accompanied by Mrs. Burnham, and from now
until July LIST, the date for the opening of the
hotel, will have carpenters at work repairing
both outside and inside, and the entire hotel

the inside every room is to be calcimined; new
carpets and rugs laid; new curtains, shades and
screens; new and modern brass and iron beds;

public and two private ones. In the fall there
will be dozen or more private baths installed
en- suite. On the office floor billiard room
will be put in and the entire left wing will b.,
changed from chambers to private dining
rooms from which connection with the kitch-

MIR. Burnham intends to cater particularly to
the automobile trade, and it will be possible at
any hour to obtain for any sized party. lob

the hotel has always required but never been
able to provide before. AS it is now too late
to build proper music room this season,
dances will be held in the dining room until an

held at Bangor, February T. 1872 the follow

Whereas the practice Of recent years in the
management of the grounds of the associa-
iation is inconsistent with the purpose for
which the association was Incorporated, and
Whereas, the association receives no income
from property sold, either by quitclaim or
warranty deed, all taxes being payable to the
town of Northport, and
Whereas, the sole duty of the Association is
to conduct religious service for at least one
week each year, and to enforce certain charter
regulations of a sanitary and moral nature,
and
Whereas, the gradual assumption of other
duties which belong to the property owners in
diyidually and collectively is not in accord
with sound business sense, and is an expense
upon the association for which no tax is levied
upon the property holders: therefore, be it
Be it resolved, That hereafter this associa-
ton will confine it's business management SOLE
ly to the maintenance of its property to the
enforcement of the rights granted in its
charter and incorporated in every deed grant
ed, and to the maintenance of a series of re-
ligious services as required by said charter,
and
Be it further resolved, That it is our convic-
ton that an organization of the property own
ers within the bounds of the association
grounds should be effected for the purpose of
promoting the welfare of the community, and
providing for such sanitary service as may be
desired, and
Be it further resolved, That we record our
willingness as corporate body to cooperate
as an individual property owner, in any effort
not inconsistent with the expressed purpose
of the association, to enhance the beauty of
the grounds and promote the welfare of the
community.
Resolved, That this action be published in
the press, and that copies be mailed as far as
possible, to all property owners.
