petition was received asking the
board to construct a new path from the
wire bridge 10 the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road and place light thereon. The
matter was referred to the executive com
mittee with power to act.
President Bancroft said he understood
that City Council was considering the
advisability OF borrowing money for the
Park Board coincident with the borrow
ing OF $4,000 for the Street and Sewer
Department He said the board had
taken proper steps to request Council to
negotiate a loan for park improvement,
but he thought the board had not taken
the proper step toward asking Council to
borrow money for the purchase of land.
The subject was discussed by the mem
bers and IL was agreed that all Of the S30.-
600 authorized by the Legislature, was
required for the purchase of land which
has been practically settled upon for
park purposes when the money is in hand.
A resolution was adopted requesting
Council to borrow not exceeding $50 600
for the purchase OF land.

tention of the board to the fact that there
are two damage cases pending which affect
the Park Board and which will be tried

Knights of Pythias.

At a regular meeting of Bamberg
lodge, Knights of Pythias, last Mon
day night, the rank of Page was con-
ferred on Mr.. M. M. Smoak. There
was fairly good crowd of the mem
bers present, but there should have
been more. Those present were very
much pleased with the electric lights
in the hall, which is great improve
ment over the old kerosene lamps.
The hall is now nicely lighted, and
if city council will now make some
needed repairs and put in the nee
essary regalia rooms, the hall will be
we'll suited for lodge meeting. At
the next meeting of our city council, ,
that body will be asked to make
these improvements at once, as the
district lodgemeetsh here in February,
and the hall should be fixed up nicely
before that time. It will not do to
advertise Bamberg to the world as
having such a shabby meeting place
for her secret societies as we'll as
council chamber.
The rank of Esquire will be con-
ferred at the next meeting. Let a
large number of the members be
present.
