I Additional Contracts For I Construction of Flanders ' Hotel Have Been Awarded OCEAN FRONT HOTEL WILL IIE COMPLETED AND READY FOR OPENING EARLY PART OF COMING SEASON. STEEL FRAMEWORK NOW MOUNTING UPWARDS

Three additional contracts, for, the construction of the Flanders ' Hotel, were awarded nt a recent meeting of the directorate. The contract for the installation of the heating system was awarded to John Cooney Company, of Harris, N. J. The selected system will be in perfect keeping with all other features in the construe-' tion of Ocean City's community enterprise; in other words it will ' bo one of the most modern type, ami one which lias proved efficient under the most exacting and critical tests. The exact figures were not ilis- , rlosed, but it is said the contracts , involves an expenditure, of ap- | proximately J81.000.00. The plumbing contract has also been awarded the successful competitors, in this instance being the,! George K. Gibson Company. Park Avenue, New York City, for a sum ' approximating *31, 000.00. The work of installing the lighting system of the Hotel Flanders, the wiring and supplying of fixlures, was entrusted to the Guarantee Electric Company of Atlantic City. '' lie City.

Obviously the directors devoted close attention to this particular feature of the Hotel. Good articial illumination, is a matter of paramount importance, in the Miuipmciit of u hotel, even more han in that of a business estab- 1 Isbinent. The statement is made hat the fixtures selected, will lie 'or artistic effect and practical itility. unsurpassed by those of my other hotel on the coast. The Ixturcs of each separate room will «• in perfect keeping with the eheme of internal decoration. The contract price is said to exceeil $18,500.00. The steel framework of the ' itfurture mounts higher day after lay, and as tier after tier is" placed in position, enthusiasm in the : ' iroject is obviosuly increasing. -|| Even the uninitiated are beginning to realize the magnitude of the umlertaking now, and the I crowds of spectators lining the ' Hoard walk on a fair day, watch- -i ing wifli keen interest the mater- ! ialization of a long cherished ; i dream, grow daily more numerous. ' i The steel work of the third story 1 Bears completion; already nearly « four hundred tons of steel hux-c r been delix-crcd upon the ground, | < the major portion of which is in t place.

Koydhousc and Ayrcs of • I'liial.lelphia, iiivnlx-ing.au exper.C diture of over half u million. The work on imcksley Hall, ■ which will be used for the housing 1 of the hotel staff, is practically - completed. Messrs. Porter Smith j Company, of Ocean City are en- • gaged in laying the concrete floor, ' while the carpentry work has also • awarded to a local firm, Ed- ' ward Senior of Ocean Avenue. 1 In view therefore of 'the pro- , ) grss already made, and of the fact . that the directors have made an' preparations for any contingency j , I which may arise, there appears to !' be no ground to fear the Flanders , X. ill not be in readiness for the official opening, by the time originally specified. In fuH anticipation of this, the directors have already began their ,1 advertising campaign. Conse-

qucntly to all indications, wheu l_ the hotel will he ready to receive ,f its first patrons, a sufficient numc bcr will lie wailing to enter, to - occupy all accommodation avail- . . al-Jr-p The Flamlers will not by any e means, lie the largest Ocean Front I Hotel on the coast; not withstand f ing it will he one of the best. What p it may lack in size, it will more I I than compensate in the quality of 5 r j its appointments. r Under the management and per- •' 1 s' nnl supervision of J. Howard Slocum, the Flanders will meet the I t demands of the most fastidious " r patron. What Mr. Slocum does 1 - not know experimentally, concern- v i ing hotel management, very few I men in the country can teach him. a - He comes into office, with the adf vantage of a wide and varied ex- . c ; |«rience, in some of the largest ( » and most aristocratic of hotels in --the country. n Superbly built and furnished, T I therefore, ami conducted as Mr. v .

