Hotel Planned jj
For Long Beach ^
Promoters Say They Will
Construct Hotel And
Other Facilities For Use
Before Next Summer
C
Long Beach, seven miles from
Southport and adjoining Caswell
Beach, is set to grow and develop
during the next few months, according
to E. F. Middleton, one
of the promotors of the beach b<
property. Mr. Middleton was in151
town from Charleston Monday [ m
and was enthusiastic about the fi
prospects. le
He stated that company, as 3;
one of its own moves for im- m
provement, would construct a
large hotel during the winter and 01
spring. The plans are for this A
hotel to be of brick and to be oi
built on a size in keeping with j
expectations or great growtn or a
the resort during the next few cs
years. H
A fishing pier extending out T
into the ocean is also being plan- ni
ned. Both of these improvements tf.
were in mind before the war w
brought about delay. Ti
In addition to the improvements aI
which the beach owners plan to rc
make on their own, Mr. Middle- g,
ton says that a large number of , q
beach lot owners are preparing i tc
to construct homes this winter j js
and in the spring. Next summer
should see Long Beach more than cl
double its present size.
