Squirrel Island

Nearly 5000 feet Of new cement
concrete walks were laid last fall at
Squirrel Island. These walks arc of
the uniform width OF four feet. Now
the cement walks extend continuous
~ from the wharf to the west end
OF the South Shore. The West Shore
walk will be completed in the spring.
There are now about three miles of
these fine walks on the island which
isn't over a mile long itself.
Supt. Barter and Percy Coombs
went TO Boston recently and returned
with Il new Ford onc-ton truck. Mir.
Barter expects to use the car for
hauling gravel, wood, coal, etc. on
the island and the motor for running
a wood saw.
Aside from the arrival of the car
and the snow everything has been
very quiet on the island. Everything
is we'll protected for the winter and
the island is covered with snow. 1t
is q wonderful picture, and those
summer friends who have never seen
their favorite spots in snow time
would appreciate tho beauties now.
Some repairing is being done on
cottages, but the chief interest is the
addition being made at the Casino
where a new waiting room for ladies
is being added. The McGraw cot
taGe is being improved.
Landscape work is being done this
winter, by Supt. Barter and Mr..
Coombs. The island woods is being
inspected and some of the trees cut
out to improve the property and per-
mt the proper growth of the other
trees. MIR. Barter estimates there
Will be about rs cords of soft wood
when done, which, will be fitted for
flreplaces, and sold to the islanders.
