The following communication which
is self explanatory was received: i8i
The president of the Improvement
committee of the Gradatim Club APP
pointed three ladies to meet and confer
with the city council at it's first meet
ing, in regard to fixing the public park,
but as the park is not nearly ready as
yet for any work that could be done by
the ladies, we thought best to write
you our plans and see if they meet
with your approval. AS soon as the
park grounds are ready for flower beds
the ladies would like you to set day
in which they may meet and help with
the good work. They are willing to
buy, beg, or procure in any honor
able way, as many plants as possible,
but park needs some plants which
can be taken up in winter and cared
for. These we are not able to get
here, and the ladies wish to know if
the council is willing to purchase
such plants as are suitable for the
park. OF course, we do not expect
great many the first year, just enough
to make it look like a real park. We
shall be pleased to meet with you at
any time and listen to suggestions in
regard to the matter.
Respectfully,
MRS. j. NJ. MONA STEERS.
Mrs. M. F. WOODBURY..
MRS. r. J. O'CONNELL.
Committee of Gradatim Club.
The communication was accepted
and ordered placed on file, and the
president of the council requested to
call upon the committee and notify
the ladies that their services would be
acceptable and that funds would be
placed at their disposal for the pur-
chase of plants and flowers. sa
