George F. Willett speaking to the Wilson Street Improvement Association on Wednesday night told that group that the plans for Homewood were all set and that work would be started shortly.

Outlining the plans for this development, Mr. Willet described the large areas set aside for community gardens, and the layout of the some 300 house lots in the plans.

The near accessibility of the Willett Pond recreational area, he said, would make this development one of the most attractive available.

The association after a brief business session, enjoyed a social time with the auction of box lunches one of the principal features.
