and among other things stated that he
desired it known of all men that Lov-
ers Retract is as available to the citi-

make it more attractive and pleasant.

ments. Also a bridge is soon to be
placed across the creek leading to
the beautiful and picturesque portion

the paths through the beautiful scen-

paths or walks are to be cleared of
loSse stone and other rubbish, that
pleasure seekers have easy passage
around the huge boulders and other
interesting and attractive scenery.
