Announcements have been made is week to the effect that ForI'Ue. which has for many years

ous in the Eastern part ountry. is to receive a h as has seldom been

the lot of any similar resort. It is reported, on what eeenui to he good authority that a body of men known as the Huntermark Hotel Corporation, have puich'ised both the Huntermark and the Garrison properties, the two oldest, largest, and most resort. Both are large concerns owning stores, restaurants, hotels land the resort's two Ashing piers ( and dancing pavilions and in addition the Garrisons hrve conducted a large garage as well aa

an Ire plant.

It is also said t.:iat In Ihe neighborhood of 450 acres of land has been purchased by the corporation which will he laid out in street* and lots with cement curbs and sidewalks. A J250.000 hotel will be Punt on the idle which the Huntermark plan now occupies, which will bn fireproof and modern in every respect and will have, when compleaie.l 150 rooms. All kinds of rumors are afloat as to bhe magnitude of the development. but many of them irte without doubt possibilities for the future, w hether are not many of these reported improvements and developments will take place at once has not been confirmed. The board of directors of the hotel and development company is said to include Firman M. Reeves. State H.gbway Commissioner, a resident of Millville; Nelson P. Hickman, a busineoa man of Port Norris and Bivalve; Jonathan Kirrhoff. Jr., owner of the Bridgeton to Port Norris bus line, a resident of Bridgeton: Sherry Wallare. a mem tier of the Arm of WaliaM. Tozour & Walls, road builiiiag contractors •1 Millville: S.II rogue Vernon Marshall, of Vineland, and Mr. Harry H. Goodman, ul Philadel-

phia.

These men compose those who will direct the improvements and will, if plans as announced are carried out. revolutionize the life of the Ashing center. Fortescue has tor many ytwrs been fhe center of attraction to lovers of deep water Ashing and n,KU early in the spring until late In the tall large partim have gone out from here to enjoy the -port on the scores of Ashing boats making their harbor.
