Manager Gilbert was seen by HERALD
representative yesternoon, and as soon as
the scribe had become comfortably seated
in his private Office he said: ''Well, things
are going to get Hvelier. We closed up a
deal with Judge Patton today for his in
terest il Lakeview, and gave my personal
check for SIS, 000.'
How many acres does the addition in
cluder'
az don't know" replied Mr.. Gilbert,
''but there are !, 034 lots in all. We have
had this addition in view ana under consid-
Grafton for some time. but il has been a
