of property 
holders. The 
man possessing 
twenty acres 
must contrib¬ 
ute $200 annu¬ 
ally, and he hasa 
voting strength 
of twenty, in de¬ 
termining how 
the money shall 
be spent. 
The present 
taxable acreage 
of Llewellyn 
Park, out of a 
total area of 
nearly a thous¬ 
and acres, is less than seven hundred, but not all 
of this land pays its share. In the original 
deed, when property came under the park 
covenant, it was stipulated that at the end of 
a year of non-payment, the ground could be 
put up for sale, this being a much shorter 
period than usually allowed by State law. 
The actual revenue of Llewellyn Park aver¬ 
ages barely four thousand dollars a year. At 
this writing, a suit is under way against one of 
the residents, to compel him to pay his back 
taxes, his defense being that the agreement, 
as put in the 
original park 
covenant, is 
illegal in form. 
Several thous¬ 
and dollars are 
involved, as 
other park 
dwellers have 
been awaiting 
the court’s de¬ 
cision before 
acting. When 
Llewellyn 
Haskell andhis 
friendsput their 
land together, 
the park cove¬ 
nant that protected it declared that this annual 
maintenance tax was to be a lien on the 
property. No building in the park was to 
be used as a shop, factory, slaughter-house 
or other place of industry. No house was 
to be erected upon less than one acre of 
ground. There were no restrictions placed 
upon the use of roads by residents—in that 
day automobiles were not dreamed of. By 
voluntary agreement among the members, 
there are no fences in the park, except around 
outbuildings. Stone walls and hedges are
