LAYING OUT A ROAD.


Was Done Right.
A good many years ago @. K. G.. Bill
tings, who made his millions in Chi
cago gas. bought a good sized plot Of
ground on the heights overlooking the
Hudson river at the upper end Of Man
haitian Island. Some time later he put
up a house which still RENT ins the
pride of seeing New York" guides.
When the land had been bought the
question arose, as to the best means of
laying out a roadway up the steep and
rocky hill. at the crest Of which the
house was to stand. Mr.. Billings was
puzzled. He wanted to make 1t as easy
a climb as he could. He m%entioped the
problem to his friend w. @. Muschen-
helm. a New York hotel proprietor. Mr..
Muschenheim. who was familiar with
the hills and dales of that part Of New
