    J.E. Beyer has just completed extensive improvements on the hillside in front of his home. One hundred and twenty-five terraces, surfaced with concrete, have been constructed, covering the entire hillside area. The terraces are all occupied by iron seats especially built to fit the terraces. A handsome drinking fountain stands at one of the rear corners with pure cold water brought from Mr. Beyer's private well. At another corner a large birdbath has been erected.
