And the three that were nearest him followed with

The San Pedro Park.

wrong should not be perpetuated, no
matter how used we may get to it.
The leasing of the San Pedro park was a
wrong to begin with, but ii was away back in
those times when all municipal affairs were
run for individual benefit. But the day has
come when the rights of the general public
must be considered.
The selfish, short-sighted policy that
prompted our city rulers to dispose of the city
lands, including the springs Of the river-to
retain nothing for the public, to sell all the
public poperty on fifty years credit to few
land sharks, is already beginning to bear its
| fruit.
But when in 1862 or 1863, the city authori-
ties actually rented the only public park it
owned to a private individual it capped the
climax Of its meanness. Duerler was an enter
prising, public-spirited man, and he agreed to
protect the grounds for the rent. In 1864, a
so called regular lease was executed on the
part of the so-called city government for a
term of twenty years. This is the lease that
| it is proposed TO transfer to somebody from
California. This lease is a nudity, as the city
had no right to make it; it being principle
well defined that property once dedicated to
public uses cannot be diverted from such uses
or otherwise appropriated. A lease implies
ownership, and the city in its corporate capa-
city, cannot exercise ownership over public
square or street; the city cannot grant to
Duerler, Kerbel or anybody else, exclusive
privileges over public square, as every citi-
zen is interested in the square and has legal
right to object TO the assumption of ownership
on the part of the corporation. If the city can
lease, it can sell.
But the lease deserves some consideration.
Duerler was to fence in the park with a
substantial fence, which he never did.
lie was to plant 500 trees, which has not
been done.
He was to keep the springs clear. This the
city did at it's own expense for years, and
even paid a monthly allowance for long time
to have the grounds cared for.
In no particular has the so-called lease been
complied with.
There remains but three years of the unex-
PRED lease.
The city council should now take charge oil
the park, and as there is no way to enforce the
uncomplied-with terms of the lease, consider
it dead loss.
The city should at once place the park under
public supervision and begin its improvement,
and preserve the trees, now fast dying out.
The allowing of any private partyto control
this park for personal gain is direct outrage
upon the public.
The party who runs the park will run it as a
public beer garden to make money out of it,
having little regard for the preservation or the
ornamentation of the grounds.
The city Should purchase additional ground
and begin to improve this park.
We call on the aldermen to read the Duer-
Ter lease, and 10 consider this question care
fully before they become a party to the per-
peluation of an old wrong.
