The decision will be cited as q

BRETON BEACH,
LOTS SELL

Breton Beach, taking on the hus-
tie and hustle attendant to new
waterfront communities, is fast
forging ahead with its development
work. Two new houses were in the
course OF construction last week.
Several other purchasers of lots
have shown an inclination to erect

before the summer is very old.
The road back of the first Sec
ton OF waterfront lots has been
dragged, the stumps uprooted and
grading completed. Up-to-date the
sale OF ~ Of the lots on the Breton
Bay side has been listed. With
advent Of warm weather the beach
is more and more becoming a rem

artesian well, directly on the picnic
grounds assures a constant supply

In laying out the lots for sale,
particular attention was paid to the
location OF business properties.
They are situated so no home will
be over ten minutes walk to pro-
visions of every sort. The truck
