school children OF the city. particularly
by the students at the high school over
the failure to have the regular Arbor

their spirits
The action OF the park commissioners
Is based on the fact that Improvements
are being made; that the ground Is torn
up, and the presence OF a large number
OF people would undo the work now fin-

sioners.
