The work of graveling the road
across the marsh to Broadkiln
Beach is progressing rapidly, and
the work of building a bridge across
the river from the mainland to the
beach proper will begin in a few
days. The bridge is to be 18O feet
long and about thirty feet wide and
is to be of wood construction. The
road will be continued to the bay
shore and a spur will be run back
of the bayside cottages. John Reed
who conducted a store on the river
side has moved the building to the
bayside, at the end of the new road.
Cottage owners are putting their
properties in condition for the open
ing of the season, about June first.
The building of the bridge and the
hard surfacing of the marsh road
will mean the rapid growth of this
popular summer resort. 1t is ex-
pected that many new cottages will
be erected during the next year or
two. It has been necessary for those
visiting the resort to leave their
cars on the marsh and walk across
a narrow foot bridge to get to the
shore. This has kept many away and
retarded the growth of Broadkiln
Beach.
