Garrett Hagen, of the United States Department of Justice, has completed a search at the registry of deeds in Edgartown looking toward the acquisition of Peaked Hill by the federal government for the purposes of a signal station. The hill at present is owned principally by John Wesley Whiting. Preliminary surveys were made some time ago.
Mr. Hagen was assisted by a secretary and representatives of the federal engineers, and was accompanied also by a car and a chauffeur.
