south
side of each bungalow. Mr.. Brandt
stated that he had a carload of material
ready to ship to North Wildwood and
start work on his cottage just as soon
as his Philadelphia work slackened off
somewhat.
Friends of the South Jersey Fresh
Air Society, with headquarters in Cam
den, will be Pleased to hear that
the society enjoyed a splendid year in
the year now past. The total receipts
amounted TO $766. "a, while expendi-
lures amounted to $622.88 showing a
balance Of $144 So to start in on this
seasons good work. Two items which
swelled the fund Of the society consid-
erably was the card party given by the
cottage folks of North Wildwood at
the Ottens Hotel last summer which
Melted $l02 90 aud friends of Cooper's
Point, Camden, through an event
which they gave, raised $500. It is
also noted that the Society made their
first payment on the commodious
home, 18th and Delaware avenues,
where during the long summer days,
dozens of happy children are given
health and pleasure and kind atten-
ton by the folks interested in them.
The society is going to make an effort
to pay off the home this year and any
contributions to this most commend
able organization either in cash, pro-
visions or household furniture can be
attended to by getting in touch with
the president, A. R. Rossell, 80S State
street, Camden, Or Mrs. l.. Ida Dukes,
