The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-12-17

The attention of the public is called
to this christian health and summer
resort and the advantages it offers to
those seeking q summer home.
The Park contains 500 acres of
ground, laid off in lots fifty by one
hundred and twenty feet, each fac
ing an avenue fifty feet wide. In the
rear of each lot there is twelve foot
alley. There are only eight lots in
block, thus protecting the public
from being "crOwded' with build
ings.
These fifty foot lots are sold at
prices ranging from $75 to $500 each
and on the most liberal terms. They
may be purchased on monthly pay
ments of So or on annual payments
of $25. To those who will build with
in year, payments will be extended,
if desired, through three or more
years. Those who build will receive
rebate of one half of all the money
paid the b. & O. r. r. for freight on
building material and household
goods.
Advantages secured by purchasing
property at Mountain Lake Park.
By special charter granted by the
State of Maryland, Mountain Lake
Park has conferred upon it special
police power and protection. The
entire track of 800 acres is under spe-
cial police regulations. The Com
munity police officers have authority
to enforce law and protect its citizens.
No long trip to Oakland to secure the
protection of the sheriff or Of con
stable.
This charter protects the property
bn1
large. The outside world must fence
in their stock from the Park, under
penalty of having their stock placed
in the Community pound, hence the
eXpence of fencing in lots is not nee
essary in the Park
Every lot owner in the Park has
conferred upon him or her elective
franchise for municipal purposes.
Only lot owners are allowed to vote
at our municipal election. No pub
lie improvements requiring the eX-
penditure Of money can be made
without the vote of property owners

Lake Park station on Sunday from
January l to December 81 inclusive.

Mountain Lake Park, while it is

anu "uIililiVl IcSOTl, Is u1uelOlnllla-
tlohal. Here Gods people, all lovers
of order and quiet, meet and enjoy
the beauty and purity of this noun
tain top.
Mountain Lake Park is not ven
ture. It is not an experiment. 1t is
an established fact. A grand success
with wonderful possibilities. Thous-
ands of dollars have been expended
to ma Ike il what if is lrS stock holden,
have never received a dividend. The
receipts from the sale of lots have
been expended for improvements.
Many more thousands will be laid out
in heautitNing the Park and making
it an ideal christian resort.
