Trustee johnson, to whom was referred
the petition of Geo. w. Hancock, in behalf
of the State Agricultural Association, for the

ed that after considering the question he had
concluded that granting the request might
engender feeling of displeasure on the part
of those having stables in the vicinity of the
Park, who also took horses in training and
who had to have water. He said there was
balance of $40 now due from the Society to
the city for laying down water pipe through
the Park, according to bargain by which
the Association agreed to pay for the work of
laying the pine if the city would furnish the
same, and which the city did. Mr.. johnson
therefore proposed that the amount be remit
ted to the Association, but that the parties
using water at the Park be required to pay
average of thirty horses and ten men at the
Park at all times. The report was received
and laid over for further action.
