All Along the East Shore-The Pro-
 gre.s or Laying Out Streets at the
 New Parka-New Cottages ana other
 Changes at Morris Cove and that
 Vicinity.
 This is ! noted year for improvements at the east shore. The two new parks To- cated on the east side of New Haven har- bor, one on historic old Beacon hill and one at the equally historic site of Fort Hale, and the building of new roadways in these parks, these improvements are alone of very important character. By them the city and town of New Haven must be immensely benefited in the future and the immediate effect is also gratifying upon the prosperity of both the city and the town. These parks cannot fail to be things of beauty and a joy forever, to pos terity and even as they are now in the rough, just as nature made them, they are beautiful, and they command delightful and highly picturesque wives. New Haven selectmen are already moving in the mat ter of having roads built connecting the towns main roads in that section with those roads now being made or already made in Beacon Hill park, as di- rooted by the park commissioners, and city surveyors have been busy, in their part of this work. The road on Beacon Hill runs to and around the site of old Fort w Wooster, through Fort Wooster park, and is. about completed. The government road to Fort Hale park was completed this week and parties can now drive. over it. A more | beautiful drive will be hard to find than | that to Fort Wooster park, thence to Fort ' uo1o 1or1x 1h1 s,, k1,os, | visits to these new parks expressed them selves as much pleased with what the park commissioners had done. Signs have just been placed at old Fort Hale, warning visi- tors and everybody to keep off and away | from the bombproofs This is because the bombproofs are in ruins and the roofs are likely to fall in if any extra weight is put | upon them.
 1 Beside these improvements of a public character there is the notable improve provement which is being made by the 1 Pequot Canoe association on the old Cove house. When this work is done and the house is in it's new dress, the place will hardly be recognized by the public and it's old patrons. It will add much to the at l tractive appearance of the cove, which ie one of the most beautiful spots along our -coast. Then individuals are making inn provements at the cove, and an addition is being made to the already large number of pretty summer cottages there. MT.
 William Cornwall of this oity has just
 erected stylish and pretty cottage in the lower part of the cove, below the Forbes
 house, and has removed his family there l for the summer. MT. Cornwall is score
 tary of the Howard Manufacturing com l pany, New York city. The Street brothers
 the manufacturers of food products il
 this city, have also nearly completed two
 pretty cottages at the cove. Mir. Beecher | the manufacturers in Westville, is also
 building on an addition to his cottage.
 Notable improvements are to be made ir
 the lower part of the cove. The Massens
 Clark estate, which was about all the re
 maining available land for building sites
 has taken steps looking to the opening of
 new street or avenue in this section, be
 tween the main road to Lighthouse Poin
 and the shore, an improvement which ha
 been much needed and is more required
 than ever. Other improvements are con
 templated, including the building of !,
 dock, there being always deep water alonl
 thickly dotted with beautiful summer cot
 tages ere many seasons roll by.
 Joseph Gilch of this city, who recentl,
 bought the Goodrich cottage in the lowe
 part, or left flank shore, of the cove, ha
 already begun to further beautify the spot
 and has had many friends call and admir-
 his purchase. Below the Clark estate lie
 the lands and cottage of Mir. Stewart, tn
 music dealer, and then comes the Stile
 ladies' estate and the lighthouse.
