1t seems to me the Pilgrim Fathers overlooked
the greatest chance Of their eventful lives

rockbound coast should be forever set aside
from Indians and stock brokers, and that per-
mission to set aside bathing beaches should
be granted in all these publicly owned inter
walls of shore line, and that, furthermore, any
person who built wall of masonry more than
four feet high around an estate commanding
view of the open water should be judged by
