stock, of which the late 
Mr. Lorillard’s share 
has passed to his son 
and two daughters. 
In line with the 
general policy thus 
indicated, the 1 uxedo 
Park Association has 
studied in detail how 
to safeguard not only 
its own interests but 
those of the residents. 
The contract provides 
that within one year 
from purchase, a 
dwelling whose mini¬ 
mum cost is regulated 
by the size and loca¬ 
tion of the plot, shall be erected. I he deed 
forbids its use as a place of business, an estab¬ 
lishment for the manufacture or sale of liquor 
or beer, or a boarding house or hotel, under 
penalty of reversion to the Association. No 
building may be put up until the plans have 
been approved by the Association. Fences 
are prohibited, dividing lines being marked 
by stone walls or hedges. No use of the 
dwelling is permitted “which shall be noxious 
or dangerous to health, or disagreeable to resi¬ 
dents within the Park.” Stables may be 
placed only upon separate plots, along certain 
secluded roads reserved for them, and they

may be occupied only by coachmen or other 
male servants. 
The water supply comes from Tuxedo 
Lake, a beautiful mere fed by springs, and 
lying, as the map shows, northeast and south¬ 
west. It is one and three-quarters miles long 
and has a maximum width of half a mile, with 
depth of sixty feet and an area of about three 
hundred acres. 
Its surface is 550 feet above sea level, and 
130 feet higher than the Tuxedo railway sta¬ 
tion. 1 he water is pumped into a standpipe 
350 feet above the lake, 80 feet high and 50 
feet in diameter, containing 750,000 gallons. 
The tw T o Worthington 
pumps have a daily capac¬ 
ity of 2,500,000 gallons. 
The lake can supply water 
at either end. 1 his sys¬ 
tem gives ample force and 
quantity of water, except 
to a few houses on 1 ower 
Hill, or on the opposite 
range, for which auxiliary 
devices are necessary. 
More than twelve miles of 
mains have been laid, vary¬ 
ing from one to twelve 
inches in diameter. 1 he 
water is pure and cold; in 
the winter, the lake supplies 
unlimited ice, which is 
stored and sold by the 
Association to cottagers.
