sure the music committee an audi
torium for the municipal orchestra
concerts the coming summer. The
cost of the building. as suggested by

WORK GETS UNDER WAY.
The first piling on the new board
walk being constructed in the Sec
ond ward, from Cedar to Montgom-
cry avenues, along Beach avenue.
was driven this past week, and an
enthusiastic gathering witnessed the
spectacle. The scene OF the demon
stration was at the foot of Mont

shows the intention of the contrac-
tors to begin the building work at
the lower end and work northward.
Mr.. Woolson. of Ober and woolson.
states that his firm expects to have
the new boardwalk completed and
open for traffic by July 4. The

an increased number Of orders for
bungalows, cottages and apart

more building activity than any

the past week. expressed surprise at
the building activity in this resort.

at the corner of Oak and Pacific
avenues. adjoining the Marine Ma

cation makes 1t readily identified.
