HutchInsOnSs IsIand-A Practical
Scheme


Scheme.
We understand that at the next meeting
Of Council proposition will be submitted
by certain gentlemen to lease that portion
OF Hutchinson's Island owned by the city
for the term of twenty-five years, upon GER
tain conditions being complied with. The
petitioners ask that the city place the bank
on the northern side of the island on Back
river in thorough order, which it is as
serted can now be done at a
reasonable outlay. The petitioners propose
to pay certain rentals for the first five years,
an increase for the next ten years, and a
still greater increase for the last ten years,
and also to have privilege of renewal OF the
lease. Their idea, we hear, is to divide a
portion of the land into small tracts, and
build q number Of small but neat and
substantial frame buildings, which
will be rented out or leased. Tue parties
SO renting would materially assist in keeping
the lands thoroughly drained, being i'm
PEELED by self interest, In the cultivation
and preservation of their little crops. An
other portion of the land will be used for
raising hay, and the remainder will be util-
lied for garden truck.
This, briefly, is the plan proposed, and a
moments re0ecLlOu VIII suOH lnab the
scheme is a practical one. The projectors
have great faith In being able, in time, to
render the island profitable, and
assert that it can be made
a blooming place, and become a
source of revenue to the city. They further
propose to have canal dug the length Of
the island, about in the centre, say one
mile long, which can be done at a cost Of
little over $1,000, with a system of
trunks, whereby perfect drainage may
be obtained, and the improvement of
the island will then be permanent.
With a properly constructed bank on the
north side inside of the present bank, the
island will be almost entirely safe from over
flow, no matter how severe a storm we may
have.
The parties who have designed this plan
desire, it is stated, to associate some ener-
getic, practical gentleman with them. The
amount of capital required will not be great.
