A number Of cottages will be moved
soon, so as to open up narrow and OBJ
structed street, which will add very ma
terially to the beauty Of that portion O.
the ground. A number OF the owners o
cottages whose tenements have tacedin the
wrong direction are having them RICH
about faced, so that as soon as possible
there may be uniformity In the appear
ance OF this rural city; the idea is to have
all OF the cottages face upon the streets
! and have the kitchens look at each othel
across the alleys.
The association decided to keep thu
boarding and grocery under its own con
troll during the present summer.
Messrs. Thompson & Hibberd, made
proposition 10 the association in regard u

grounds, by hydraulic power, exercised BY

the hill in the rear Of the camp ground
and from thence to be conveyed by pipes
to the Enclosures OF tents aud distributed
over the ground. The possible cost OF Thu
addition is put at S2,1l5. It would be {
vast Improvement to these otherwise at
tractiye grounds. A meeting Of the as
