The
Mr. Pickels moved the odt-piiou of the report,
sud spoke mi it« tafoc. lie stud that the subject
of « Public Park had been mooted for years but
nsrar been dcduitely acted upon. Tsu years
ago, four sqnares of land above Adams street, were
ollsrsd to th* city for (16,500, bat now that price
was doubled ; and if ws wait five years longer, it
wilt be doubled agaia.
Mr. Finegan said that fie was in favor ot having
a Public Park, if the ground could be purchased
at a reasonable figure ; but b* entered bis protest
against this immense purchase, and the immense
expense, which wonld be menrred in fitting up the
ground properly for Park purposes As the rep
resentative of four-fifths of the tax-payers
Ward, srbo wer« of the «am* opinion, he was op
posed to it Jif also doubted the rigbt of Council
to create snch n debt In this manner. If it desired
improve the Water Works, even to tho extent
ol only 420,OUU. application must he made to the
Legteutarc. If it dssiiuil to chugs th* grade of
th* mostatumpoi tsut .trust, apubüc meeting must
b* exiled. Aud yet; this immense purchase is lo
be mada Vy thw body, simply on Gtair own re
sponsibility, aud without au j expression of the
people on tbe sahjeot. The whole cost of this im
provement would amount to (300,()09, Mid be be
lieved that before adopting this report, the opin
ion ef the City Solieitor should be received, and a
vote of the people obtained.
Mr. Picket* maintained that the mass of the j>eo
pie favored the Park project.
Mr. Lynch aaid although ho was a member of
the Park Uommitto*, ha could not sign the report,
or vote for its adoption. Having at heart the in
terests of the workingmen, who compsiaed four
fifths of our papulation, he could not vote to in
crease their tax««, by making
which they would derive lift!
Look at th* l'arka of other cities, beautiful aud
pleasant anougb te be euro, but difficult of eeceas
to three of limited means, and patronized mainly
by those of wealth aud lauure. Gazing upon tbaa*
beautiful Parka in tea large cities, and then upon
tbe unitary oondition of th* inhabitants, tbe can
did observer cannot help thinking that tb* money
used iu producing these resorts would have been
fat more appropriately expended in clcaniug tbe
flltby, dirty streets. And so with Wilmington. —
Let tho Park money be appropriated to tbia or
aunts other useful purpose, and the majority of the
people would be bcncfltted in a far greater mea
sure, than by an expensive public Park. Go aak
the poor working man if ha want« to be taxed lor
a public Park, and bis answer will be, "no." It
requires tho utmost frugality, on bit part, to meet
hi* ordinary expansés, and procare tb* necessaries
of Ufa, aad tb* payment of nia taxes is a grievous

ed that nt lean $20,000 of tills Money would te
made ky the •'rinjr within the ring."
Mr. iVbigcr said he tbouffht the prices were
vory high, but they would never be lower, and
tira land must lie bought. It this thing had
been done before the rlty assessment, It would
have made a difference of from (:i00,003 to
>300,000 in the assessment of property in the
Ninth Ward alone. The tax on this would
amount to 15.000, which would pay onc-haif
of the annual Instalment. Land on the lower
side of the creek would also bo Increased in
value, which would makn a corresponding
Increase of taxation. He favored a
park for purely practical reasons. All of our
drinking water comes from the Itrandy wine,
and if llie ground proposed to he purchased is
allowed to he built up, all the drainage will
flow into the creek and mingle with our drink
ing water. He mentioned the existence of
the poisoned fish in the creek, as an evidence
that we must do anything to keen our watt r
pure. We must not allow this thing to go by.
Two years ago, one of these tracts coulu have
obtained for >600 per acre; now the price
asked is (000. It must be done now, or in a few
years it will cost ten timesas much. We could
readily get along without «park, hut lids piece
must be purchased for the purpose of keep
ing our water pure.
Mr. Hayes thought
should be protected, but that It would he net
essary to go beyond tbe mills to do this proper
ly. lie was in favor of a park, but objecter!
to it at present, on account or the . wretched
financial condition of thirdly. lie also thong! t
it very strange that parties should ask (l.oso
per acre, for land that was assessed for only
(.500. He was opposed to the report, for two
reasons: because the land is not worth what is
asked for it, ami because tho city cannot af
ford it at prêtent.
Further remarks Were made in favor of I ho
report by Messrs. Baker and Kichaidson, and
in opposition by Mr. Finegau. The report
was then adopted, by the following vote:
Ayes—Messrs. Baker, Canby, Fähiger,
