A Be'sutsful location. and n Liberal
Proposition.


A BeantiTaI location. and "a LiberaI
Proposition.
A few days ago We referred to a site for a
public park on the grounds of Mrs. A. V.
Brown. We are not aware that distin-
guished lady has made any direct PROPOSE
tion to the City Council on the subject, but
if she has not, we trust she will DO so at an
early day. Spreading between her resi-
dence and the Franklin turnpike and the
Nashville and Decatur railroad, is a plot
OF one hundred acres, covered with the
finest forest trees. The ground ia high and
| picturesquely undnlating, with beautiful
| perennial stream flowing through it, skirted
| by narrow yalley of surprising beauty
and fertility. From the highest point the
| city IL IN plain view, and seems TO be al
| your feet, and Your view meets the tower
ing capitol on a level Fhe grounds are
| set IN blue grass and the wild shrub
| berry, with the forest trees covered with
| grape-vines, leaves little for art to
| add to nature 10 make it the most delight
fnl place of resort to city population. A
| direct line from the terminus of the South
Nashville street railroad will reach IL with
| in a mile, and the Nashville and Decatur
read runs within two hundred yards of it. |
1t is the most accessible to the majority of
the city people, and is in all respects ad-
mirably adapted to the purpose desired.
We are informed that this property can
be purchased by the city on easy terms, or
lease the grounds for term of years, until
the city may be in a condition 10 buy. So |
that we have an opportunity for park,
most advantageously located, and with lit
tie or no present outlay. We trust that
the committee of the City Council will not
fail to consider this offer before deciding
finally on the sabject of park.
