An Old Time Resident Speaks on Our
Park Question.
MANKATo, MINI, March "A, 1890.
EDITOR TINES:

MANKATo, MINI, March "A, 1890.
| EDITOR TINES:
While reading your val
liable paper Of the 18th inst, l was
| agreeably surprised, and still more de-
| lighted, to see an article headed Pub
lie Parks" an important subject too
! long neglected in your attractive and
prospecting city. In the article pub
| lshed you say that at meeting of the
city council the Park Commissioners
made their first report and among 9th
er things recommended improving the
old fenced Washington Park, on 9th
street. The very thing, many years
back. urged and insisted upon ought
to be done, when, with that end IN
view, l made a design of the
Park which hope can yet be found in
your court house. Mr.. Morrison, at
that time treasurer, to whom pre-
sented the plans, can give you full in
formation concerning them. There
| fore, | now bumbly ask the favor from
the Commissioners, that they get the
designs and give them careful eXamln-
alton, and if my plan should meet their
approval, | most earnestly pray the i'm
provement of the beautifully situated
Park, which has from the beginning
had advantages which surpasses human
ingenuity and taste.
If the Commissioners will examine
my plans they will find every necessary
III detail marked 1t shows the natural
surface of the ground with its eleva-
ton, ravires, valleys, with a stream of
running water, lake, 900 feet long,
island in the miniature, bridge, sum
mer house view of the lake, walks, or
namental figures for flowers, shrubbery
and trees, with their botanical names.
Almost every tree and shrub needed,
can be taken along the beautiful Ne
madji river, at a small cost, and be
transplanted the designated places and
if with care the work is done, all low
ers Of fresh air can in three years time
enjoy the pleasure of a prominade in
Park named after the immortal G.
Washington.
The suggestion made by the Commits
sioners of several parks for superior,
is unquestionably good and lau1able,
if it only be carried out to the letter,
but by no means like that which | have
with sorrow seen i'll the city of Denver,
Colorado, where all the parks, or the
grounds which had been reserved for
parks, has been converted into build
ing lots and not single spot has been
spared for Improvement.
Before closing this interesting sub
ject | wish to state that if it is decided
that Washington Park shall be i'm
proved let it be done before any adtli-
tional one is commenced. All parks
cannot be alike, as it depends entirely
upon the formation and location, and
the more they differ from each other
the greater and more pleasing the eff
feet. " TGridio dclcctut " is an old
saying, and cannot be disputed, let the
work, therefore, be done for the ac-
commolation of the masses and to the
qualification especially of the women
and their growing up children.
Respectfully,
