A meeting was held in the Taber- nacle, Thousand Island Park, Satur- day night of about 200 cottage own- ers to consider the future of the park. From the discussion it ap- pears that E. T. Shepard, who owns a majority of the stock of the asso- ciation, has entered into contract with Charles Collier, to sell - his stock to Collier on this contract. Collier has paid $1,000 and he has until October 1st to pay the balance of the $20,000. Collier has tried to sell the stock to the cottage owners, but has not succeeded in doing so. To facilitate the transfer in case the cottage owners decided to buy, Col= lier assigned the contract to' his wife | who is at the park. After extended discussion by "he | cottage owners no motion was made {to buy the Shepard-Collier stock and! {so no action. was taken. It does not seem. probable that the contract would be fulfilled in the time speci- fied and if it is mot Mr. Shepard will Men in St. River. . \ teontinue the owner of the! 'stock.

This option expires | Octo r 1st.
