 A MORRIS correspondent of the Amer ican says of the plan fora Lake road. 1 If carried out as contemplated it will attract thousands of visitors yearly and will fill to overfowing the homelike farm. houses of Morris, and the pretentious but less enjoyable hotels of Litchfeld. * ; A survey has recently been made, which | shows that less than three miles of road will have to he built ln Morris, and less than two in Litchfield, to complete this route. Much of the right of way has been given to the projectors and the town of Litch6eld is ready to build its part. and several gentlemen from abroad are anxious to purchase desirable points on this new road to erect summer villas. So feasible is the route. that it is estimated that less than four thousand dollars will Fbuild it, including the right of way. If the people of Morris accept the plan and build it, they will soon find an increase iu their population in the summer,- and oi their list of taxable property.
