Electric light and ' power plants, gas mains, water supply 1 and sewage systems, paved sidewalks. '

( valves also the double tracking of the trolley line, the laying of needed ' switches and the construction of a new j ' and complete station. The plans for j 1 the station building are by Freeburg & | ' FVEer. architects, of Jamestown. N. Y. j j There will be a double track in front I ' and a switch to the rear for freight, bag- ! gage and express. Hie building will be ! . 66 by 225, built of red brick, stone and i ' concrete. The design will harmonize with the present permanent Institution buildings, with red tile roof nnd wide. 1 projecting eaves. The outside passen- 1 ger platform will be 28 by 72, so ar- 1 ranged that outgoing and incoming traf- 1 flc may be separated. On tbe inside will ' be tbe Institution ticket office with in- ' coming add outgoing passes, tbe exchange office, news and candy stands and the rest room for ladies. Toilet , t inside and outside, will be x provided for both sexes. Adjoining t the traction ticket office will be tbe t baggage department with checking t and transfer offices, the freight de- t pertinent and the express department, c &n to have ample platform space for e

Tbe planum? | of this addition has been done by ! George Y. Skinner, a specialist con nected with tbe New York firm of ] Samuel Parsons & Co.. landscape architects. The Chautauqua High 8chool. tbe Id stltntlon Garage and car perking place, the excellent Chautnuqua golf links and the industrial center £Jini>rising repair shops of various kinds arc located west of the Chautauqua enclosure on tbe highway and trolley Une.

year -round office buikllugs of fire proof or alow burning construction are among the things that one by one have ■epplanted the enriler makeshifts. Over • quarter of a million donors Is Just Bow being expended to present the assembly to 1916 visitors in Its new Moaracter as a permanent institution, •eflnltely come to stay. The Chautauqua assembly at Chan- ! tmQua, N. Y., will this summer offer ] to the visitor's view two Important ' and striking improvements in two ap- I Broaches — the water gate or pier, where wDl enter the visitor coming by. steamboat from other points on Lake Chautauqua, and the land gate, where will totter the visitor coming by trolley ' ttom any direction or by motorcar over ' the excellent highway which connects ' with the great east and west thoroughfare at Westfleld, N. Y. Chautauqua's Naw Land Gats. I The general highway Improvement is 1 the most extensive enterprise now un- ' der way at Cbautanqna. N. Y. This 1 has been secured by generous cooperation with Chautauqua Institution- on 1 the pert of the State of New York, the 1 county of Chautauqua and the Chau- 1 tan qua Traction Company operating ' the electric railroad from Jamestown 1 to Westfleld. It "comprises a modern passenger station, doable tracking of 1 tbe trolley line, a new brick paved 1 highway and important changes in the 1 boundaries of the Assembly enclosure. ' Plans were made In 1913 by the State ' for the Improvement of the highway. 1 A magnificent new state road is now ' opes through MayvUle to Westfleld. 1 connecting with the greet roadway 1 oast and west known to all antomo- ' bfllsts. Tbe Une of the highway At 1 Chautauqua was changed and straight. ' seed and paved with brick. This 1 change has made possible the addition 1 ot a considerable acreage to the lot and < park space of the Institution. It in- 1

loading and unloading. Work has al- , j ready been begun, so .as to assure com- I , j pletlon before the, season opens. Tbe icost of the structure will be some $30.- j 000 and Incident}! Improvements by the Traction Company perhaps $10,000 j | additional. The Institution has expended for land | and buildings and for the Improve- j ments made over $40,000. The special ' piece of brick highway has cost the ] state and county $17,000. while the : Traction Company expenditures, as Just ! Indicated, will aggregate at least $40.- I 000. For a quarter of a century the water j gate was the principal and almost the only entrance to Chautauqua, and It | will be remembered for Its natural pic- 1 tnresque beauty by every one who has visited tbe assembly during the past forty-two years. More recently, since the development of the electric railway and since the automobile has become Important a factor, tbe roadgate has received the larger share of visitors, yet It has had nothing to suggest the real character of Chautauqua. It has like tbe railroad approach to a town, a back door entrance, eowded and comfortless, without character or convenience. Tbe change in the highway and trol line has made available to tbe In- ' stltntlon a tract about 4.000 feet long, varying in width from 10 to 300 feet, nearly thirteen acres, and brings the total area within the enclosure op to about 200 acres. Tbe new section Is laid out Into eighty-eight lots and Into park Tbe lots thus made available for leese are somewhat larger »mn the older Chautququa lots. Two of the streets formed are named Harper and Massey avenues, to commemorate services to Chautauqua by Dr. "William Harper of the University of Chi en - and the Massey fam«y of Toronto. this extension about two acres have been added to the present playground

Mr._Pack ard is tbe son of the late Warren D. Packard, -one of the pioneer summer ' residents of Chautauqua Lake and one * of those influential in the development ' ' of Lakewood several years ago. The property which Mr. Packard c has bought lies between the Chautauqua Traction Company's line and the lake and along the north boundary of 1 tbe Chautauqua Institution enclosure, j From this particular i>olnt tliere Is an * r unexcelled view from Mayville on tbe t ; north to Long Point on the south, and F It is undoubtedly one of tbe most deslrable residence sites of the entire , lake region. The house is to be three stories high. r of brick, stone and steel construction, j red tile roof, absolutely fireproof. It is 1 set in a grove of elms, which surround - it on all sides but one, that facing tbe j lake. Directly to the south of the residence gardens are planned, terminating In ■ '' wild growth of shrubbery, threaded * with trails leading to the docks and boathouse. to an artificial waterfall. _ a Mly pond, tennis courts and vegetable gardens. A cottage for the gatekeeper and ten- - aata is now under construction, and F other buildings win adjoin this cottage. ' The landscape work has been done under the direction of Mr. H. L. Avery p of Cleveland. Eighty-four full grown trees, mostly elms, have been trans planted by Mr. Herbert L. Hyatt ol al Cleveland, forester, who has trans — formed an uninteresting, bare hillside F Into a well wooded slope. A great quantity of small planting is also be- j. lng done. The Packard residence when com j." pleted will probably represent an ex pendlture close to $175,000. ^

Larger Hot* I Accommodations at Chautauqua, Among the many excellent boarding houses at Chautauqua, that erected this winter by Mrs. A. J. Lewis apd known as the St. Elmo will command attention. It is a handsome and commodious new structure and by its ar ttetie blending into the general archl tectural scheme of the central plaza is a real ornament to the place. It will contain many steam heated rooms with private baths. Mrs. Lewis has shown very positive faith in the future ol Chautauqua.
