     Extensive improvements are to at once be made to Forest Park, one of Gulfport’s principal summer amusement resorts.  Sid Johnson, contractor and builder of Meridian, has the contract for doing the work and has arrived on the grounds with a crew of men.  The improvements will include a skating rink 75 by 152 feet, theater 60 by 140 feet, a half-mile pier, a fifty-room bath house, band stand, elaborate entrance, restaurant, etc.  It is hoped to complete the work by June 1.
