Cables Hotel and the Atlantic Garden, AZ 1t will
bring many people up that way who come by steam
boat to the west end.
The Atlantic Garden is to be extended toward the

line the middle of the garden. and it is to be made
to resemble much possible tropical conserva-
tory. An addition of fifteen men will be made to the
police force, and Judge Voorhs will hold court
