CHESHIRE'S PROSPECTS,
MAY RIVAL LITCHRIELD OR LENo1 AS SUMM FIR RESORT.

Greater Demand Now There For Sum

 Cheshire, April 16.-There is some prospect that Cheshire will soon take a boom, and it would be well for Cheshire people to be liberal and sell their land for fair price if they would have the town grow. There is no reason why Cheshire should not rank with Lenox, Mass, and Litchfield, Conn.,, as a fam Ous summer resort. It has many ad- Yantages over either, as it is near New Haven and on the line of the steam and trolley car lines. and with the trolley lines north, east, west and south, where can you find more desirable plain. To-day there is a greater demand for summer board and summer residences than can be supplied. If some of our farmers that do not make the farm pay would take a few boarders they might increase their income. If Rockefeller should ever visit Cheshire we think he would be so charmed with the place he would build him mansion here, or would be willing to give some one $l0O,- 900 to have built a summer hotel or boarding house here.
 One of the most desirable locations would be just north of the Congrega- tional church on land of A. $. Bennett, where splendid view could be had to the north, east, west and south, and near the trolley cars.
 The residence of the late A. c. Peck is for sale with two acres of land, house of twelve rooms, great variety of fruit, 200 feet from trolley car line, If mile from New Haven and Northampton railroad station, very pleasant place for some one to buy and take boarders.

 MT. Weeks, who is doing the grading on the Milldale trolley, is pushing the work rapidly, and expects to have his part completed by the first of June. Most every one is in favor of the trolley road to Meriden, and it is thought that the road will soon be built.
