bCr of Sewer Improvements.

According to the Real Estate Board

Town of Rye, Westminster
County, Paid for Land
$295,OO0.
+ POPULAR PLACE
IN THE SUMMER
On Nearby Sites Many High
Class Homes Have Been
Erected.
By HERBERT E. ANGEL.
Secretary Westchester County Chamber
of Commerce.

The town of Rye, Westchester Coun-
", n. Y, owns and maintains in splen-
did condition a thirty-seven-acre PARK
on the shore Of Long Island Sound. ms
town. which contains the villages OIL
Port Chester, Rye and part OF Mamaro-
neck has a population OF about @E,OOO,
an assessed value Of over 100000
and an area of a little over Twelve
square miles.
Until 1903 this park was part OF an
extensive farm. Along the Waterfront
several natural sandy beaches attracted
picnic parties and for many years there
had been ramshackle wooden bath
house pavilions at points along the
shore. About twenty-five years ago
two or three crude houses were built
in the fields back of the beach and oc-
cupied as summer camps, forming the
nucleus for colony of bungalows
which. at the time the town purchased
the land. numbered well over one nun
dred The principal attraction OF the
Mace was Oakland Beach, one OF the
fnest natural sand beaches on the
coast. II was through the rumor that
the land now occupied by the town
nark might be sold for another "Coney
island" that the property owners De-
came aroused to the necessity OF pro-
tecting their interests from this ne"
encroachment. -,
a group Of citizens agitated a plan
10 have the County of Westchester pur-
chase this land for PUBLIC PARK, out
this the County Board OF SUPERVISOR
did not consent 70 do. the matter was
then put up TO the town
II seemed a pretty big burden TOT the
tou,n 10 assume. as the land was valued
$500 a., en- nm an nd
having secured il much money Woulu
have TO be spent in improvements.
After much consideration, IT was IL
noIlv decided that the town should pur-
chase the property az price oil $50
600 the money for purchase and I'M
nrovsment TO be raised by bond issue
running for fifty years. This plan was
carried ont. The interest on these
bonds. amounting TO about SlhOUO' IS
Included in the budget The first pay
ment on the bonds comes due IN 1919
and will be part of that years budget
Having secured the land, II became
necessary to secure the removal OF the
old buildings. Many OF these were de-
stroyed, while others found new Ioca-
tions in adjacent properties. Inc wa
terfront and beach, however, were Sc
cured for the use of the public and pro-
tccted from becoming an
amusement resort
The town proceeded TO spehd soouI
S475.OOO on the improvement of the
property, twenty-seven acres being up
land and about ten acres below tide
line. Old stone walls were removed
and a new one laid along the boundary
line: sea wall was erected; me
grounds graded, seeded and planted; a
low spot was converted into lake;
maths were built, and last, but not least,
: q very attractive bathing pavilion and
casino was erected Immediately adJoin-
ing Oakland Beach.
The cost Of these improvements was
nroyided in the bond issue. The bath

houses and restaurant concessions are
Sold being at present under a three
year contract, netting the town $4,000
annually. This covers all maintenance
costs of the entire park. No bar privi-
lege is allowed. The town provides a
superintendent to Gaze for the grounds,
laborers to help him and special pO-
licemen. The holder of the bathing
concession is under agreement TO pro-
vide life savers on the beach.
The Rye town park is without doubt
the most popular public resort in
Westchester County. Ii can be reached
from every section by trolley, and
steamboat lines connect with Mamaro-
neck and New Rochelle. as well as Sea
Cliff, Long Island 1t is very popular
with autoists. several hundred cars Of
ten being collected there on a Saturday
or Sunday afternoon, finding ample ac-
commodation in the parking space pro-
vided for them.
As a result of the creation of this
park, the character OF the immediate
surroundings has undergone a great
change for the better Facing and over
looking it, many high class homes have
been built, and, indeed. it would be diff
fcult to find a more delightful place TO
live, for the park, even after so short a
time, is remarkably beautiful, and as it
attracts a quiet crowd is not in the
least Objectionable to adjoining resi-
Dental property. Overlooking it one
sees a wide expanse of the beautiful
Long Island Sound, here about eight
miles in width, the scene of many yacht
races and regattas.
Among the active Developments in
this section are Oakland Gardens, Rye
gate. Oakland Beach Park and Ryan
Park, where there have been many lots
and plots sold during the last three
wears for the erection of summer bun
ealos and all-year residences.
