From the East-end Correspondent. |
Nothing is calculated 20 edd more TO
she beauty of the surroundings Of
Chimboraso Park than the grand. pa
s.illon to be erected there by the Rich
mond Traction Company. The matter
has been pending before the Commit
tee on Grounds for some time past.
Their final action, however, in grant
ing to this company the privilege of
erecting the pavilion and laying their
tracks around the park was fastened
by the great pressure brought to bear
on the committee by the property
owners in this section The Commit
tee on Grounds met at the Chimbora-
70 Park last Monday and after a great
deal of discussion decided to grant
the franchise. The great hitch came
in however through the proposition
of the company to lay single tracks tc
the pavilion to be situated on the
bluff, overlooking the mineral spring
The company is DESTROYS of running I
single loop through the park, while
Col. Cutshaw, the city engineer pro
poses that double tracks should g
around the park to the pavilion.
The committee as we'll as the major
ity of the people are in favor of the lat
ter plan, and their reasons for oppos
ing the single loop proposed by th'
company are expressed in the convic
ton that the public is less liable to en
0enuov their Ives
WHAT IT COSTS.
The total cost OF this philanthropf
enterprise will be not less than $4,000
90. The building itself will be erecte'
according to the plans skillfully exc
cuted and drawn by Mr.. Edgertol
Rogers, one of Richmond's leading ar
chitects. A beautiful etching of tn
building can be seen in the window O
DIR. r. Edgar Shine, corner 28th an.
Broad. It is proposed to build it il
imitation of the famous Dufferin Ter
race at Quebec. Beautifully painteI
fences are likely to be placed along tn
sides Of the tracts with gates at Ger
tain distances apart. This plan is like
~ to work very well and aside from
the simplicity and beauty of its de
sign. it will obviate the possibilities O
accidents.
