The park Improvement question was
thoroughly rehashed at the regular
meeting of the board OF public service
ing various improvements by August
6, and work will be on in earnest by
the middle of next month.
Perhaps the most important I'M
Iprovement which the board decided
upon was the construction of pa
vlion at the Lincoln park. Mr.. Addi-
son Balm, park superintendent, at the
request of the board, had drawn a
plan for what he would consider a
suitable pavilion for the place and
presented II last evening. According
| to his plans the building will be rs
by 30 feet in dimensions, with a
raised platform 20 by 80 at one end.
to be used as stage. There will be
side doors extending the whole length
and In the summer these can be
raised on each side, making 1t a cool
open place. The floor is to be of the
finest hard pipe and will be finely
finished so that 1t can be used for
IudHCiHS purpOSeS.
The pavilion will cost about $500.
Several members of the board were
not in favor Of having swinging doors
on the sides, but were of the opinion
that IL should be entirely open.
Mr.. Balm explained, however. that
the building could be used for place
to store the park seats In the winter
time, also as work shop in case that
the sides were enclosed. He also as
,sured the members Of the board that
the floor would be kept in better con-
dition In the closed pavilion.
The board was well pleased with Mr..
Bain's plans and authorized the clerk
to advertise for bids for the construc-
tion of a building according to Mr..
Bain's plans and specifications. The
bids will be opened on Tuesday. Aug
ust 6.
T. j. Selders was awarded the con-
tract for driving well in Garfield
park. The contractor is to use the
pump, which is in the old well, and
complete the job for $32.
Mr.. Balm reported that he had not
been successful in arranging for
conference with Mr.. Blosser, siperin-
tendent of the Marion Light and Pow
er company and had nothing definite
to offer OH the question of lighting
the parks. The board authorized him
TO get figures determining the cost of
lighting the parks at his earliest con-
venience.
The clerk was authorized to adver-
tise for bids for the construction OF
a stone arch bridge over the pool at
the Mckinley park. the bids to be op-
ened Tuesday, August 6.
Mrs. Henry Voorhees,, of No. G54
East Center street. was present and
disclosed to the board some crooked
work practiced upon her in the lay
Ing OF a sewer through her property
At recent meeting OF the board, Dr..
G. 7. Harding asked permission for
tapping the Dix sewer. assuring the
board that II 1t would give him per-
mission he would run the sewer
through To Center street and would
build It at his own expense. thus
giving the property owners along that
line no room for Complaint.
Mrs. Voorhees, claims that Mr.. Hard
