Mr.. A. n. Thompson, the able superin-
tendent of Fort Hale park, has been carry
ing out some much needed improvements
there and hopes to be able to inaugurate
others in the near future. At present he
is overseeing the construction of a road in
Beacon Hill park. which leaves him but
very little time for much else. Mr..
Thompson has displayed his artitic tastes
even in SO seemingly simple a matter as
the construction of the paths in the Fort
Hale park. The main walk, which has re-
| Gently been finished, terminates just west
| of Belcher's grocery store, and is well
constructed out of lime and cement, with
| a top dressing of beach sand, which is the
| only dressing which will preserve the pris-
tine Wilderness of walk. Mr.. Thompson
has set out ivy, and bitter-sweet vines to
| shade the dainty nook in the bluff which
| he has recently finished. Above the we'll
known Lovers Nook" long, narrow
path has been shaded by young cedars,
Eastwood and dogwood trees, while at the
termination of the path Isl seat dug out OF
the natural rock, and just large enough
for two, obviously the lovers.
