unfinished Is that over Robiusou's

beyond that point is now in such state
that a teamster can find smooth

bound 10 spring into great fAycr asa
driveway as soon as it is thrown open 10

white stretch of road is visible % the
driver. There Is only one bend in the
boulevard from the board of trade build
ing on Houston street TO the END OF the
line, o distance of over three miles,
Near the end of the line Us at pres
ent projected Is found some OF
the natural scenery that is bound to be-
come famous as soon as this property is
thrown open. At the spot where the
Arlingto Heights park will be located
is scene that equals the grandeur OF
the Catskills. Standing on the edge OF
an abrupt declivity that Overlooks the
valley of the West Fork 200 feet below Il

beautiful tint of green. On this bluff

being erected some of the finest resi-
denoes Robert Mozart will have bis
