Lord for the purchase of the land, which is a sec- tion of the big Ibt directly south of the Lord residence, and he will operate the rest of the land under a lease, with privilege of buying. The roadhouse will be furnished with a big sarage for the auto traffic, which is especiallyy heavy through this section for eight months in the year, and there will be quarters for chauffeurs on the second foor of the garage.
