STONE HARBOR. Mrs Reese P. Risley "and Mrs. Rialey, Seniok; are Imported at Harbor Inn this There is the greatest enthusiasm over the ordinances of Jhe last Council's meeting. Everybody 'realizes that they mean work for all that are here and for hundreds more and that means every bungalow and apartment and boarding house filled, more business doing in the shops; more money in circulation, and, with the protection of the bulkhead and the jetties assured, more high class building along First avenue. The boardwalk like our road bed tf — the mainland will be made for keeps. The filft eost may be high but it will include all that would be spent for replacing and repairs of a cheaper affair for years and years to come. When a boardwalk takes, a tumble it is because the piling is too short and not properly set, and. again, becauae the timber is not properly protected from the toredo. and n storm has a chance to get in its work. No expense' will be spared in getting the best of timber and safeguarding it by the best known methods of creasoting, for our new boardwalk.
