Se will pass on the "Lrns and Bird Fountains in the not
few days, from the Geiger. sketches. And the_ place-where Sehillirg
is now, should be fixed up handsomely by next season. The two
bridges acsoss the canal should be made to lo.>k very handsome, with
flower boxes on each end of the bridge, as they are the two most
principal points on the Island, with the eiception of the Causeway
entrance - and the impression mast be good.
I would strongly advise that the smell cottage, which was
moved across the road at the canal bridge, be fixed up, with a wide
porch and all painted to rvke it first class - and under no circumstances
should this be leased except from month to month - and I would advise that
It be retained for golf club purposes, and that it should not pass out of
the hinds of the Bay Shore and ;rami Beach Companies, other than as
• stated.
I have re quested t h ,t all Bay Sxore bills pass thr u
Humpa.ge's hands as he will be oar Auditor Por both Companies
this wi_1 save considerable expense and also give us the chock of an
Auditor.
After I have been in Indlana_nolis.for a short time I will `
write you about the financial situation. 'Before I leave I,"will try
and see Mr. Gilman and arrange -that the Bay Shore Company aiu.make a
loan with them - but if this matter should cowl up, take it up with
Lr. Humpage, who is acting as our financial nau and who is thoroly
familiar with all the arrangementS wo are prepared to make. -
