my how memory recalls many incid ents relative to bower avinue which wo have been traversing lately there was lor instance the well beaten path of boys of fifty and sixty or more years ago going to ash in the pond north of the railway line and to swim at the old swlmmln hole at the old railway culvert when the stone parapets were there fishing wh there was a beaten path through this part of the old adams farm seventy five years ago and it was used fa- over half a century then the brass grew over it and fur two reasons the old pond and creek seemed to be about fished out and the growing popu lation made it a nuisance to permit this to be a thoroughfare any longer then jim mcintosh put a lock on the gate which the boys had usually left open or unfastened and there was no longer path across to the old culvert then again for nearly seventy years sent vlcepresutont for canada of uxc i f plt on american inautute of klectrioal engta d ii w t stable for piss ml uebi member of the asociation t
