included In this list.
Regarding the animals Mr.. Power said
the intention was not TO have a large num-
Der but rather specimen animals, which are
we'll separated and in various parts OF
the park, and of much entertainment to
children, especially. The park now con-
tains two elk, eight deer, six foxes, two
coons, five monkeys, two black bears. two
white rabbits. two fluffy owls. four English
pheasants, five golden pheasants and two
doves.
An urgent appeal for an appropriation for
a watering system is made, the necessity
being great. 1t is said every tree and
shrub planted must be watered for at least
five years and the second year after trans
planting more water is needed than at any
other time. He recommend a standpipe
service.
Concluding Mr.. Power says: Some other
means for obtaining money for park pur-
poses should be found. 1t is doubtful what
may be accomplished under existing condt-
tons when one years appropriation may
vary greatly from another. If this board
had a fair-siZed sum set apart by legisla-
tive enactment, a sum which would enable
IL TO carry on the work intelligently year

TO better advantage ten years hence, than
If 1t proceeds with just what money 1t
can get from time to time"
