So great was the call for shares IN the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms, distrihu>
ted on the 3lst Of January, and 2Sth offebru-
airy, now past, tina, 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 ad-
Joining the 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
S Is each and consist OF 700 Building Lots,
one hundred feet square ; two Farms OF TWEEN
ty acres each two of ten acres each, six OF
FIVE acres each, two of four acres each, and
lightweight smaller ones, to be distributed on
no 3lst March. 1858.
Each subscriber is entitled to lots, 25 by
100 feet, living together, or a FARM of from
to 20 acres. The shares are limited ct Sic
payable SIS when subsc ibed for, SIS on or be-
fore the day of distribution, and the balance
| in monthly instalmenis of S2,50.
The Village of Lakeland where these lots
are located is only short distance South Of
the celebrated Lake Ronk Unkoina, the beauty
and romantic appearance OF which nrc praised
| oy all who visit it, Here may already be seen
the best evidence that can be desired that
| Lakeland and Hermanville will shortly be-
come choice places on Long Island, long
known as the " Garden Spot of America

shown that Long Island is the most healthy

cording to it, population than in any other
