BOWERS BEACH

The prospect for this years devel-
opments at the resort grows brighter
and more certain every day and we all
feel elated that the time is not far in
the future when the old and long time
resort will be classed and numbered
with the more prominent resorts of
the county and second to none in the
state. The promoters have acquired
more property so as to give them a
wider scope for their operations, also
having bought the Beach Hotel and
its belongings. The owners that
bought it over a year ago, gives as
surance that the long felt want of
more accommodations for the enor-
nous amount of visitors there will he
ample accommodations for all that
come. The syndicate has already TAX
en- out charter for two million and
f1Ve hundred thousand dollars at Do
yer and their advance agent assures
the people that they will start opera
tlons as soon in March as weather
will permit, and that it will take four
years to complete their operations at
least.
