cations point to the early completion

year outlet east and west.
Our electric needs are supplied by
the West Maryland Power company
and it's service is prompt and efficient.
We have natural gas in abundance
and good service by the company sup
plying it.
The Oakland Fire Department is
promptly on the job at every call.
We ought to have system of fire
plugs, standardized with Oakland, so
its hose and equipment could be used
in fighting possible fires at the Park,
and we should otherwise assist the
department in reducing the fire haz-
ard here.
The physicians of Oakland, who
serve the Park, have no superiors, and
they are always on call.
The town and country markets are
bountiful.
And you can find no more inspiring
cenery east of the Rockies.
Having all this, and more, in con-
clusion, it would seem to be the part
of wisdom and good business judg-
ment-a good investment-for those
who are largely interested, to spend
the necessary money in making Mt.
Lake Park more inviting to the people
at large. Make them want to come;
return them tc their homes satisfied
so they will want to come again.
