Sterling Camp Grounds, June U.s.
The genaral conditions of the grounds
at this time CT year was never better
than it is at present. Superintendent
Camp, with an extra force of men, has
done much to beautify the place, max
ing the avenues hard and clean and
free from dust and the public squares
attractive in their neatness.
There is not an avenue on the
grounds which does not show in some
places the pains taken in making them
attractive.
AS has not been the genaral case II
former years, a number of the private
cottages are taking on an air OF beau-
ty and the owners seem to be Vieins
with each other in making their lawns
and homes in keeping with the public
grounds.
The interest shown in the grounds by
the public is increasing and more cot
tages are open and rented than in for
mer years. Inquiries for the cottages
are coming in from all parts OF the
eastern United States and even Mis-
souri, has a representative here. In
fact, the number of new buildings and
repairs is equal to the total for the past
five years. Especial care is being ex-
ercised in the construction of the new
buildings, and they are being put up
for permanent use.
Superintendent Camp is increasing
the financial income Of the association
bv taking in outside work and has kept
four men busy all spring with work
enough ahead to keep them busy for
several weeks
