The park commissioners voted OF ac-
cept the charge and make a public park
out of it.. They also voted to give the
new park the ancient name by which
all the land in that vicinity was known
a great many years ago, "Woodfeld."
The new park will therefore be known
as "Woodfield Park" They also voted
to appropriate $25 to be used to open
