SEA ISLE CITY, Ludlam Island, \, J. ENGIN^iJH'S REPORT. 8ea Isle CUy U located on the Allan* IscOooan, on f^udlam Island, on tba ones! of New Jersey, ZT 27' N. UtlilWo, and 74* AZ E. longitude, Ui miles aontlieaat from Philadelphia, and Mj xmlsi by rail. 1c is 18 miles nortLaut hum C«|*e May, and about the soma d» lance from Atlantic City. Tbe mean temperature of Lodlam l«land does not vary much from that of Atlantic City, which i* 62* K The humidity of tbe atmoepbere M similar to that ot Atlantic CUy, being equally dry and sal uhrioue. it is wdl located for both a winter sod somnwt resort^ on account of it* climatic advantages. The Island b 6J mile* in length, and varies from j to li miles in width, extending from Corson's Inlet, on the north, to Town*eiid's Jnle-t, on l'ie south, slid ii surrounded by tbe Atlantic Ocean, Ludl/m Kay and a navsgaUe channel called tbe 1 borough fare, fur* nbhing excellent advantages for fola ing, sailing and alillwater bathing. A beach 150 feet wide extends the entire length of the Island, gently shelving, of very hard, close-forked sand, affording a fine natuml drice f««r more than 6 miles, and unusual facilities for walking and bathing, whVeli are not excelled, by any watering place on tbe coast. In walking, or driring, indentation ii made uj>oa the sand, affording, in thb respect, a striking contrast to many other teaches, where Hie sand b lonee and treacherous. The advantages the beach affords fas bathing, are excellent, there Wing no ander*|ow jwrccplible, and in this re* •peel peculiar. The bottom descends so gradually, that shallow water extends a great distance from tba shore. In Lathing, no ropes are required, and it W safe for women and children. It b sufficiently north of Delaware Bay to be entirely free from the mod of tbe bay, »r.d bathing can always be bad in dean, clear water. The "fast land" of tbf bland consists of low hilb and ridges, with level por* I ions of sand, which are found by actual survey to vary frqni 2 teet to 27 feet, the highest in delation, above high water. The meadow lands are never reec flowed by high water, except by storm tides, which are of rare occurrence. The abundance of game and fish in the vicinity has made tbe Island for yearn a favorite resort of sportsmen. The inland bay, known as Ludlam Boy, aflords Mile still water bathing, having a gently shelving shore, and si so safe yaehling, and abound* In fi*h, >y*tera, crabs, cUnu, Ac. Une portion jf it is only 1200 feet from the sea bead 1, so that on one side suri-baihimf can be had. nnd upon the other flue ; still-water bathing. The site selected for Sea Isle Gty ■ ; on the northern half of tha Island ; extending lo the centre and then south jrartlly. It will have a frontage on the Allan tie of three miles, and extend Inland to Ludlam Bay and the Thoroughfare, j along which ftl is practicable, ana it b 1 pmpoaed te lay out and construct a carriage drive for the distance of more than two miles. H b proposed to protect the City from Inch tide, by a suUtantial sea wall 011 the two side* most exposed, and bv embankment* on the remaining < sides, which can he done at a moderate 1 expense, considering the economical and other advantages. Absolute security will lh«w be obtained against encroachments bv the sea, m that hare occasioned much damage st Chpe May, Atlantic Citv. Monmouth Beach. Manhattan Beaeh, and oilier places. No other seaside resort at IU I present time, has the protection that b proposed for thb place. llie Island b uninhabited t tliera I being no houses on It except two Gov- | em ment' Stations, and no cesspool*; I the way b clear for carrying into opera- , j tson a thorough system of sanitary regulation ; such as you propoae under the I supervision of an efficient and experienced sanitary engineer. The Island can be voir eaailv conj n acted with tha West Jersey R. k.. by a short branch road from 41 lo 6 miles in 1 en (th. there being but a namm Thoroughfare to eroass with a bridge. A Government Light house should be ©etablohed on thb Island, aa numerous wrecks hers occurred on it, and by a little expense on tho pert of government In the construction of jetties, two excellent harbors cen be satabibbed on the north and aoulh ends of the l«Ian<L at OvrsonV and ToqsiM-tMl'i # lnleta, which would become important com mercial points by connection with »»<!• road, and a safe refuge for veesik In v storms. The plan upon whieh you propone to lay out the City h calculated to suh eerre the purposes of convenience, henlth and heenty. With proper railroad facilities, and lots offered at a reasonable price, I do not see why thb place should not become as great a resort as Atlanifr Oltv, t»T mason ot iti proximity to l*hila<L-l- ! phia, and the rharewter of the Iwach. > And when the eamiary qncsOor w 'aken into eonsk^ir srion, e plnre of wen greater resort The Wset Jersey Railroad can make the same time to Sea ide City frin ChiUdelphia. as to A ilea tie Oitv A • Reapertfblly, B FAKRAND CW Engmeee
