The only place you can afford to fish is
where the fish are numerous big and

AS an old resident of Lafayette and an
extensive property owner, he has thor
oughly studied the conditions which have
kept Lafayette in a comparatively isolat-
ed position and his new park with rs
system of boulevards, he claims, would
not only al a long-felt want. but would
be the means of reclaiming large \lct
of what is now almost useless land and

familiar. This, he claims, will bring
Lafayette into greater prominence and
the furnishing of it with connecting
links to the Boulevard will be pleasant
diversion to the old route now used from
the Pennsylvania ferry to the Boulevard
by making a parkway through Colgate

wide, both with the Intervening centre
