Being Planned
for Grafton.
IDEAL LOCATION,
Promising Project Pushed
by Prominent People.

Grafton, Jan. 3.-Grafton is to have
a park and summer resort--that is if a
project which is now in its infancy
reaches maturity. Charles 4. Sever
ance and Walter L. Ripley owners and
proprietors of the Qulnsigamord House
at North Grafton, are the men who are
contemplating the enterprise, and the
site of the park is TO be cne land lying
east of the little Qulnsieamond river,
just below Wheeler bridge, and on the
line of the new electric road.
The piece of land contains % acres,
and part of it is well wooded with
chestnut trees of good growth, inter-
spersed with dense and shady pine
groves. The land is mostly high, and
is surrounded on the west and south
sides by the little Quinsigamond river
and Lake Ripple, respectively, and for
the greater part there are high banks
along the waters edge, making what
has for many seasons been an ideal
place for boating and bathing.
In the centre of the plot there are
about eight acres of level ground. from
which the wood was cut two years ago,
and this ground, at present under cul-
tiVatfon, would need but very little out
lay to transform it into an ideal ball
ground, its location between the two
villages being especially advantageous
The present owner purchased the
land about five years ago, and since
it came into his possession he has taken
great precautions against having the
trees cut and marked. The result of
this care is plainly evident to any one
passing through the woodland today,
there being many excellent specimens
of unusually large growth.
The selectmen neld their regular
monthly meeting last evening, at which
the usual grist of town bills was dis
posed of. The matters of special i'm
portance were the petition for a tele-
phone line to be erected through South
and North streets for the local tele-
phone exchange, and the petition of
Frank E. Vinton and several others in
terested in the preservation Of the fish
industry at Lake Ripple, so-called.
The Boys Club of the high school
held its second monthly meeting this
evening, and studied the formation of
the United States government.
The drama which is to be presented
by the high school during the winter is
entitled Mr.. Bob" and will be the first
attempt of the students in presenting a
play in the town hail..
