Chair. Comm on Mounds

Dear Sir

Enclosed is a plan which I offer as
a substitute for the present plan for laying out that part
of the Stone Farm between Magnolia, Swan & Eagle Avenues and
the Iron Fence.

A copy of the present laying out is in your posession or at
the Boston office, and the proposed charges are shown on the
enclosed plan in red.

I consider the advantage of the proposed plan to be that
the laying out conforms more nearly with the natural
surface, that the means of drainage will be better, and
the curve & winding avenues will present a more pleasing
appearance than long and straight ones.

As work is now underway which would be somewhat effected by
this change. I should be glad to know the decision of the
committee as soon as convenient.

Resfectfully
J. W. Lovering
