MOTOR BANKER DINES MI Long Branch Is going to have a pier, convention hall, a $1,000,000 hotel, an ocean front theater, luxurious baths and a nucleus of a modern all year around resort, the details of which have set the community agog with excitement and have given such Impetus to the board of trade and councllmunio body in the dash for supremacy on the Jersey shore that nothing Is talked of today but the rosy future and tho beautiful development of the mile sea front which tho Long Branchers believe Is now a veritable reality. It nil camo about thru the herculean efforts of a multimillionaire whoso Interest in Long Branch arises from the ownership of vuluable property, and Messrs. Cot-trell and Son, architects of Asbury Park, who huve made tho plans and will supervise the construction. The project was brought before the city council last night and a tentative lease of the Ocean park site was agreed to.

Formul completion of the negotiations was deferred until Tuesday night, when council, projectors of the plans, the city solicitor and several capitalists Interested In the enterprise will appear In the council chamber and present a formal lease for execution by the proper officials. As outlined at the meeting lawt night, the syndicate Is headed by James O. Ewlng, a Pittsburg millionaire, who, with other capitalists, has organized a company known as the Long Branch Pier and Land company. The company already has purchased the United States hotel site on the ocean front, upon which will be started Immediately after the lease of tho pier site Is secured, a 400-room concrete hotel of magnificent proportions, modeled upon the most modern design. It Is also proposed to construct a concrete steel pier with a double dock extending seaward 900 feet at the foot of Ocean park, on Ocean avenue.

The pier will Include four central amusement buildings, the first an arcade with bootliM, the second a bazaar structure with pool and billiard rooms on tho upper floor, the third a bowling alley and the fourth an amusement hall to scat 6,000 people.

There will be a meeting of the Long- Branch board of trade tomorrow, when the proposition, which, found Its first substantial support In that body, will be formally urged upon the council and steps taken to hasten the prelim inary proceedings. It Is the purpose of the company to begin work upon the under piling and ground floor of the pier Immediately after the lease becomes operative. It Is not unlikely thut the convention hall wlllie completed In time for the ensuing season and It is understood that the board of trade and Long Branch publicity bureau is already negotiating with prominent organizations with view to Insure a brilliant opening of the convention season In 1911.

Long Branch business men turned cut In force at the meeting lust night and the utmost enthusiasm prevails over the bright prospect of one of the greatest revivals of the famous sum mer resort ever known In the annals of its history. While tho exact cost of the various enterprises Is not stated, It Is understood that upward of $3,000,. 000 will be expended In the various Improvements projected. There was some doubt as to the power of the council to lease the city property for the purposes described, It being the opinion of some memberi of the body that legislation would bo required. Examnatlon of the charter yesterday by tho clfy solicitor and New York attorneys of the pier and land company, sufficed to disclose a clause therein, It Is declared, which gave ample power for the granting of a franchise.
