Report of Years Work in Long View Park

"The pavilion just completed is of a |
tasteful design. electric lighted. and not |
only ornamental, but more SO for its |
usefulness in case of bad weather, "a |
by AZ in size, with basement eight |
feet high of same dimensions. This |
will shelter great many people, who |
get caught in the rain while frequent |
ing the park. This basement is fur |
Their intended for storing the numerous
tools and other utensils used in park |
work. such as parts of the play ground; |
moving machines, rakes and small
tools of all kinds. We have also in |
tended to use same for storage of
plants, not only from Long View park;
also from Spencer and Garnsey
squares, which are now being housed
in several places about town.
This pavilion was erected at cost
of about $4,000, by the contracting firm
of Lange & Tom. whose bid was the
| lowest. The brick used in this build
| ing was manufactured at Sears, H.,
and is of the best quality in the
pressed brick line. The mill work was
| works, and is in every way salts
factory. and a credit to this concern.
The tile roof is, in our judgement.
about the neatest piece of work which
has been done in this locality, and was
put on by John Bertleson.
| IN conclusion to all these improve
ments, we planted about $1,000 worth
of trees, and perineal shrubs as fol-
lows:
