Public Park Carries.
The leWying OF a tax for park pur-
poses carried but only by small ma
jority. More opposition was found
than was anticipated, and II any con-
certed effort had been made to defeat
the proposition 1T could have easily
been accomplished. The majority was
$50 In favor OF the teyyin9 of the o-mill
tax for a period OF three years. The
women cast ninety three votes, with
a majority Of thirteen against the
proposd tion. 1t is said that because OF
the fact that they would not have a
voice in the election OF commissioners
kept many of the women away. The
real cause for the opposition to the
park lies in the fact that misunder-
standing has arisen quite generally
concerning the location. Many felt that
by voting the tax they were voting to
have the park located on the river site.
and this many do not want The fight
on location. however, comes, when the
commissioners are elected next spring
