First Big Auction Sale of Manhattan
Beach Property Attracting Much Interes

Aside from the fact that the coming

haitian Beach Estates having been sold
to people who have built costly homes
or who plan to do 80 before long.
Since the removal OF tho old Manhat-
tan Beach Hotel ten years ago Man
haitian Beach has undergone consider
able changes. In that lapse Of time all
signs and reminders OF the former Man
haitian Beach have been removed md
In their places have been built 1850 homes
and bungalows. buildings many OF
which are models OF fine architecture. II
Is estimated that more than $1,000, 900
has been spent in the construction OF
these dwellings.
The Manhattan Beach Realty Com
pan has encouraged the spending Of
large money on homes by the example
1t set In spending sl,5OO,00o In the

must be remembered that when the de-
volopment OF Manhattan Beach as a
home settlement WAS started II was no
different from the average seashore
place when one got or the well kept
street leading up to the old Manhattan
and the Oriental hotel.
Manhattan Beach was nothing more
than sand dunes dotted with nimsy
structures housing such amusement fea-
lures AZ are TO be found at the sea-
shore In summer. 1t was practically the
same as when the marine railway was
built over to the beach from Pine Freeze
on the other side OF Sheepshead Bay In
1877. That was tho start Of Man
haitian Beach as an amusement centre.
From then on It continued TO develop
along such lines, Every year improve
ment was made In tho character OF the
place. THIS development covered "A
period Of thirty years.
The interests behind Manhattan Reach
about 1907 began to realize that there
was not enough seashore near New York
to allow the continuation OF Manhattan
Beach as an ordinary amusement place.
These men were right. Manhattan
Beach was not utilized az II should he.
The scheme to clear away the amuse-
ment features and develop the property
