from the contingent fund of the de
partment, the remainder to be met
from the proceeds of a sale of old
instruments formerly used by the
board of public works. The job, In
Mr. Lynch's opinion, should not re
quire more than a couple of weeks if
conditions are favorable.

tween the toe of the cmbansment and
the eastern edge of the granolithic
walk, Is more than a hundred feet
wide at some points and some 2700
yards of earth were used to fill in the

In order to present a green appear

alternately with oats, rye and timothy
together with the grass seed.
