MEETING OF THE PARK COMMISSION

Committees Appointed to Make Selections
of Ground for FiUe Parks.
The meeting of the park commissions
at the Office of Fletcher & Loring, was
called to order at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning with President Loring as chair
man. The following commissioners were
present: Cross, Haugan, Morrison, Nelson,
Eastman, Mosre, Bassstt, Bracket and
Pillsbury.
The first business transacted was the
election of S. b. Chute, vice o. G. Merri-
man and E. III. Wilson, to fill the vacancy
caused by their resignation rendered at the
last meeting.
Loring, Brackets and Wilson were then
appointed as a committee to select and
report the probable cost of tract of
about fifty acres in the vicinity of Jehn-
sons lake comprised in the Yale tract, to
be known as the Yale park.
Commissioners Wilson, Pillsbary and
Chute were appointed to negotiate for a
park in the East division.
A committee consisting of Commission
ers Cross, Bracket and Hangar, to report
ward, to be known as the South Minneap-
oils park.
Commissioners Eastman, Morse and
Oswald for like duty in the northern part
of the city.
A committee consisting of Commission
ers Cross, Morse and Bracket were given
the duty of looking up grounds in the vi
ciaity of the lakes.
The attention of the commission WIGS
called to the fact that the tract
of land in South Minneapolis
known as the Murphy park, has remained
in condition which is a disgrace to the
city, and has been since its dedication to
the city in 1857. Residents in that part of
the city seem to be against the purchase
and improvement of new parks until some
steps are taken towards the improvement
of the park so long lying idle, and which
was gift to the city.
The commission then adjourned to meet
next Tuesday at Fletcher & Loring's Office,
