Realty Developer Sees POtentialities
In Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, Etc.
Howard Edmonds, formerly presi-
dent of the Dixie Real Estate Com
pany, of Cambridge, Nd, and at pres
ent the president of the Milford Ro-
tary Club, expresses himself, as
realty man on an extensive scale for
many years, and a developer OF
many of the lower Delaware towns
through extensive ballyhoO sales
with brass bands and symbols, what
should be done to develop the coast
al line between Rehoboth Beach and
Fenwick Island, south Of Bethany
Beach. s54t- --
Speaking before the Georgetown
Rotary Club he expressed the opin-
ion, from the point of high-power-
ed realty man, that it could be de-
Veloped into an extensive amuse-
ment center which would only be
eaualled by Coney Island. He says
the project can, and will. be put
through. Mr.. Edmonds, a realty
man of outstanding prominence and
noted for large sales throughout the
Delmarva Peninsula, is asking all
Rotary Club presidents throughout
the State at a luncheon at Rehoboth
Beach in the near future at which
time plans will be discussed. 1t was
the organization of Mr.. Edmonds-
the Dixie Realty Company, of which
he was president, at the time-that
started an upward trend of many OF
the developments of lower Delaware
towns.
From the picture painted by Mr..
Edmonds it looks as if that within
a few years that the area between
Rehoboth Beach and Fenwick Island
may be one solid block of cottages
and possibly may become an amuse-
ment area. This, somewhat bears
ont the idea of WPA Administrator
BENJAMIN Ableman. This phase OF
WPA work may be taken up at the
meeting here next Tuesday. Mr..
Ableman has suggested that this
area be converted into a park, and
the suggestion, perhaps, came from
Mr.. EdmOnds.
