contiguous to Minnehaha park, and b5r
ders upon the Mississippi river.
There had been an accumulation Of
taxes, park assessments with penalties

received from Mrs. E. c. Whitney, of
Ontario, Canada, the donor being an old
and honored member of the board Of di-
rectors of the home in past years.

century is most hopeful and encourag-
ing inasmuch as the heavy burden of the
park taxes is now removed.
