! Z. 2. and W. Z. Wheeler Of this village
have the contract for the erection OF six
sided cottage near the now famous Ben
casson on the top Of Newfane hill. Several
pieces Of land on the hill have recently
changed ownership and there is some
prospect that the site of the once most
| populous village in the county will become
a noted summer resort. With view I'M

degree of heat by constant breeze. and
with the total absence Of flies, mosquitoes
and noxious animals it would seem that
| Newfane Hill could mete out in full meas.
