entire length Of the west side of Mar

YltrItied brick such as are being used

probably lay cement walks. The
walks are all to be teet wide. How
much nicer it would be if the property

done the walk would be uniform and
OF the same material and everyone we
believe would be better satisfied with
the result and general effect.
