By Edward !. Farrell

The many new improvements @an-
nounced for Long Beach. among them
new million dollar automobile bridge
and new boardwalk hotel. have ere
ated much interest These and the
release Of time-worn restrictions have
paved the way for one Of the greatest
real estate movements in the history
OF Long Beach. With plans for two
new hotels on the Boardwalk. MANY
new business buildings, with more
than 300 recently completed new
homes, Long Beach is we'll on the
way to the boom that has long been
expected,
One of the most important improve
ments is the steel and concrete au-
tomobile bridge which crosses that
span of water between the island and
the mainland. The structure has cost

Visitors to Long Beach who travel
there by automobile viii appreciate

Long Beach is rapidly becoming an
all l-yearround residential place. More
private houses were OCCUPIED during
last winter than during any previous
winter season. The Nassau Hotel. Lido
Golf Club and Long Beach Yacht Club
also kept open all through the year.
Speaking of the development Of Long
Beach. former Senator William H
reynolds, it's founder, says:
"On the map of greater New York
and its suburbs are shown only three
beaches s-Coney Island, Rockaway and
Long Beach
1t can never have another. The
population of this great city can go
on doubling and doubling, but it's
beach front can not increase a single
foot. Within q radius of fifteen miles
from New York City there are over
100000 people who are bound in hot
for dip in the surf or to enjoy the
cool, refreshing breezes that blow in
from the ocean.
Long Beach belonged to the town
of Hampstead under an old grant given
IN 1854 by the Dutch Governor Keift.
Not foot of it could be bought or
sold at private sale. Austin Corbin
former president of the Long Island
Railroad, tried to buy it and syndicates
t rom Atlantic City and elsewhere were
interested in it because Of its wonder
ful location on the ocean front Finally,
IN 1907. the townspeople awoke to
the fact that so long as the beach re-
manned unimproved it yielded no rev
enue, and on a popular vote | sue
oeeded in obtaining the right to pur-
chase it from the town for develop
