Kingston, Nov. 30.--(To the Edi- tor): In view of the by-law to be submitted for raising $9,000 towards purchasing the property on Division street known as the Murdock farm, I [think it only right that the citizens {should know exactly what the by- law me The public notice gives no information as to why this pur- [chase 1s a desirable one. I succeed-| ed in 1887 in purchasing the falr | grounds property from the govern- ment at a nominal price and as soon 13 the sale was complefed to the | Frontenac agricultural association, of which I was president, a company { was formed called the "Midland Ag-| {ricultural Association," and the pro- | perty sold to it; this association dis-| {posed of. a part of the property but | Iretained for exhibition purposes the! [lagd at present enclosed, now owned | bythe city. I was always opposed to | |a sale of the exhibition grounds per- haps as I had a sentimentdl feeling, | having not only purchased the land' {originally but was instrumental in | erecting the buildings. If, however, in the near future the public desire {a sale of the grounds I might. in this [connection give an idea of its value. ! | The property consists of about 23! |acres divided into 84 full lots of one-! | fifth of an acre each or 168 lots of 133 by 132 feet, these if sold at $300 | would net about $50,000. We must | have exhibition grounds and the {only available place for the purpose | is the Murdock property on Division | street now offered to the city for 189,000. The property comprises | | forty-three acres, it is convenient to {both rallways, the C.P.R. in fact | crossing one corner of it, the street | railway line on Montreal street is convenient to it, nearer I think than | | Princess street is to the present (grounds. If we take the value of the | | lots the city would have a surplus of [about $41,000 at its disposal," I |favor a. purssase of the - Murdock | | propgrty for two reasons, firstly, the city would have a property suitable for any industries that _may wish to PIANO TUNING | Plano Tuning, Hepairing anda Player 'Plano Adjusting.
