adverse to the whole undertaking.
To purchase the land required for such park and garden
will cost great deal of money, the Improvement of the
ground will add further expense and when finally the park
has been laid and planted there will be annual expend
ture of nsderable necessary to maintain it. Even
concede that there will be corrupt waseu jobs in
connection with the undertaking. and that the rctest
omy will mark every step taken from first to last the cost will
still be matter of serious consideration taxpayers, because
