| Charles Mullally, chairman of the marine
committee, is planning many improvements along the lake front. New
floats will be built and plans are being made for an increasing number
of swimming events during the summer. "Bob" Clifford, who has been
counselor at the Knolls for a number of years, is expected back on his
old job July 1.
The tennis court is being placed in condition under the supervision
of Albert Jenks and will be in play within a few days.
Arthur Witte is chairman of the house committee. He promises an
active season and an early start will be made in getting up competition
for a shuffle board contest which will be played during the summer.
Vice president John McFadden is looking after the ball field. The
club promises to have its field in the best shape this year. It has been
enlarged, graded and should be in good condition by Decoration Day.
Another improvement at the Knolls will be the removal of the
boardwalk from the clubhouse to the lake front. The walk will be
replaced with a tarvia walk and on either side flower beds will be
planted. It should make a fine approach to the club.
Many boats are already in the water. Charles Mullally was the first
to put his boat overboard. Others having taken the plunge are Wallace
Odell and Edward Harbolic. All the boats will be in before Decoration
Day.
Ground has been broken for the cabin on Crest Drive for Mr. and Mrs.
Charlie Jaeger of Rockville Center, Long Island.
A contract has been let to Charlie Minck for the log lodge for the
Majors of White Plains which will be located just south of the Jaeger
place.
The Kragle cabin is nearly completed and will soon be occupied. What
a view from that porch!
John O'Hara's cottage is pretty nearly completed. There is a rumor
that John is to be married in the fall and will carry his bride over the
threshold of her new home.
Quick time was made by Clarence Bristol building Ruth Clark's cabin
high on the hillside at the Knolls. Miss Clark is now busy hanging
draperies and other doo-dads.
Karl Ehmer's cottage, which is being built by Axel Bergmark, is going
to be a dandy addition to the colony. It should be completed in about
three weeks now.
The cabin for the Kenney's of Greenwich is going along rapidly. Mr.
Kenney prides himself on having the finest dogwood tree on Candlewood.
There are six or eight more places in the plan and figure stages and
there will be a very busy season of building at the Knolls. |
