PLANS FREE TO BUILDERS

Giant dredges, working night
and day, resting only for Sun
days, have almost completed the
great task of pumping and
filling Section Three, West
Atlantic City. These dredges
have made record progress and
the work is finished four months
ahead of schedule. The Third
Section, West Atlantic City, is
one of the most notable of shore
city building operations and is
attracting wide attention be-
cause of the progress made at
this time. Water mains, curbs
and sidewalks are entirely COM
.pleted and all streets are turned
back over 100 feet. Benjamin
R. Fox, president of the develop
ment company, announces that
where payments on lots are com
pleted free plans will be fur
nished to builders of homes and
that home building will be
financed without financing costs
to them.

Judge White, of Marlborough
Blenheim Hotel, Would
Establish Low Rate
CAMPAIGN FOR
WINTER PATRONAGE
Room and Bath for Two Peo-
pie at From SIS to $50
Per Week American Plan

In calling upon hotelmen of
Atlantic City to establish new
schedule Of advertising for winter
season, Judge John J. White,
one of the owners of the Marl-
borough Blenheim, advocates a
oncentrated programme for Novem-
Der, December and January. He
would name rates sufficient to
cover cost of food stuffs. fuel and
service.
THE season creative idea is not
new to Atlantic City," said the
Judge. Thirty years ago when sac
was a six weeks summer resort,
her hoteimen upon the suggestion
of Senator Edge, started adyertis-
ing the Easter Week idea. It
took" He went on to cite other
advertising campaigns which
succeeded in extending business at
other seasons. 1t seems to me that
we may with profit now undertake
again the creation of another ac-
ditional season. We have gone
through the hysteria of after the
war initiation. speculation and
dizzy extravaganza, and it is about
time for Atlantic Guy to settle down
and again live up TO her old habit
Of giving more for the money than
her patrons can get elsewhere. So,
also, it behooves her to solve her
various problems. clear UP her
morning after headaches, and take
up any slack rope which is not
properly helping her to bear her
burdens.
"My suggestion win be that tho
hotelmen who contribute the COM
bination advertising fund, enter
upon a three-year campaign start
ing the first Of next month to
create this winter season by deyot-
ing substantial portion of this
fund to the months in question,
and by establishing and advertis'
ing hotel rates for those months
which do not include cent for
overhead, viz, taxes, interest, re-
pairs, department head salaries,
but only cover the cost of food
stifes, fuel and service. This would
result in a basic American plan
ra for a double room and bath
for two people of from SIS to sos
per week, and for single room and
bath from $40 to $50 per week;
with a daily American plan rate
for the same accommodations Of
s14 10 s17 for two, and of IS and
$Il for one. MY idea would be that
this be the basic American plan
rate for a double hotel might give
lower rates, ii ii 50 desired. !"

To Promote
Coast Fishing,
Sp0rtsmen Interested In Fish
ing Bank Off Atlantic
City-Plan Campaign

At a conference, called by the
fish and game conservation com
mittee of the Chamber of Com
merce, held in the Chalfonte hotel,
a committee was appointed to work
out definite program for the
creation of new laws and amend
ments to protect the fishing inter-
ests of Atlantic City and the inland
waters in the county. This includes
a permanent fishing bank off
Atlantic City.
Samuel p. Leeds, President.
Representatives attended the
meeting from the Chambers of
! Commerce of Ventnor, Margate,
! Longport and Brigantin@ Ventnor
Fishing club, Anglers club, Ocean
City; Ocean City Fishing club,
Pleasantviile Gun club, Lions,
Rotary, Kiwanis. Exchange, Civit-
ans and Optimists' clubs and the
Inland Yachtmen's association.
A resolution was also passed OPP
posing the closing of Brigantine
Inlet, in connection with the new
state boulevard, between Tuckerton
and this city along the ocean
front.
| Mr.. Leeds pledged his active sup
port in the campaign to protect
fish and game for sportsmen, and
! promised to enlist the support OF
all the clubs and civic organizations
interested along the Jersey coast.
The local committee comprises
Postmaster Alfred J Perkins, VIM.
A. Faunce, former member of the
state fish and game commission;
Walter Jarmon, Stanley Vansant,
It. Orville Crane, Willard Shaner,
Louis Leeds, Albert Kurtz, John
Winterbottom, Perry Fenton, VIM.
Endicott, Ferdinand Patzowsky, G.
c. Boyer, Willard Doughty and
Larner Leeds.
1t was the consensus of opinion
that the season for nets should be
changed from July to February,
inclusive, allowing fish to spawn
during tho months of May and
June. THIS, it was stated, would
greatly improve fishing in this
section. A number of fishermen,
however, insisted that several
closed seasons would be necessary
to bring the fish to the inland
waters.

Wide and ITO Feet Deep,
Facing The Albany Avenue

A. L. Brooks, weli-known Atlan-
tic City architect, who has designed
many homes for West Atlantic
City. is at work on plans for a
building to be devoted to the con-
struction and painting OF outdoor
art panels
The building will be for Frank
H. Fischer, now located at 6 North
Indiana avenue, Atlantic City. who
will remove to West Atlantic City.
It will be erected on lot 100 feet
wide by 10 feet deep facing the
Albany avenue boulevard near
Plaza place and the West Atlantic
City Casino.
The art studios will be of most
attractive type of construction and
fit in with the pleasing type OF
architecture now so generally
adopted for structures devoted to
commercial enterprises in West
Atlantic City.
The leadership style is now held
by the Mathis Motor Co. building,
the home of the Studebaker auto
mobiles, situated on Albany ave-
nue. boulevard near Toulon avenue.

NEW JERSEY ROADS

New Jersey wal spend between
sos, 100000 and $30,000,00O on new
road work next year, according to
Commissioner Firman NJ. Reeves
of the New Jersey State Highway
Commission. Most of the money VIII
be spent in connection with APP
,roaches to the Holland Vehicular
Tunnel between Jersey City and
Manhattan. Commissioner Reeves
pointed out that while roads can
be built in his home county OF
Cumberland for $4,000 to $4,000
a mile, some Of the roads in the
northern part Of the State cost as
high as S250.0o0 mile.

A building might be colored so
as to seem garish in one locality,
yet it might be beautiful if its
tones were softened by the denser
air of another. Nearly everyone
has observed how, at certain hours
of the day, at sunrise and sunset,
almost every building takes on a
peculiar golden tint. Nearly any
structure can be. beautiful momen-
tarily under such lighting. Blu,
through the greater part of the
day, the rays of the sun, entering
the earth's air envelope at differ
ent angle, and passing through
atmosphere of different temper
allure, have "a different spectral
composition.
The modern architect is learning
to obtain the effects he wishes,
under nearly all conditions, by
using the proper colors. Materials
such as polychrome terra GOTTA
make it possible for him to suit
his building to any set of conditions
and to emphasize whatever rays OF
sunlight he wishes.
Certainly the time is fast aP-
preaching when building materials
will no longer be chosen with DIS
regard for their properties of re-
Fleeing certain colors and absorb
ing others.
