To ant you at leal ri'KardlUK Mm Woodward paik

morn than two montna aito and was then ap
proved. Tim matter of appraisement w.'h then
placed In Mm IihiuIh of the Ttllaa leal eatatn nx

Dan Davidson then made Mm appraisement of
$311,000. Tim matter wiih then referred to tlm
idly rummlHalnn and Mm city attorney hi whoae
lunula It ban been since.
Our decision to Hell this small strip of Hevrn
ucrea. which Ih without trepH mid la almost a
Hand pile, caiun after hovpii ynara of effoit by
various park boardH to obtain money with
which to Improve thla park. I iikicp with you
that thn policy of aellltu; park land Ih not it
L-nod pulley and wn have followed that lima
Just aa far an wn rould but after aeven dofeata
In our efforlH to obtain levy aid for thla park
we fell that we weie Justified In dolni; thu heat
we could to obtain funda with which to plnco
Mm remaliiliiK L".l acres on a par with the beau
tiful homes and yarda that are now surroumllnK
tlm nark.
While thn Tuls.i park department dnea not
own half iih much land an It should own, .vet
when onnaldeilni; Ita opportunity to care for
what It docs own, thla department la land poor.
Last .Inly we naked for IHfi.AOn from the ex-

ward mid Lincoln parks and to help clean out
Hip underbrush and make unable thn too ucrea
aiiitouudiiu; Mm wnterwnrkH. Wo did not Ret
one cent finm Htm request and that Ih Just
what haa happened year after year for Mm past
Hlx yeai'M In my certain knowledge. In addl
tlou tn that, our estimates on funds needed to
maintain tho p.irka waa cut to thn very quick
If you havo over tried to keep up a small yard
on a par with what you expect of parka you will
jeiilUe Just what this means with labor anil
materials at Mm prima they arn now. During
this hIv ynara we havo had to uo maintenance
money for any ImprnveinentH wp unimrtnok
theieby lelardliiK maintenance and only per
mlttliiB half hearted Improvements In any of tho
pm ka.
I have many complalnlH about tho pavement
In Owen park. It would coat morn money to
properly pave thla road than the park depart
ment was Klven tu maintain all tlm parks In
Tlllaa thin year. This Ih but nil example.
I dn not find fault with Mm excise board or
any other body of men fur thla condition except
the raci that OKlaliuma iiiih no park lawa. I
devoted wreka nf my Minn before thn Oklahoma
lcKlHlatliro at two different apaalons prpHPntlnc
Plena for park lnilirovemenlH which .lohn Mo-
aerve mid John Woodward helped to formulate
durltii; tho Simmons administration. AIHioiirIi
wn worn Riven every puaalldn aid by our own
rnprranntatlvea In tho legislature, yet tlm.so nt-
trmpta fulled.
I feel now that I have nerved in v time In
thlH wnrk- yet I believe that my experience of
alx yeaia In park service haa taiiKht me some
thliiKH which may be of aid to thoso wdio are to
take up this burden ami If you will permit I will
present u roHiitno of what must be dutm before
Tubal ran ever hope to have any park system.
In tlm first pl.ico wn must have a atato park
law like the laws or .Missouri, Illinois or any
other of the atatea wherein Mm cities build
p.wkM. This law must nut place tho whole bur
den of condemnation coat on tlm pirk Hystm
hut must also in count tho IniprnvenmntH that
pome tn adjoining property. Thn city should be
divided Into park districts ami tlm lunds tn im
prove parka In a district should com from tha
illstilet. ThlH becauan the people who live In
dlstrlctH that have Improved parka have alwaya
mid will alwujH object to taxes tn improve parka
In other dlatrli'ta. The park department alinuli
be on mi Independent basis Just iih the a ho d
hoard mid should have park authority over a
district coverluc more territory than tlm i 'tv
limits thereby porinlttlnK them o work abei il
of city IniprovpinchtH ami act a pnen Instead nf
following. If the park department could li.iv
bought property a mile or two out would
have had twice the pieyent .irrpace we now
hold for the aame amount of money. There Is
no need to hope that park board o fu men
ran aneompllah these uoppaaary IcnaV-r haiigpH
Niich can come only from Hm acl've aid nf
l.irKo body of t Itliens who are willbus to do

niunltira of Oklahoma that this Htato must have
