pended out of appropriations in per
manent work over $1,000.
There is no necessity for a park
board TO oversee the ordinary surface
work. What the board desires is thai
| the city council will appropriate an
nually a sum of money sufficient to be-
gin the work of the complete, perma
nent improvement of Longview. We
are interested in this work and are
very DESTROYS to begin it, but we can
not do it unless we have the earnest
and active cooperation of the city Off
Gals and the people.
| Il wish l could present to you a life
| picture of the people, young and old,
who love to visit and roam over Long
view. the satisfied expression of their
faces, their love of the natural beauty
of that park.
1.-The philanthropist could not do a
greater service to his fellow citizens
| than to furnish them with a beautiful
park. 1t is the purest of all public
institutions. The beauty of park has
| a tendency to cultivate the very finest
| feelings of our nature There is no
| room for dissipation, but in the midst
of natural beauty and the beauty OF
nature improved by art, the mind OF
man is instinctively lifted from nature
to natures God. l hope that this feel
ing will take possession of the hearts
of the citizens of Rock Island so thai
We may have their assistance, pecuni
airy and otherwise, in improving Long
view.
| Assist i'm Effort.
I'VE have received assurance from
many persons that they are willing to
assist in an effort to complete Long
view. and this leads me to state what
the board desires. We estimate that
for $4,000 Longview park can be sub
stantially finished. We believe that il
can be done in two or three years. ans
this is the proposition: That the CITY
