promise that if that road be vacated
they Will erect cottages along the lake
front to rent and will construct a
suitable road along the route proposed.
This is worthy project and should
meet the approval OF all our citizens.
The road proposed To be vacated has
always been exceedingly difficult TO
keep III repair, il is close to the water,
and Ia summer is continually washing
out: lii winter it is damaged by the ice
and IN spring and fall il is almost i'm.
passible. Twenty or twenty-five al

the lake would bring money To our

lawns and gardens would be much
more conducive 10 health and beauty
than piles of logs and rubbish.
