cation to City Council last night, Of
fered . tract Of land 10 the city for
park grounds.
The letter. which was addressed to
President Candy. OF The Park Commis-
sion, was read before Councils session,
anil the proposition contained in it
vas unanimously adopted by Council
The text Of the communication was as
follows:
Il was glad TO earn fIsm thee that
there is a prospect Of tne city obtain
ing a fee simple title to the LAW lot
adjoining the Mt. Salem Cemetery Gor
$1,000 and the amount Of some legal
expenses
'I will be willing to find money to
pay such part OF $780, the estimated
amount of legal expensss, as the COM
niittee OF City Council shall think
proper, provided my land east cf MT.
Salem lot shall be released from the
right Of way ever il, which pertains
to the Law lot
II also offer-as som the city ac-
quires the Law lOt-deed to the city
without any charge, my land bounded
by the law lot and Brinckle avenue
and by che park land and what would
be an extension Of Delaware avenue.
II SUPPOSE that the deed from me
shOu.d probably include what would be
the bed Of Brinckle avenue II extendda
north OF Delaware avenus, and Of Della
ware avenue il extended westerly oil

Il do not know the exact size II the
ground that I propose to deed, but
think 1T is about l57 feet wide and or
