Extensive improvements are being
made around the new Bank building,
under the superintendent of Charles
Ogden. The space between the Bank
building and the store occupied by ID.
c. Skillins has been graded off and
covered with loan, where grass will
be planted and one or two flower beds
made. AT the rear of the building a
high board fence will be erected from
the S1Iillins store to Winthrop street,
and also on Winthrop street a fence
will be built connecting with the one
in the rear. This will obstruct the
view of unsightly buildings which can
now be seen from Water street and
will add much to the appearance of
the grounds around the building.
