So great was the call for shares IN the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms, distribu>
ted on The 3lst Of January, and 2Sth ofFebru-
ary, now past, that after every share was dis.
posed Of, my office was literally crowded with
applicants, by whose earnest solicitations, /
have been induced to lay out another plot adj
Joining tn. last, and extending westerly on
The Long Island Railroad to the Water Sta
ton where the cars now stop TO take in water.
Said plot will be divided into 500 Shares at
SIS each and consist of 700 Building Lots,
! one hundred feet square two Farms of TWEEN
~ acres each two of ten acres each, six of
five ncres each, two Of four acres each. and
lightweight smaller ones, to be distributed on
The 3ist March, 1898.
Each subscriber is entitled to A lots, 25 by
100 feet, lying together, or IL FARM of from
2 to 20 acres. The shares arc limited ct $l5
PAYABLE, SIS when bed for, 50 on or be-
fore the day Of distribution, and the balance
in monthly instnlmenls of $3.50.
The Village OF Lakeland where these lots
are located is only a short distance South Of
the celebrated Lake RonkUnkoina, the beauty
and romantic appearance OF which nre praised
by all who visit it. Here may already escen
the best evidence that ran lie desired that
Lakeland and Hcrmanville will shortly be-
come choice places on Long Island, long
known as the Garden Spot OF America.
From the published statistical accounts of the
late rcnsus taken hy the United States ii is
shown that Long Island is the most healthy
location within its borders - fewer deaths ac-
cording TO it, population than in any other
place. About $50 farms have been sold with
