The falling of the summer foliage
from the trees about town has had one
very pronounced effect. While the
leaves were on the trees they shut off
the view of good many of the houses
on the east side of the river. even
the clock in the lofty tower Of the Cony
High school being concealed. Now
most of the residences on the other
side of the river are plainly visible, as
well as the City hospital and the High
school clock. That section now ap-
pears to be much more populous than a
summer visitor would suppose. unless
he had crossed the river and seen the
houses al close range.
