here as yachting year" that is, the year in which
international yacht races take place, has always
been the most prosperous for Newport, as during
that year a greater number of yachts are IN COM

ESTIMATE HAS BEEN MADE
Proposed Sidewalk to Odd Fellows
Cemetery VIII Cost $22S.

The committees appointed by
the several fraternal orders of the
city to raise funds for the CON
struction of a sidewalk to the Odd
Fellows cemetery met in the Fire
mems Hall, Monday evening, and
heard the report of the sub-com-
mittee appointed to measure the
distance and estimate the cost OF
the proposed improvement. The
committee reported that the distance
from the West end of Ash street to
the cemetery gate is 1910 feet, and
that the walk will cost 1912. They
recommended that the sum of 1926
be raised, as there will doubtless
be some small items Of expense in
addition to the amount of the
estimate.
The report contemplates the
building of 3-foot sidewalk, or,
rather, two 12-inch boards laid
lengthwise, with one foot Of space
between them. The boards are to
be two inches thick and laid upon
substantial cross-pieces, and Sc
curely spiked down with 20.penny
nails. The walk will be of sub
stantial character, and Will last for
many years to come.
The committee hopes to raise
about 1925 from the lodges Of the
city, and the remaining 500 by
private subscriptions. AS soon as
it is known how much the lodges
will donate, subscription paper
for the balance will be circulated
among the business men and
citizens generally.
No difficulty is anticipated in
raising the funds needed to carry
out this worthy move, and it is be
lieved that the money can be
secured and the work begun by the
first Of the coming year. Everyone
seems interested in the construction
of walk to the cemetery, and
already the committee has received
assurance of generous aid from
many business men and citizens.
