 Operations on a Wholesale Scale.
 The northern section of Fair Haven, ad joining Ferry street, and in the vicinity of the park bounded by Rowe, English and Peck streets and the Quinnipiac river, and, also, near East Rock park and Bishops gate, is lined with beautiful shade trees and possesses natural beauty equal to any section of the city. Physicians con- sider it the healthiest part of the city, for the reason that it is seventy feet higher than the average level of New Haven. In passing by the handsome lawns and flower gardens, noticeable amongst which are Hiram Camps and MT. Saults, many have wondered why the beautiful building sites in that section were not improved. l. The secret lies in the fact that much of this old and wealthy residents. Some of it has lately been placed in the maket and the astonishing results are that within 8 year no less than thirty-six new houses have been built or are in course of construction, making in this section of Fair Haven new and handsome neighborhood. Last October MT. William May of New York commenced the erection of eight new houses on the plot bounded by Ferry, English, Peck and Rowe streets. English street commences in front of Mr. Sault's fine residence on Ferry street and continues east to the Quinnipiac river, which contains at that point fine harbor of about 300 acres of water.
 The Hon. James M. Townsend, who is one of the park commissioners for the purchase of new park lands, informed your correspondent that the commission CTS had purchased last winter two squares of land at the foot of this street through MT. Frank DonnellJ and removed two houses therefrom in or der to complete the series of squares form ing the park bounded by English street or the north, Peck street on the south, Rowe street on the west, and the river on tht east, the intention being to improve this park and remove the pleasure boats and yachts to this harbor, where they would have ample space, and where they would not be thronged by other craft and ship ping in the neighborhood of the docks MT. William Day finished his houses this spring and are now all occupied but one They contain all modern improvements the interiors being handsomely decorated They occupy one end of the square or which the Ferry street public school stands and were intended for select families de string to have complete house to them selves for $15 month.
