The troilesy company was given a right of way to the beach throngh the Saunders farm which car- ried with it much land that is valuable. In ‘addition the trolley company was given shore front property easily worth $4,000 as building lots, which included the aite of the Casino at Atlantic beach. and the company has ample room for contemplated improvements. Of course Captain and Mrs. Saunders bave sold | off many building lots as have also Messrs, Clarke and Crandail, and more are vailable. all of which increased the value of what was formerly classed as farm land, with the incidental shore privileges.
