The improperly OF establishing a rail-
road belt between the city and Liberty
Park needs no lengthy argument.
The park and its vicinity is the favor
te resort. People visit it during the
summer season, In thousands, and
scores OF hundreds drive there daily.
Instead of allowing another road TO
use EighthSOuth Street, the road which
already uses il ought to be induced in
