II Is Needed 10 Save the Crystal Falls Driving
Park.
We have been told that move is on
loot to'sell the fence about the driving
park and that It will soon be removed.
The citizens OF Crystal Falls should never
allow this to take place. for. while ii is n
fact that we don't use it the park much,
IL IL also N fact that we have the best
race course on the Menominee range and
local pride, II nothing, should save it,.
With little enterprise it can be made
a source az pleasure TO our people and
profit 20 our business men.
The events a the fifth instant 60 to
prove that Crystal Falls az good athletic
timber, M swift lot of horses. and as
speedy bicycle riders as can be found in
any town Of its size in the upper penin-
Huln and already a move is on foot to
hold field day here this fall, and
the only place we have To carry on
such sports is in the driving park. II
the fence is allowed To go the deal must
TALL through.
THE DIAMOND DRILL makes this sug-
grstion. Let the citizens OF Crystal
Falls form a company without capital
aud incorporate. Limit tho individual
holdings TO ten shares each and voting
privileges 20 twenty-five shares each.
iiaveit understood that no assessments
shall be levied tDr any purpose other than
the purchase of the fence. taxes and any
construction work ordered by at least
three-iourths vote OF all the stock.
This is onIy suggestion and we make it
simply 10 get the matter started. Let
us y II put onr shoulders TO the wheel
