more readily and profitably than the common square lots.

Great care has also been taken to spare all of the few trees now left on this piece of ground.

The ground next South of the Main Entrance to the lot from Elm Avenue, I think, is very well suited to a public Lot. (The only one we have now vacant for use (St. Paul lot) is rather far from the Entrance for those who usually resort to a public Lot, and who come in on foot.)

A summer - house or open place with seats, would also be very appropriate near such a lot. N.B. - The subject of the exit and entrance to the Watriss lot, I will make the subject of future letter.

Yours Truly C.W. Folsom, Supt.
