GENTLEMES;-Being one of the committee
appointed 10 examine the building sites of
Dr Brown, and as business prevents me from
meeting with you tonight, have to say that
J have examined the grounds, and would
highly recommend il as a good location for
building purposes, as it requires little or no
grading, as the fall is about sufficient to
carry on the waste water; and further be-
lleve that good water may be obtained at
hitle expense. The grounds adjoining the
city must in very short time become very
valuable, an1 if there is sufficient number of |
lots taken to guarantee 10 DR. Brown the sale |
OF such. am willing to take two of them |
myself am yours, with respect,
VIM. II. REYNOLDS
After accepting the report, considerable |
discussion was had on the subject, altogether |
favorable to the object in view, when twenty |
two lots were subscribed for, and the meeting |
adjourned to meet at the Odd Fellows Hall |
Building, on Friday next, the 10th instant,
When all interested are invited TO attend.
