VISOR OF the extensive Improvements
that Will be made to the grounds.
The present plans for improvements
VIII entail an expenditure OF about
$4,000. II is understood. and will
consist of grading. laying water
mains. installing lighting system. ce-
ment walks, sewerage, streets and
grading.
The syndicate is composed OF Geo.
+. Stifel. II. +. Carter. II. G. Ogden
and J. t. Carter. The plans for the
improvements will necessitate some
heavy grading for the streets. Just
how this work will be handled is not
as yet known. but IL is likely that a
part of IL will be sub-let in smaller
contracts in order that the work may
be rushed to completion as soon as
possible. The work will be started
today, II the weather permits.
The concrete walks will be a valu-
able Improvement TO the property. IL
is planned to extend the walk along
the east side OF the National pike
wrom the Elm Grove corporate limit
to the end OF the tract near the s.
bridge. A grass plot six feet wide
Will be left between the curb and the
walk. while the walk will be Ave feet
wide. This makes the road eleven
feet wider. so far as pedestrians are
concerned.
Heretofore pedestrians have been
compelled TO walk in the pike. AS
the road is used a great deal. this
was dangerous, especially in the sum
mer months, when automobile traffic
was heavy. The walk will be indie
pendent OF the roadway.
