How TO SECURE PARK
Three Methods by Which Land for
Lowry Fields Can Be
Acquired.
The Most Feasible Plan Seems an
Assessment on Property
Benefited.

Three methods for acquiring the
land needed for completing Thomas
LoWry's park plan are open to the
park board. The board can issue GER
tif1cates, a s has frequently been done.
The plan is often a very desirable one,
as it offers the opportunity Of paying
by instalments thru a term Of years.
Then the board, with the assistance
Of the city council, can issue bonds.
Whether the general public will will
ingly submit to another bond issue at
this time may be questioned, however.
Also, there is the direct purchase
plan by which the park board buys
the land outright. AS there will be
only $4,000 available annually for this
purpose, the third pla mis- not held to
be feasible.
1t is upderstoon that while the
property owners in the vicinity of the,
proposed park do not believe that
they should be assessed for the new.
park, the great majority are willing
to go down in their pockets if there is
no other way. All the interested
property has been assessed either for.
Loring Park or Spring Lake park and
some of 1t for both parks and it would
be piling on considerable burden to-
levy a third park tax on the heels Of;
the other two.
Still it is believed to be the most
pIdClICtDlS way A1IeT s ClOSlIlS lie
deals for the options and condemning
what can not be offered in that way,
the aggregate cost would be spread
over the real estate benefited and the
proceeds from these taxes would be
used in paying off the certificates of
Indebtedness. The park board, since
it's organization, has issued over a
million dollars of certificates and paid
all with the exception of less than
thousand dollars.
It has been estimated that there are
about 4,400 lots in the district which
should properly be assessed for the
park. Placing the cost at about $75,-
! 600, the average tax, or assessment,
on each lot would be SIT, or, extend
| ed to ten-year installments, would
amount to $1.7O a year. Naturally the
property nearest the park would be
| called upon to bear heavier assess
ment than that farther away. Thus
real estate fronting directly on the
park might be assessed as high as SIS
| a year on each lot.

vestigation the Goebei murder case.
hearing the testimony OF Henry e.
foutsey. Judge Cantrill said to the
Jury:
Gentlemen: I understand that a
certain person or persons have ap-
preached some member of the jury
and made inquiry as TO the matters
which have been before this jury II
this is fact, want you to report it
to the court. or II there have been any
oyertures or intimations to you"
James Riddell. who lives at Ben.
son, arose and stated that on his re-
turn home Thursday night man OF
medium height. with black hair, well
dressed, was at his home.
Mr.. Riddell said: THE man gave his
name as Mcdowell, and said his home
was at indianapolis, Ind; that he knew
w. s. Taylor; that he knew J was a
member Of the grand jury which had
the examination of Henry e. Youtsey;
that since the investigation of this
case and the testimony Of Youtsey
Taylor was much worried. had grown
thin and emaciated; that he (McDow.
elD knew who all the members of the
jury were, had diagrams Of their
houses and knew where they lived. He
said that he wanted to talk privately
with me. and that he wanted informa.
tion about the testimony of Youtsey,
could get money for it, and that he
would divide with me.
''He called me outside of the house
and stated that II there was enough
evidence against Taylor to convict him
(Taylor), he with others would kidnap
Taylor and bring him here and divide
the reward with me. He then offered
me money which he had in his hand
and refused it; then he showed some
money he had IN his pocket and showed
It into my vest, and told me to buy a
hat with it that he saw there was nc
opportunity to get the information. He
said he was stopping at the Capitol
Hotel and had driven out to my
house."
The judge instructed the money to
be turned over to the trustee Of the
jury fund, which was done, and the
grand jury was instructed to inyesti
gate the matter A warning to secrecy
was given.
-. To a friend Riddell said: "This man
said that $4,000 was offered for Tay
lor's delivery at Frankfort, and thai
he would give me cne-fifth OF the
money if l would tell all that Youtsey
had said about the conspiracy to Kill
Governor Goebel. l told him that
could not be induced to tell any one
what I had heard Youtsey say in the
fury room, and that 1 had not ever
told my wife that Youtsey was before
the jury"
