ultimately one or the largest and most
beautiful summer estates here. Their
place. The Elms. even now is one OF the

before long they will probably own a
whole city block. This is the intention OF
M. Berwind. his desire seeming 10 be 20
own the whole section between Bellevue
avenue and Spring street on two sides,
east and west, and from Perry street 10
Dixon street, north and south.
Purchases that have been made during
the last few years have extended the Der
wind property through 10 Spring street
flon Bellevue avenue, and with one ex-
ception Nj Berwind now owns the entire
Spring street frontage. The exception is
at the corner Of Perry street At this
corner the city has a big public school
the Lenthal School building. There have
been no overtures made for the purchase
Of this property as far as known but II

probable that II he made the proper
proposition 10 the city, assuring the
building OF another school building in the
reighborhood. there is no question that
he and the city could come 10 terms.
