During the past two weeks permits for the erec- ‘on of sixty-one new buildiags have been issued from the office of the buliding inspector.

This tract Lies Just eat of the station, and will b reatter be known as Brookland, tu honor of the late Colonel Jehtel Brooks, who for over a half a century owned the place and resided there. There are, according to the subdivision, forty-one blocks or squares, di- vided by streets 60 feet wide. The streets east and West are known as Fort, Provi Lan. ‘Sing, Hartford, Frankfort, Dover, Concord and Austin, and those no:th and south as Queen, Wal- lace, Duncan, Burns and Argyle. ‘There are about 500 'lots, averaging 50 by 160 feet.
