A cottage owner from Bristol
writes: Il think we must have re-
ceived twenty or more letters in re-
ply to our advertisement of a cottage
to rent at Long Point. Many of them
wanted cottage for two months. We
had applications from New York City
more from there than from any
other one place. Others were from
New Jersey, Washington, D. C.,B rock
lyn and other points in New York.
The season AT Long Point has
been very good one, cottages in great
demand"
Other resorts reporting season bet
ter than the average are South Hero,
Highgate Springs, Cedar Beach, Bur
lington, St. Johnsbury, Stowe and Mid
dlebury. Only in two instances was
the season reported not so good as in
1920, Several hotel Keepers and camp
owners, however, have written that the |
summer was characterized by large |
number of cancellations and have |
wished that some means might be de- |
vised for protection against persons |
rooms or cottages, who when |
the time came did not make an appear
