Notes of Gossip.
A meeting of Allegheny residents inter-
ested in the new park will be held on Mon
day evening next in the Allegheny Mayors
office. 1t is thought that it will be definitely
decided at this meeting whether or not the
city will purchase the Watson property.
The subscription list will very likely be in
creased somewhat, as many new and promi-
nent names have been added to the list of
interested citizens, and il is thought they
will subscribe literally.
Messrs. Laird & Ray are thinking very Sc
riously oil erecting nine-story building on
their property on Liberty avenue. near
Fifth street, instead OF Il six-story structure
as was first decided upon.
