The Frederick, Nd, Weekly Netcs in a re-
cent issue thus speaks of two of Westmin-
sters enterprising citizens, and the good work
they are doing for that city:
The tract of land purchased last August of the
Jesse Wright estate adjoining the southwestern por
ton of Frederick city by Lynch Il Orendorff, of
Westminster, promises in the near future to play
prominent part toward increasing the present mar
probably give rise to several manufacturing enter
prlses by which to people the plat. The Lynch d
generally known, is one of three farms owned by
Mr. Lynch, one situated in Westminster and another
in Waynesboro', both of which are proving sue
cess. Ill the plan of the protector to purchase
farm near some town and lay it off into building
lots of reasonable dimensions to be sold at auction
or by agents The Frederick farm comprises 1879
acres of excellent land nicely situated and in high
state of cultivation Only 6S acres have been laid
off into building lots, any of which superb sites
for residences, as the ground is elevated slightly
above the central section of the city. description
ofwhat the extension really is and what is going
iowa rd making it n success would no doubt be of
interest TO a great many. From plat now before
us we find the ground nicely laid off into lots with
streets and alleys running in every direction, and
the object being convenience Burck street starts
into the east of Pampel's undry, on West South
street. and runs back 200 feet where it meets Madi
son street which runs through in southeasterly di
rection to the present lane leading from the farm
house, and connects with South Market street in
front of the Maryland School for the Deafand Dumb
through LambrightS alley, the street being about
2,400 feet long. About half way between Burck
which is simply extension of Bentz street, or
Mantzs alley, running along the western end of Nc
Murrays canning establishment About $50 feet
east of where Burck street interSecS Madison, Ham
ilton street starts in running in the direction
does the Harper's Ferry road with which it will
eventually connect. The next street south of Mad
ison is Washington, which runs from Hamilton
street in the direction as does Madison through
to the lane coming from the house, of which men
ton has already been made. The street south of
this is Monroe Half way between Hamilton and
Centre streets Park street is laid out and between
Centre street and the lane Hill street, which con-
meets with Madison in similar manner as East
Eighth street does with North Market. The streets
are all sixty feet wide and the squares nicely di
vided up into wenty lots each, with frontage of
40 feet and depth of $50 feet. An alley runs
through the centre of each square each way, which
gives rear entrance to every lot. All the lots on
Burck street have been disposed Of and about 20
the south side of Madison street Besides these lots
two lying south of Madison street, of acre and
perches and the other acres and perches, have
been purchased by Louis McMurray. Lot No. SO,
10 acres rood and % perches containing the SPRING
has also been sold Lot No. 49, which includes the
pond, was bought by Paul Hauser. Many ofthe lots
have been fenced in and under cultivation.
Several buildings will be put up this fall or carly
i'll the spring. the stone for the foundation of one is
now being quarried. Burck and Centre streets have
been opened up for some time. From the looks of
things on the grounds one is led 10 believe that
something will really come out of the enterprise.
