years ago and nothing said about it.
But times were changed now. If there
were to be park it must be so the peo-
pie could get around it with horse and
carriage. He offered to take the COM
mittee around and show them places for
half the price which would be much
more acceptable to the people.
George DOraD, as a property owner.
was opposed to the scheme. He was not
in favor of any personal attack on the
members of the board. The site was a
beautiful spot, but it was not accessible,
and was in reality business property.
Peter DAILY said park was wanted
dents. Providing the assessment could
be laid right. the people wanted park.
They didn't want to pay $751; 900 or $780,
600 for property-not worth half that
sum.
Crowd Spoke Volumes.
j. A. Amoss thought the crowd spoke
loud enough. Mr.. Lienau's house was
in the center of the site, which was
piled up Oh hill. The people wanted
a park large enough to walk in. Prop
erty put up for park purposes increased
in value as soon as it was considered
available for park purposes. He was a
property owner, and he didn't want to
pay of an assessment merely to beautify
some ones home.
Aid. Franklin said he had a letter
from Davidson. Bayard d Co. offering
tract containing 10 Is acres, as big as
the Lienau tract. for half the amount.
The crowd present ought to be enough
to show that they were not in favor of
the proposed scheme.
MIR Christensen said the street in
front of the park was ornamented with
two or three saloons. The member of
the board who lived in the Sixth ward
should pay attention to the residents of
the the ward. The price was 100000
too much, as no sane Specu-
lator would give $4,000 for
the property. The sentiment of the
people was that if twenty-five persons
could be found in favor of it and it could
be secured at favorable price, why,
then buy it.
Commissioner Horton said the citi-
zeDS had made mistake in attacking,in
personal way, two members of the
board. So far as Mr.. Aberle was con-
ceIned, he knew he had been working
to find out what the people wanted. The
Sixth ward people had demonstra-
ted what they didn't want. If
they woul demonstrate what they
dio want the board might be able
to do something for them. The mem
barS of the board were not boodlerS. and
when the members retired all the
money would be accounted for. They
could go home and rest easy on that
score So far as the board was con-
cerned, it had never been the desire of
the members to injure the people. De-
lay in purchasing the sites had been
mainly through desire not to assess
the people.
People In Error.
Mr.. Aberle said Mr.. Horton had ex-
pressed the matter correctly. A mis-
take had been made by the people of
the Sixth ward Ill selecting spokes
man. 1t was all right to criticiSe the
board, but it should not be done until
after the work was done. He
was was willing to be criticised by
the people for any official acts.
but he would not allow them to do it
through a man of MI. YOerg'S standing
in the community. He intimated that
if he wanted he could tell something
damaging concerning Mr.. 4oerg, but he
would not do it.
E. E. Mcdonald said it was unfortu-
nate anything personal had been said.
The people nal, however, the idea that
their wishes were diSregarded. MIR.
Aberle had stated that if it had not been
for his efforts the Lienau park scheme
would have been pushed through.
The people in the Sixth ward believed
that the board was i'll favor of the Lie
nau park. Tie protests signed by
property owners in the ward and sent
to the board had not been paid atten
ton to, and this might account for the
attacks made on the board.
Mr. I,ar. 10 tori ta n n
member the protests had been -hanuea
MIR. Mcdonald said he didn't know
who had handled the protests. He Cad
been Informed the objections had been
miSlaid before they reached the board.
Mr.. Petsch wanted to know how the
Idea came out that all the members
were in favor of the scheme as it was
called.
Mr.. Mcdonald quoted Mr.. Aberle'S
story about what Dale had said at a
meeting.
Mr.. Aberle said again that Mr.. Dale
said one night to him that il he Mr..
Aberlel would vote for it that night it
would go through. As to who the other
member was, MIR. Dale had not told him.
A. j. Amoss said it was rumored III
the Sixth ward that the change was
made i'll the personnel of the board be
cause the scheme was not pushed ahead
fast enough.
Mr.. Bredenhagen said he had no inter-
est in any park site. He thought it was
uncalled for to say he was connected
with any scheme regarding parks.
The subject tnereupon dropped and
the deputation withdrew.
Park Policemen.
The superintendent reported much
damage done to walks and park i'm
preyements during the last rain storm.
1t would cost $500 to repair damages.
The superintendent also recommended
| that Como avenue, from the intersection
OF Union street to Lake Como boulevard,
| distance of 500 feet, be wdened out to
| 120 feet and put in shape so as to allow
| access to the boulevard around the lake.
| With view to show the necessity for
| park policemen the superintendent re-
| ported S1,55S worth of movable property
in the parks, not counting tools, foun-
tainS and flowers. The custOdIanS
could not be required after working all
day to do police duty at night, and for
I this reason he recommended the en-
| ployment OF the park police.
| Mr.. BredenlIagen and the Superin-
tendent were directed to acquaint the
board of aldermen with the necessity of
| having policemen in the parks.
Richard Lehman offered to sell to the
