Mr. Kast made the inspection at the suggestion of tlio State Board of I Education.

A prominent resident of Bellevuc Park, says: My reasons for building in Bellevuc Park are nianv. It is the highest part of Harrisburg and well drained. It is the healthiest and in summer the coolest. It is most beautiful, only the river front vying with it in loveliness. Its streets are not, and never will be, disfigured by poles and wires. It is restful, away from the noise and dust which fill the streets of our city,"and is the clean est part because of its distance from the railroads and mills. Ihe large lots, the park reservations in Bellevuc, and the nearness to Reservoir Park insure that there will always be plenty of fresh, pure air; while the restrictions upon the land make it cer tain that no objectionable use can be made of surrounding lots.
