We are trying to put Dugger Park in playing condition and are doing all in our power to make it as nice as, any of our own parks." Mr. Wellington, who is chair man of the board of park com missioners, also informs us that Medford will be unable to put up our requested wire fence along the river, because of lack of funds. He adds: "I would suggest that you con tact the Metropolitan District Commission, as they might have enough money in their accounts to do this work." The Chronicle city reporter passes this word along to those most interested in the building of our community, this being our duty. The fence in question, or hoped for, is an attractive painted wire fe nee along the park playing area, near the water s edge.
