WILDWOOD CREST

Co., through Robert Hammond, re-
ports they are closing up Turtle Gut
Inlet, by running a series of dikes ex-
tending a thousand feet from the
southern end of the board walk. At
present they are engaged in making
sand breaks which are placed about
twenty feet east of the boardwalk and
running three thousand feet south from
q point opposite the Hotel Breakers.
The dikes viii be the means of reclaim
ing much valuable land at this point of
the island which 1t is presumed will be
filled In with sand In the near future.
MIR. Hammond also has a number OF
teams and men at work cleaning the
sand of the boardwalk and putting
same in better shape, also improving
the conditions of Atlantic avenue at
this point, as a number of cottages are
to be built this fall and winter ready for
use by June 1st. The company has
nearly completed a very neat aud spec
tally built cottage for William r. Brick
err, OF Philadelphia, at the corner OF
Atlantic and Stenton avenues, and are
certain they will build cottages for Mr..
Hirshey, Of Philadelphia, at Atlantic
and Orchid avenues; Mrs. Samuel
Saulter, of Philadelphia, on Stockton
road, and Mr.. Taylor, Of Roxboro, on
Orchid road, and are contracting for
several others. Mr.. Hammond is
very much encouraged with the BUSH
ness prospects at this end of the island
and thinks next season will develop
even greater results, as people are be-
ginning to invest more freely.
