Senator Reynolds, president of Dreamland Corporation, did not hear of tho fire until 8 o'clock this morning. He Immediately left his home at Dong Heae.h and Htarted for Coney Island. "If I have my way," said Mr. Iteynolds to an Evening World reporter, "there will he a Greater Dreamland and It will be built at once.

Maimer's I'avlllon had accommodations for 3,750 people. Dreamland Park has a water frontage of 350 fee(. The fire wiped out nil (he Dreamland leases. An opportunity presents Itself now ftfr the city to acquire this strip of beach which would make Surf avenue the northerly limit of a park extending from the proacnt park at the foot of the Boulevard west almost to West Tenth street. Certainly (be land can never be acquired for a cheaper price (han It Is held at to-day.

The Palmer end Dreamland plots command 570 feet of frontage both on tha ocean and Surf avenue and run tijrough. TOM RYAN LOSES HALF MILLION.

A feature of the fire, unusual and terrifying, was the cloud scalding steam that drifted from Dreamland out over rfurf avenue and beyond.
