The mansion al Davis Park, formerly

can be secured as a residence by

the park commissioners being willing
to let IL it for s400 year. While the
house is very large indeed, and. in fact.
larger than the average family would
need. the location is certainly one OF
the most attractive in the state, and
the views from the windows almost un-
equalled.
Chairman Deming said this morning.
that he had received an offer from
prospective tenant, but the rent offered
(yas too small and he would not care
to let the house for less than S4OO. The
main thing that the commissioners
have in view is TO have the house oc-
cupied. as il will thus be more prop
erly cared for particularly during the
weather. A person taking tha
house could easily use the number OF
rooms desired and shut off the rest. ai/l
thus secure an ideal residence.
Mr. Demins said he thought the time
would come when the house might be-
devoted tu purposes for a city hosp-
tai as IL is admirably adapted for such,
and wings could be added as the need
for more room was required.
