landscape gardener as superintendent
of the Park. The old buildings were
very dilapidated. and with the help of
private subscriptions, they have been

also been laid with water pipe and

LAS the Legislature is the body with
whom the decision of what shall be
done at the park rests, the Commits

park, special Rapid Transit cars will
be provided for the purpose.
