F&Wft m EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1919 , 'Atlantic City Plans Gi'eat Development Continued from rrrcrdlni Fate be the meeting place and stunt- I" demonstration stusc this month for the ff Xntlonal Association of Masters of Dancing, There also will he staged the ?SoO,00() exhibit of the Master Plum bers' Association of the United States, In connection with their post-bellum convention. The headquarters of the latter will be nt the Hotel St, Charles, Y..1ll..l. t nvimiitiiiiiiliiii ,-4 M ,1 nt" f 1 1 1 Klin of prosperity under the management of U William A. Leech. Atlantic City lias reached the stage If where it complacently asserts that nobody cares whether the nation goes ftury uu .niiy i or not. ji uic cuics ring i 'down the curtatii on alcoholic refresh- ments they will ring it up nphin with the same orchestra and the same dance floors and possibly more wholesome beverages of n non-alcoholic order to ' provide inspiration. I'or every dyed-ln-the-wool optimist who maintains that something is bound to hnppcn to nvert a great thirst for beers nnd light wines nt least, there arc n dozen others I who maintain that John Itarleycorn is n back number; and to prove they mean It many of them arc going ahead sot it. ting up soft-drink emporiums with f Iiiusu carpet, .diu mirrors itim even "4 "bars" to make everybody feel thor oughly nt home. Old Bowery Almost Gone Summer folk will find the greater Sart of the old "llowcry" district gone, lore than n Ktinni'p nf the undent structures which miide that region n night mnre have been razed nnd cleared for the erection of new hotels, npart ment houses and homes when capital rushes in to find opportunities " for BUre-thing investments. To provide for the multitudes who come to nvnil themselves of the famed hospitality of its hotels is not Atlantic City's only housing problem this suni , mer. Equally difficult of solution is the problem of taking care of those who waut cottages or, if they cannot get them, then npnrtments. Even nt rent als 20 nnd even 50 per cent higher than customary this has become a real prob lem, for the cottage supply is virtually exhausted and curious devices nrc being resorted to to meet the famine in apart ments. One of the most common is to take n .good-sized apartment nnd turn it into two by the simple process of locking a " door. Philadelphia's greater housing problem is working to Atlantic City's ndvnntnge again, for scores of house holders here have been ennbled to sell .attractive domicile;) to. advantage, yet at prices which make it profitable for the Philadelphia investors to bring their familiar to the shore and pay commu tation rates daily to their city offices. More Houses Going Up Large housing operations nrc In progress at Chelsea Heights, hardby the shore airport which the -Pan-American Aeronautical Congress, In session here during May, made famous throughout the country. Nobody is prepared as yet to say these new dom iciles will be taken over by amateur aviators, but if Philadelphia business men should go in for the Hying game it will bo mighty Iinndy to hnvn hang ars right across the street in the air Cort to house their aerial steeds after a op over Jersey from the city of Penn. A splendid boulevard extending along the Inlet front from the head of Pacific avenue nround the municipal park is one of the large projects upon which Atlantic City's wideawake Chamber of Commerce has embarked. This boulevard is the idea of Hubert Homers, a young business man with IarRu interests, and shore boosters are rallying to its support, because they are convinced that, in addition to en hancing the attractions of the resort, It will pay for itself speedily in in- 5 creased real estate values throughout the whole of the Inlet section. ' That part of the city is destined to boom greatly with the working out of the now definitely determined upon ship terminal for both ocean commerce nnd ui-iKms 01 various sores, cnieny oysters i and farm products, brought hither bv the inland waterway. Fish of a valua tion of more than .$141,000 were brought into Atlantic City's harbor in May alone, according to the report of Cap tain George 15. Cale, newly appointed harbor master, a Chamber of Commerce , booster and "admiral" of the Inlet yachting fleet. To Popularize Fishing Atlantic City is to make a mighty 'effort this summer to' further popularize fishing and sufling ns attractions as necessary to the rounding out of a shore PUHlHI'llUWHWlWlMWiIHimHIUI HIWWIM Wf Jtf ,sf t A )fe F s V" ' JHvTvrBjMhbf THE CANADIAN ROCKIES Tncation as bathing and Boardwalk sightseeing. Atlantic City possesses n fleet of more than one hundred staunch, splendidly appointed, skillfully navi gated yachts. In the bays back of Ab secon Island It has hunting grounds for those who prefer crabbing and in side fishing to a run out to the arti ficial fishing "bank" six miles nt sea, where Uic big fellows always arc lurk ing. Ship terminal plans. Recording to City Commissioner Thompson, who is n hotclman nnd also bank president, con template linking the sea directly with the trunk lines nf the country via Phila delphia. It will be possible to load tish by wholesale directly from hulls nt the docks to cars upqn sidings there for shipment anywhere in America via the Pennsylvania's Delaware river bridge ( route, and this convenient nrrangenicnt is designed with n view to making At lantic City the most Important coast shipping point on the Jersey seaboard. Thsite of the ship basin, for which contracts shortly are to be let. was ac quired from Dr. Charles Penrose, a brother of the Pennsylvania senator, for 540,000. It will be 400 feet wide and nearly twice as long, with a water depth of twenty feet. The Inlet channel car ries fourteen feet at low water. A great Doom mm rupiu uociuimiriiL of the down-tlic-beacn section; nil me wny from lower Chelsea to I.ongport, is being predicted in consequence of the shortage of the housing facilities and the steadily growing congestion of At lantic City's business section. One of the sins of the times is the transforma tion of good-sized dwelling houses into improvised apartments. A three- story hotel on one of the uptown streets has been turned into an "apartment" also, the new owner having made over the large dining room into a close relation of a community kitchen, with a designated trectiou where each housewife with an apartment may do her cooking apart from the living quarters. Plumber Had Idea Another way of "striking gold" at the shore was discovered by nn enter prising owner of n hotel on Michigan nvenue, who Is n plumber when he is not playing bonlfnce. During the plumbers' strike last winter, when he had plenty of spare time, this handy-mnn-pliimbcr-boulfnce turned tho space occupied by what, had been the kitchen and dining hall of his hotel into sleeping apartments. Then he proceeded to ndd a batli to every sleeping room In the building and to refurnish the whole with brass lelstiiiil nnd attractive i fittings. I When the big ltoardwnlk hotels near I at hand run short of private baths, and that happens almost nil the time, per sons accustomed to hnvlng ocean-front I suites are glad to know they can get a nice little "room ami bath" In the piumuermnu s modernized hostelry.
