BIG HOTEL SEEN
FOR REHOBOTH
May Rise ON Site of Famous
"Belhaven Hotel at the
Boardwalk
MODERN STRUCTURE

Belhaven Hotel, on the most
popular spot on the Rehoboth
Boardwalk, is to be transformed
into a modern and attractive hos
telry, if there is no hitch in the
plans OF those who are seeking re
organization for the Belhaven Ho-
tel Corporation, says the Sunday
Star. "Rehoboth is now and always
has been pre- -eminently a cottage
community. Hundreds of families
from all over the State, especially
Wilmington, from Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington and Pitts
Durgh occupy their own cottages
for the summer. Others lease cot
tages for terms ranging from a
week to the season. Naturally,
however, as in every seashore re
sort, there is need for hotel accom-
mediation. For more than a gen
GRAFTON the old Belhaven, right at
the ocean front of Rehoboth av-
enue, main entrance to the town,
was the favorite stopping place of
visitors who had no cottages. It's
spacious porches were the resort
Of its guests, mostly women, and
here their friends from all over the
State, could count on meeting
them, and its dining-room won the
patronage even of many cottagers.
The Boardwalk in front of the
hotel is the favorite meeting place
for men visitors and here, especial
ly on Sunday nights it is frequent
ly possible to see every important
office holder and politician in the
State. For some years the Bel
haven was operated by Mrs. Bar
nett, but about three years ago it
was bought in by the Farmers
Bank of Georgetown. The bank
tried to run it for two seasons but
something seemed to be lacking, so
when the Belhaven Hotel Corpora
ton was formed the bank proposed
to sell for $4,000, retaining a
mortgage of S24, 900. The Hotel
Corporation issued stock, of which
about 1000 shares are outstanding.
The enterprise fell on evil times,
however, and recently there has
been much speculation as to what
the outcome would be. Recently
Caleb R. Layton, 3rd, was appoint
ed temporary trustee of the prop
erty by Judge Nields in the United
States District Court for Della
ware, and on September 8 a per-
manent trustee will be named to
permit reorganization under sec
tion 77B of the National Bank
ruptcy Act. If the reorganization
shall be authorized a plan has been
worked out to satisfy creditors, to
salvage some of the investment of
stockholders, and to improve the
town by the erection of a modern,
moderate price hotel, which it is
believed, will meet with success.
