Mr.. Walton explained that the balance of
$l7,52l 40, shown in this statement, was no

fused to honor a check drawn on a special

of wind-mills:

to force water to the top OF buildings, or
some elevated ground, not only for supply

suburban residences Astounding for miles
around the city of New York on every SHE.
With little outlay these mills are made use

BY setting stakes on one side Of the bed and

other side. Across this bcd green bushes in
