Big Development of
Land on Deep Creek
Lake Is In Prospect
Eight Hundred Acres, Involving
Six Tracts, Purchased by
Group of Men

The prospect of a huge real estate
development along Deep Greek Lake
became a reality this week with the
decision of four men and possibly
more to purchase about 800 acres of
land from the Eastern Land Corpo-
ration.
Six tracts are involved which COM
prise all the land which the Eastern
Land corporation had retained north
of Glendale bridge, and gives the
purchasers eight miles of shoreline.
Purchasers will include R. D.
Houck, Emroy Bolden, Ronald Nc
Intire, Oakland; and Carl White,
Uniontown, Pa. Others may join in
the purchase, it is reported.
The tracts include large strip
across the lake from Railey's, both
along the McHenry inlet and the
main body below the main bridge;
one across the lake from McComas
Beach; The Roy place, across Red

same side of the lake; strip along
the highway leading to Rock Lodge,
on the Cherry Run inlet; two-mile
stretch Of undeveloped land across
the lake from Cabin Lodge, between
Meadow Mountain and Cherry Greek
inlets; and east of Glendale bridge,
along Meadow Mountain inlet.
The probabilities are that these
tracts will be cleared Of underbrush,
marked off in lots and offered for
sale.
Lots Sold Saturday
Twenty or more lots were sold last
Saturday along the Glendale road by
E. r. and Getty Thayer, at public
auction. The sale was hampered by
heavy rain which scattered the large
crowd that had gathered The lots
brought around 500 each. One free
lot was given away, Mrs. Morgan
from a city in Pennsylvania, being
the recipient.
All of the cottages around the
Lake have been full this summer and
lake sites are said to be at a premium.
