Park Commissioner.---
Samm 1 Ha.-!ings and
T. J. Kerth, have in view certain im
provemen's at St .Mary's pari; which,
if curie! o-ii, m ill result in on;- of
the prettiest park in tlie country.
V.'heihT or nnt such imprivemeuts
are made without delay depends en
tirely upon the action of the city
council til t,e meeting to be held
nct Tuesday night. At this meet
ing the par's commissioners will pe
tiiion tli-? council to allow them to
hive a vottion of the propo.-ed work
completed at once. To do this it will
t lie
to issue anticipation

bavinL.ts fddy be?n expended and
the Vmrti'of Trading and filling the
park IV-..ig as y.t uncomplete. This
Is what the park commissioners will
ask of t'ue city council, and the grant
ing or the petitr will mean the im
mediate resum;! Jn of filling and
grading of the Vtwer portion of the
park on the outside of the driveway.
This filling and grading will extend to
the park fence and probably several
feet beyond. The present fence will
b torn away and will be replaced
upon the grade or fill. When the fill
is completed shade trees and shrub
bery will be planted along the fence
and over the portion wiiere there
are no trees.
The reason for filling beyond, the
fence lin" is that the future pl:n:
are to surround the entire park with
a wall;, probably of concrete, wh'c.i
will m'd greatly to the looks of the
park l wi'l r.fTord a place to stroll
;n pi vi: ant vimnier afternoons and
evening-: li.-ter.Ing to the music r

Anotr.-r future plan is to grade th

Mary's park and sincelk M time seats
have been placed thiin and the
place has gradually grown In favor
with persons who desire to spend a
few hours 1n the afternoon beneath
the shade of the beautiful trees. The
pavilion is now used almost nightly
for dancing purposes, during which
time crowds gather and enjoy listen
ing to the music nnd watching U13
dancers. It is almost a daily occur
rence for a party of young folks to
spuid the day In the nark, carrying
their lunch baskets and cooling
drinks. For the accommodation of
such parties wooden tables and bench
es have been built and placed in (lif
erent portions and around some of
the larger trees wooden se?.ts have al
so been constructed.
