Want 10 Rent YoUr Roof?

I'D like to make a contract for all the
roofs on this private house block said
a New York real estate agent. There
are upward Of 10000 or $4,000 square
feet of roofs here that represent waste
space; but the owners don't seem to re-
alize its value. and they won't rent 1t
TO those who know its worth. What
would / Go with It? Why convert it into
an open air sanatOTium in winter and
run il as a roof garden or children $
playground in sumer- or If the owners
objected TO such uses. I'd make a big
greenhouse up here and rent IL out TO
some gardener who knew how TO raise
hothouse fruits and vegetables in mid
winter. In the summer I'd cover it
over with q canvas TO protect IL from
the sun and YOU could get some of the
finest flowers Of the year right up here.

oycrrides colonial cnactments.
Tic government furthermore calcu-
lates that this threat Of prosecution VIII
deter the colonial fisherman from going

will therefore be unable to secure
crews to catch herring. AS this would
nullify the spirit Of the moduS vlveEdi'
which agrees that nobody shall be pen