Large Appropriations Made For Advertising and For Promoting Out-door Sports £ TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS MADE FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF VISITORS HAVING INDUCED THEM TO COME HERE AMOUNTS IN THE AGGREGATE TO $41,500.00

The long anticipated Tax Budgjet, and Table of Appropriations ll'« year 1923, has made its appearance. Mufh speculation has .eral attitude' of the' City ofmlTdssioncrs upon various matters, what I - would be their proluihle appropriI'tion towards this, and towards that, department of municipal life land administration. The Board of Commissioners , , kept their own counsel. They i ' promised nothing, but maintained i , their silence until they had definitely decided upon their policy, I , | and had thereby made their ap-., -Iportionments accordingly. ij '] In a statement, Mayor Joseph • , ■ G. Champion has volusfceered to"; make known the policy, which!, guided the Commissioners in their < ' deliberations. t » ocnoeraiions.

" In the apportionments for the 1 1 year 1923, he stated, prox-isions ' j have Iieen made to keep Ocean ( I City abreast of the progress it has - made during tlie past few years, and particularly during the' year - 1922. Apropos of the matter of City ; advertising, two considerations borne in mind. It is not sufficient to induce people to cofne " to Ocean City; but ample enter- • tainment and recreation must be • provided for them while in the 'city. If fifty thousand people were al- | by extensive advertising, to us a visit during the coming , season, and no provision had been made for their amusement, commensurate to their number. ' the ! visit would lie very brief and the , In other words before adx-crtis-ing we must have something to ad- ! vertiae. The advertising appropriation ' for the year 1922, was $6, 600.00. 1 For- the coming year this has been " to *12,000.00. . On the ether hand, prox-ision is ' made for the entertainment of x-is- 1 ■ (tors, nnd also for that of porraan- I ;-nt residents, who are interested > in outdoor athletics, with an apnropriatlon of $25,000.60 for the r Tennis Courts and an Athletic » Field. f The Athletic Field will provide , all- kinds of out-door sports, e and can be used for the staging of l I any form of athletic event, includ-y

•- ing those of the Fublic Schools, s under proper supervision, s Furthermore, in connection both s xvith the question of advertising, - and the entertainment of visitors. - there has Iieen appropriated a sum t of money as heretofore for music. lihe appropriation for music I ,l,V,is >',ear "mounts to *7,500.00. B rhuR it will be seen, that the total appropriations made, both for ad- » vcrtising the city, and for the en- ■ tertainment of ito patrons, amount '.to $44^00.00. " In the judgment of the Com- > missioners, the problems of nd"ivertising and entertainment are identical, or nt all events, compli'jnientary parts of one project. It 'lis of little x-aluc to advertise with[j out .something to sell. In adverI a resort, as an ideal place spend a vacation, mention w spemi a varauon, mention

1 should be made of its recreational ls facilities, in other words what it I n has to offer the vaeaUonist in the ss way of amusement; and no resort ' • can afford to adveWke recreation•r el advantages, before it possesses . them. 1 In addition, prox-ision is made' • in the new budget for new pavil- • ions at a cost of *4,000, and for the furnishing of more and bot- " tcr lights In South Ocean City, ' and in other parts of the munici- 1 c pality. i As might have been anticipated ' ' by any person who has gix-en the ' matter thought, the growth and [ expansion Ocean City has made it " imperative for increased appropri-<i< " ations in practically every depart-'" ment, if the municipality is to maintain its standard of efficiency. " The departments of the Police u . and Life Guards, hax-e entailed an ^ increase of |1 1,000.00. An in- " , crease of over *9,000.00 has been " appropriated for the collection of , garliage and trash. a The appropriation for xvater is ^ i in excess of last year's budget, while that of the Fire De- . partment, exceeds that of la*t _ I by *6,000.00. ^ This year an Imperative need forlp ' repairing the Fire Alarm Svstem, ' most vital public utility, calls .,i for an appropriation of *4,006.00. nNotwithstanding, we are inform- hi I ed that tho tax rate for the year w ' 1923 will be less than that nf" the m l-year 1922.
