The liberal proposition OF Mr.. Johnson
10 donate one hundred trees and plants
to the public park certainly will not be
allowed to drop. 1t must be remembered
that this is a proposal to put in plants
nearly ten years old, and which could not
be duplicated for five times the money
that would be paid for young trees and
shrubs. The park question is one OF the
most important matters before the city
today. 1t is not so much the immediate
results to be obtained; it is not that any
one expects to obtain a finished play
ground for use this summer-parks are
never finished-it is not that there is an
idea on the part OF the most ardent sup
porters OF the scheme that much money
can. or will, be spent this season or I'M
any single year on its improvement But
there is well-founded belief that a re-
spectacle showing can be made before
the time arrives when such a public i'm
provement will be an absolute necessity.
Then land will be high and town lots for
such a purpose will cost money. Now
there are several property owners ready
to donate site If there is any assurance
made that a beginning will be made for
its Improvement on a permanent and
broad scale This is the year Of all others.
and now is the time Of year to make the
beginning In few days, comparatively.
the railroad will be finished. people will
be coming here to look at our resources
and decide what attractions there are here
for home. one of the influences that
will make favorable impression is a city
park and even though only the site has
been selected and a few city boarders put
10 work clearing off brush, 1t will have
its weight. Let the site be secured while
everything is favorable Mr.. Johnsoa's|
offer accepted, and the rest will be
smooth sailing.
