Dear Sir

I send you the two plans
of the Watriss and Chant Lot & papers connected with
them.

The continuation of the Northern branch of Elm Ave. into
the Watriss Lot, does not meet the requirements I think
All teams must in this case either pass the front gate
or else pass around a sharp turn from the South branch
of Elm Ave (near lot 3906) when they would be very liable
to do damage.

The Southern branch of Elm Ave can be extended
by the purchase or exchange of lot 2298 and this gives
in my opinion the best means of access.

It would be possible to widen either Mistletoe Path or
Spiraea, but only by the purchase of exchange of at least
one lot. I think Spiraea path can be extended to advantage
as a path.

On the southern side of St John's Lot, the path can be
widened to 9 or 10 feet as indicated by the purple lines
(present path in plain black) which would be wide
enough for our own teams. It is possible to widen
so as to make a very handsome entrance to the
Chant Lot, by exchanging or purchasing Lots 1653, 2694, 2877 & 3578

I have provided on the Western side for a large Public
