OCEAN BESORT CHAIN Link JwatVocgrd as Planned Many Years Ago An important link in the chain of railways connecting ocean resorts this end of our sute, was completed very short time ago and is now in ui const fueled and being ojierated by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This li^k reaches across Peck's Bay, Iwtwecn Homer's Point and Ocean Oily, the Utter being built upon w hat w as formerly known as Peck's Beach, the founder of the resort being Rev. Kara B. Lake, a member of the New Jersey M. E. Conference. It was early in the seventies that Mr. Lake unfolded to the w riter his plans for the founding of this reaort, and among his plan* was the construction of a railroad across the bay. to give the new resort, once it should Iwcome established, rail connection with the Camden and Atlantic Rail-

road.

One of Ihe llrsl steps taken by Mr. Lake w as to have soundings taken to determine Ihe feasibility of bridging the water* and the llgures giving the idlh and depth of the main channel, 1 obtained by survey, were given me by Mr. I.ake,-but I am not sure of being able to quote them correctly. Mr. I-ake lived to see his projected resort become a beautiful seaside city, and never lost faith in the llnai railway connection across the bay to Comer’s Point. Communication with the outside orld by w ay of the West Jereey through 8ea Isle City, and across Ihe meadows through Tuck shoe by way of the Cape May branch of the Reading, came before his death, but the other By Mr. Lake's pet railway schema or idea, delayed until July, 1907 for its completion and operation. HoroeUme Cape May City will reap leneileial results from this latest link of the chain. r.
