GENTLEMEN: Tie Committee ON Parks, to
whom was ieferred the petition of Nancy r.
vine, John Matthias, Daniel K. Breed, A. 5.
Elicit and others, asking tor the improvement
uf the Irvine park, respectfully report that
they have examined into the subject matter of
the petitioners requHstand made "a personal ex-
animation of the park, and recommend:
First hat the park be improved by The
construction of walks, as the City Engineer
may deem nec essary.
Second-That the City Clerk be authorized
to advertised for bids for the purchase of
fountain 10 be placed in said park, the cost OF
which shall not exceed one thousand dollars,
and that when purchased the City Engneer
shall cause the necessary drainage, to be con
structed by the street force, as will properly
care for the waste water, also for the purchase
of six additional iron benches.
Third-That the st. Paul Gas Light COM
pany be ordered TO place four additional lamps
IN said park, ut such points as the committee
ON Park may order and direct.
Fourth-rhat policeman be kept on duty
in and about said park, from II o'clock noon
until midnight of each day during the summer
season ut least.
The cost of the walks that will be ordered,
will amount to but very little, as the work
Will be done by the street force, the necessary
material for their construction quite handy.
A fountain that will be OF sufficient size
and appropriate for said park can be purchased
for sum not to exceed one thousand dollars,
and which can be p nd for at such reasonable
time us The Council may deem proper,
as your committee are informed
Your committee deem II an absolute necessi-
ty 10 keep Il policeman detailed for duty in and
around said park, its proximity TO Hill ara
Eagle streets makes 1t Il resort for many of the
disreptuable characters who reside IN those
stantly in cha &c of an officer during the sum
mer months, people who reside near and ad.
Joining said park, are deprived of any of its
benefits.
The lighting of the lamps should only he
for the summer months, and under special
contract, the entire cost for the year would be
less than the lighting of two lamps perma-
nently. Very RESPECTFULLY.

Chairman Committee on Park.
