PARK GUARD COYLE MILL RESIGN.
The Commission Decides That His Salary
Would Give Better Results In Manure.

Tho condition Of Kirkwood Park, the
East Side breathing spot which has cost
the city so much and has turned out so
little, was the theme OF discussion at the
monthly meeting Of the Park Commission
held yesterday afternoon. Mayor Short
lidEe was very emphatic in his views as
TO this plot Of barren ground, with its
consumptive trees, and starved grass
plots and urged that steps bs ta4o to
make IL look little more like park
He suggested that the soil could be i'm
proved by top dressing OF manure or
lime, as an encouragement 20 the grass
to grow, and sarCastically remarked that
an umbrella, which could bs purchased
for a dollar, would give more shade than
the twelve trees which cost the city $500
lie further suggested that the man now
in charge Of the park be dismissed and
bis salary spen. IN euriohing tho ground
President Cauby agreed with his honor
that the park was la very disreputable
condition, and that something should be
done 90 improve 30. As II now stands
neither grass nor trees will grow In the
soil, and it does not look az though they
ever would. He was Ia favor Of planting
trees there, bus not Of Transporting any
more large trees.
Mayor shortildge's suggestion, that
some Of the ash trees now growing above
The fish ponds be tranaplauted to the
park, met with general Enforcement
