 The surroundings of the historic mineral spring have undergone a marked change for the better within the past eight cen months. The new brick office and bottling house, together with the terraces and walks which have been built around it, are improvements in which the bor- ough, as well as the owner, may take just pride. The changes already made are be- ing further completed now by the erection around the spring itself of handsome granite curbing, which is soon to be sur by an appropriate structure of wood. Additional concrete walks are to be laid, and further grading and sodding will be done. All of these changes have been made at large outlay, and Mir. Con- verse feels assured that the public gen. orally will appreciate the improved appear ance of this popular spot. The work also has been carried out with view to ben sfitting the public as well as the owner, and the public has an interest in prevent ng any abuse of the improvements and privileges of the spring. The spring has 1ad an unenviable reputation at times in he past, on account of the lettering and ,onduct of few minimizing persons dur ng the season when most frequent resort s made to the spring. The improvements now being made cannot be maintained, ,or can the privileges of the spring be en. oyed by all members of the community, lnless the conduct of all persons while Shere is well regulated and orderly. MT. Converse feels confident that the best DOT lion of the community will sustain him in any evils of conduct which may arise in connection with the spring. The public are welcome now, as always, to re- sort to the spring for water without inter- ruption, but all lettering, loafing or other improper use of the premises is entirely without excuse, and will in no sense be overlooked or tolerated.
 The court of burgesses give warning that unlawful disturbances or unseemly noises out of the proper hours will be pretty liable to get offenders into sslimbo."
