Rockefeller Shuts Out Tho Public,
From the Nau Yor3r Tirna.

The estate Of John d. Rockefeller. q.
Tarrytown. N. T.. is to be closed to the
public. An iron fence six feet high and
twenty miles long Is now being erected
under the supervision Of John D.
Rockefeller, .jr.. and 1t is believed here
that he was the originator Of the
scheme.
Mr.. Rockefeller has hitherto allowed
the public to drive over his property.
and it is said the privilege has been
abused. The borders of the lawns
skirting the roadways have been beaten;
down BY careless drivers. and visitors
have often stolen fruit from tho ORCH
ards.
There is public road running
through the property. which will be
fenced on either side. and gates viii
be erected where the. private roads,
Of. the estate run into 1t.
There, are thirty miles Of private
roads on the estate. which comprises
