BOWERS BEACH

A%a48@ee
The manager of the Beach COrpor-
alton is working a force of men in
order to be ready for the opening of
the season for his amusements.
People are seeking houses and sum-
mer cottages for the entire season.
Many want houses for permanent
residences than ever before--but they
are not to be had. The demand is
much greater than the supply. A
number are building themselves
houses and bungalows. Many have Sc
cured sites for the purpose to erect
buildings thereon in the fall. They say
that the scarcity of carpenters and
the inconvenience of getting build
ing materials in time to build for the
summer makes it necessary to defer
building until later in the season.
Wilbur B. Layton has a force Of
men at work on his bungalow on
Hubbard avenue at the present time.
A number more of cottages have been
built on this avenue this year. Saun-
ders and Melvin, of FELTON,, are COM
pleting the largest and most up-tO-
date building on Hubbard avenue that
this resort or town has. Their pur-
pose is to open a first class cafe,
where patrons will be accommodated
at all hours.
The weekend brings hundreds to
the resort, the majority being sports
men for the purpose of enjoying the
hook and line fishing. Some Of the
trout caught weighing eight pounds
and it is not an uncommon thing to
in, oil oh from <
to pounds.
The boats used for taking parties
out to the fishing grounds increase
each week and at the present time
there are over fifty of them.

pleted his garage, located on Main
street, where he will be in position to
take care of large number of cars
beside furnishing them with the
