A movement is on foot to increase the
stock of the Mountain Lake Park Asso-
citation to 500, 600, the proceeds to be
used to largely extend the limits of the
lake and make other improvements.
The contemplated extension would bring
the lake down to the railroad station,
covering most of the ball grounds anc
make a body of water that could be
called a lake. This and the other i'm
proyements contemplated would cost in
the neighborhood of $50, 900 to $75, OOC
and would make Mountain Lake Park
an up-to-date summer resort.
Most of our hotels and boarding houses
are full and still the people are coming
on every train. Let them come anc
they will be taken care Of Many OF
our summer residents and cottagers
throw open their houses to furnish
additional room in case of unexpected
crowds.
