CITY PARK

The time has more than arrived
when Chanute should make arrange
melts for at least one suitable park.
There is no city in the state of the
size and Importance of Chanute that
does not now have one or more
parks. Our little city is growing all
the time and is destined to take a
very rapid pace in the very near
future. Suitable tracts for park
purposes. close in, are scarce and
five are ever gong to have park or
system of parks 1t is high time to
secure the sites.
A prominent citizen recently
called our attention to this matter
and referred US to a block of ground
favorably situated that could be
purchased at reasonable figure. 1t
surely is time to begin to do some
thing i'll this line if It is no more
than to purchase the grounds at
present.
1t seems to be we'll understood
that we are to have city of double
the present size in very few years
and city of 40, 900 people without
parks would be poor place to
live.
We have no kick on the lovers Of
base ball for spending $4,000 or such
a matter to keep the game going
here but think the same amount OF
money spent in inducing some small
factory to locate in our midst or in
some permanent improvements to
the city in the line of parks or Other
embellishments would be of more
lasting benefit. Why not all take
hold of this. w
