velopment. The double trolley track
is situated in the center of a well
planned avenue 80 feet in width.
There is 30 feet of road at each side
of the track, and a 10 foot sidewalk.
The generous width of this main
street can he pictured when one
considers that the widest sections
of the new concrete Post Road as
laid through Darlen are but 36 feet.
This L‘ovowood road is more than
twice that width.
Covewood, like many other recent
developments in real estate of real.
dential type, is on old estate. Back
years ago it was known as the Wil-
son estate. and in the last century
as the Loretta Burchard estate. lts
grounds saw much activity during
the Revolutionary war and in the
construction of the Wilson Point
concrete road some years ago. can-
non halls of the 18th century were
uncovered.
The fact. that Covewood is in the
first stages of its development is an
advantage to the home seeker.
many good lots are now being of-
fered. While many have been sold.
there are still a good number from
which the purchaser can make his
choice.
Norwslk Men Own It.
Three Norwaik men own Cove-
wood and any one of them will
gladly show the home seeker over
the property. These men are. Sam-
