BOWERS BEACH

A<AA-AA&@e
The resort had very good shar
of visitors on Easter Sunday, if w
are permitted to base our estimation
on the number of cars that came t
the resort on that day and occasion
There was a constant passing o.
machines back and forth during the
day. Many of the cars bore Pennsyl
vania license tags, while many Phil.
adelphians were here, the greater part
from that state were from Chester, as
that city surely seems to be partial
to this place.
On Saturday quite number of men
that frequented this place last year
for the purpose of spending the time
while here in the bay hook and line
fishing, were under the impression
that the season for that sport was
opened and that they could have the
opportunity of trying their hands and
were here for that purpose, but were
disappointed in their calculations.
None of the boats that transport the
/ fishermen into the bay were in read
mess, hence the would be nimfodS
had to content themselves with fishing
from the wharves which they did and
were rewarded by some fine strings
of white cat fish that they took in with
hook and line.
The storm of Monday evening and
night and the sudden drop of tempera-
ture during the night has cast
gloom over the gruit growers, espec-
tally. They are dubious as to the out
come but the fact remains to be seen.
We can only hope for the hest.
The truckers had planted many of
their truck seed for an early crop and
most of the seeds had germentated
and were through the ground which
will all have to be gone over again.
Some farmers are skeptical as to the
result of their young clover and ev-
en- the wheat crop.
Great preparations for building
houses and summer cottages are in
progress at this time and before the
first of May the town proper aside
from the Bowers Beach corporation
will be augmented by the addition of
a number of new dwelling houses. !
Gilbert J. Saunders of FELTON, has the
material on the ground and the car
penters will start work on his house

ter is getting the building material
on the ground for another dwelling

ering his building material on his lot
where he expects to build himself a

be located on Hubbard avenue. A num-
Der more buildings will be built on .
his avenue by the time of the open
ing of the season. H. E. Caldwell is
