Our city. i like most cities and towns. has a con- .stantly grnuing expense account without a correspondingly growing income, and at the present time has more to do with its money than it has money to do with. : and what little monev is spent on this park comes out of the street and alley t tund where it is sorely needed. The con- sequence is that the park is usually neg- lected.,not because the city wants it so, . but because it hasnotunds to devote to it.

The answer to this queuion that has been giveu the writer is. “That in all very well. but you fellows on the em dd: are likely m close the park to west siders it we give you authority over it whereas now it have some rights there", Could any- thing be more absurd? The Hark Board could no more deprive the whole public M the use of the pork than it could take away the lake. The land was originally dedicated to the city for “park purposes only” and if the city used the land for any other purpose or permitted its use for any other purpose the land would re- vert to the OHM owners. Thr same thing has been dohe with the small park at the end of Ravine Drive and the legalily of that act has never been questioned.
