DISCUSSES FEATURES
OF FIRST PRIZE WINNING PLAN

J ivan Disc is one OF the younger
generation of architects. but he already
has made an enviable nane for him
self. This is the third competition in
wh.cn he took part since he came to
New York tlIeee years ago. and he was
awarded a prize In every one OF
tncm. In the three years during which
h. has been in the office OF Cass Gil
t-rt he has worked on the plans OF
s,ich notable structures as the Water

turc: the Detroit Public Library and
The Scott Memorial Fountain at De.

Mr.. Gilbert's monument is the Wool
worth Building, and his lesser works
are chiefly massive structures. lie
has done a number OF the city's most
attractive homes, but his best efforts
have not taken him into country home
banning. In view OF this the skill of
the winner of the competition Is more
notable. and his especial ability in the
planning Of country homes Is further re-
fected in his success In competitions
held by the ~Brsckbutidcr, Mr.. Disc hav.
ing taken third prize two years ago
with a design for a $1,000 ~fireproof
house. and last year for a two apartment
house.
The architecture school OF the Unit
srrsity Of Pennsylvania was the train
ing school OF this young architect. After
being graduated from the four years
course he became associated with his

Over $45O has been pleugeo thu far for the purchase of the Diamont Ledge property, and it is hoped tha this can be increased to $55O, thu necessary amount to secure the lant at the ledge and the brook shore abov' the falls. There are many who hav' probably not yet pledged for the obJeo who desire to have a part in the con servation of this attractive spot, ane contributions of any amount will hell the project. The right of way to the ledge should be made passable to1 teams and automobiles. It will be public park for the whole town an6 all received over the $55O can bt readily used for improving the right of way and laying out of paths. There has been unusual interest and many have visited the Ledge during the past two weeks. The right of way which will go with the purchase oi the property leads from the highway between the West Stafford school house and the old Blodgett house and is about a quarter of mile long. The top of the ledge is about sixty feet above the brook near the falls, shown , in the picture above. There is fine hemlnck grove on the top of the ledge which will be saved by the purchase of the property. About fifty years ago a portion of the ledge was blasted away in the hopes of finding gold. but the effort proved fruitless. The property at that time was owned by Farley Holmes, one of five brothers. Francis Sturtevant, who will sell the property for $400, purchased the same from M. A. Cady who was son. in law of MT. Holmes. The ad' joining fifteen acres desired are owned by Louis Demars and it is heavily wooded. The price asked, $4OO, and $50, for the two tracts, is judged to be very reasonable considering the standing wood on the property. All contributors will be proud in later years to say that they helped save this beautiful place from devastation and had a part in giving it to the town for a public park. Let all contribute who can, even if only able to give fifty cents or a dollar.

 Rockville Leader-Stafford Springs, Rockville's near and good neighbor. is one of the busiest places on the map of Connecticut these days. It is mov- ing right along and distancing many of its hitherto near competitors. It is doing things in every line and ex- hibiting a degree of progressivism, combined with public spirit and civic pride, on the part of its citizens, deserving of special note and worthy of emulation. The spirit of its citizens has counted heavily and brought worthwhile results. There was a time not great many years ago, when Stafford appeared to be in a rut, her citizens indifferent. This condition has ceased. Stafford is on the top wave of prosperity, rich in accom- plishment and achievement. 1t is certain to remain there as long as it's citizens put plenty of "pep" into what they say and do and pull togeth- CT with a punch. What Stafford has done all towns can do. It's up to the citizens. If they've got the 'pep" and the punch and will just pull together, they'll put the town oD the map and keep it there.
