Park avenue. 1t is the desire of tn
undersigned 10 inaugurate on thii
street a system now in vogue in man.
places, known as the park system. Thi
implies the growing of a strip of law
with either a single or double row o
trees and shrubs outside Of the side
walk line. In this case we suggGs
that the usual twelve feet be allowe'
for sidewalk purposes and that an al
ditional twelve feet be allowed for tn
park, leaving thirty-two feet for tn
graded street, the water ditch to b.
run between the park and the grade'
street in what would ordinarily be tn
gutter of the street." The petition
carried a rough cross section whicl
gave an idea Of what was wanted.

ter was referred to the street and a
