INAUGURATES NEW ERA 1 IN OCEAN CITY * jj l Continued from pac^ag) ' ■ . make, no better choice couhl have l>eeii marie for tlic presiding officer. t * In addition his fluent pursuasive j speech, venial disposition, anil ready fund of humor created an atmosphere | of fellowship which was captivating. , The spirit of definite purpose which j characterized the assembly, manifested „ itself at the very ""tset. when ' the H tanstmaster invited the chairman of p • the Chamber of Commerce. E. M. Sutton to assume charge of the meeting, j, — It became 'evident we had met for a „ definite aim. and not merely for en- y tertainment I Mi. Sutton is. preemlently a man of j, business. He" must be doing things. ;l He has the mannerism of an executive, a general and the face of a'c| Napoleon. Although a fluent speaker f, with abundance of words at his com- w mantl, his crisp, short sentences, be- f tokeli the man of action; and immed-i lately under his influence things began tj tit take concrete form. , i< h or many years- Ocean City ha- fl I Ken talking' hotel. Discussing the ' possibilities of erecting n hotel, which ! w will be an architectural ornament to'", the city, and an econonic asset. The Chamber of Commerce last ti night laid the foundation^ when after ol hearing Mr. Kurnest A. Stall, a repre- fc sentative of the Hoekenbury System speak. Mr. Sutton npmed u commit- t). tea to further confer with Mr. Stall rj •j(*n the matter. j K, . The HflPkenhury System specilizes tn in the work of financing, or rather in ' organizing the resources of a com- 1 . munity for the purpose of financing . • the erectiou of hotels. Progress in every department of human anddnvOr, he said. depende<l upon thiee conditions. • Firstly, there must be a vision. There must be a vision of greater achievements and a feeling of disaat- ' isfartion with any thing less. The man who owns a small one-room store. . has vision of a large department store employing, a small army of assistants, ami commanding the patronage of the entire city. t Secondly, there must lie the power -J to analyse the vision, to weigh the possibilities, estimate the obstacles- .1 ni.il iliffisulliM In t hn nath the

Thirdly, there must be the courage , to carry the vision into effect. The!difference between the man who re- - ^ mains through life a small retailer* , and the "presiilent of a large corpora-' tion, is a matter of courage. The small 1 retailer may have the vision, and the , power to analyze, but lacks the courage to attempt the project and s# remains a small >trader all his days. There were, said Mr. Stoll." two f ways of financing a hotel. "The easiest!, way was to' wait until some man of' means came in and built orie. , The chances, however, of such a . thing happening were small. Men of : , money and enterprise did occasional! v ' . enter a Ifrge city, and erect a hotel, but seldom if ever would they consider r a city, of the dimensions of • Ocean City. I The other method, and by all means the better, was for the people of the , v city to finance the project themselves. K In other words moke it a communal*,, project. Jl Retain nwwBniin^t^sUlP general pub- - f lie for the financial support there should lie three arguments presented. • Fir.-tlv. that there is a civic need , for the proposed hotel. The public , must tie convinced of the need in un- « mistakable terms. Secondly, the public must be con- i, vinced the project will |>e a profitable (, investment? Thirdly, in promoting the project it „ was necessary to lie assured the con- L stituency has within it the resources „ necessary for the undertaking. Tn _ other words it must be proved there is sufficient money available, and suf- n ficient in numbers of red-blooded men, .: prepared to back the project, devot- B '"K Imth time hnd means to that end. The firm Mr. Stoll represents, spe- (, rializes in the work of-helping a con- s stituency to discover the extent of its c available resources. They make a thorough investigation, and determine r the extent of the undertaking the city h could venture. And very -trongljf^e emphasized p the point that no jPfmsition of a h community nature can succeed, unless the puhljc are convinced every- 1 a

khing is honest and honorable, above ; Board, and aH cards face up on -the table. . • The speaker cited many instance. - ' of their successful campaigning in other communities. The City of Bridgeton started out to raise $300,000 in common stock, and tncreoded in accumulating $31S,000, divided among 1,050 subscribers. Similar results followed in Effing-, HI- ipsolante, Mich.. Frederick. Maryland, and Syracuse, Every subscriber became a Imostei . Ptiblic sentiment roust l-e educated v> the neeil of a hotel.

Slocum, W. K. MaSsey. Ralph Chester. Harry Hemllei . Riissell H. Nulty/Hiram S. Mow n r. J. R. Grove.-. and John J. Foster. Acting under fhstnicuoniRffrom the chair, the committee went into conference with Mr. Stall, w report of I which will be maile public at the proptime and place. Whereupon Mr. Edwards resumeil chair, ami introduced n startling which seemed to grip the audiand win universal approval. In our efforts to make Ocean City what it "should and could lie." he said, "why not make it the great center of out-door athletics." And immediate! v reusability of the idea dawned upthe company as perhaps never beAs Mr. Edwards astutely point ed out, it would do more than anyelse conceivable, to boost the for in all papers and magazines, greater publicity and wider was given sport than commerce or politics. i Ocean City could lie made the seat of all outdoor championships. The ' facilities are here. We might with 1 little expense build twiyiiy tennis ' courts and a special tournument court. ' Ocean City could commund the ten- J nia champions of the world. Swimming contests could be arranged, for ' we have a thousand feet lagoon with ' a sand bottom, without spending a cent. Ten thousand spectators could ' accommodated to yiew the events. < An athletic field with a cir>der track 1 and a casting -field are at hflnd. 1 Ocean City could become the great r athletic resort af all America. It is > to he hoped the Chamber of Com- = mcrce will sponsor this idea as it did other projects. other projects.

The next speaker of the evening wa- , Campbell Scott, vice president of the Technical Advisory Corporation, New- ; York. The subject of Mr. Scott's ad- , dress was city-planning, with special '- reference to zoning. It -transpired that the Ocean City Boanl, have long been considering tha advisability of diviijing the city into separate zones. As at present situated, no person /building for ; himself a residence, ha.-A. any protec- ■ tion and guarantee .that hjs property will not he intruded upon by- some inand undesirable structure, to the extent that in a night as it were i property will deteriorate a full in value. It was at the invitation of the Realty Board. Mr. Scott attended the hanquet. It became evident at once the speaker was an expert in «>«• science of citv. ln>ll-Ua«r-^His exposition/Of the various law- affecting ^hwiMing construction, and the building ofjaties, was exhaustive anil illuminatThe principle of zoning was lie- ' coming rapidly accepted as the only reliable plan in city building. The City of New York was the first 1 experiment in zoning. Driven in the interests- of self preservation, against the intrusion of sweating ' shops, apartment houses ami undesirable tenements, into the residental and business sections of the city, the authorities applied tn the legislature for to control and determine, what kind and nature of building, and for Wlh»t purpose, should lie erected in anyparticular quarter. He cited as a concrete example, the necessity of such powers in the rapid of Fifth avenue, through such undersirable intrusions. After six years of patient zoning. York was complete master of the situation, and evolving order out of As ¥ar as the speaker had seen Ocean City was singularly free from buildings. Nevertheless, there are ugly spots, and in order to prevent the ugliness from spreading strongly advocated zoning the city. Following Mi. Scott's instructive address. Clayton Haines Brick, presi-
