ACCEPTS PARK OFFER
FROM LAND COMPANY
Commission Agrees to Take Gift After
Arrangements Had Been Made
for Supply of Water for
lrrigating

The park commission yesterday pc
titioned the city council to accept in
the name of the city tract of land
containing about two acres at Vermont
and Vernon and offered the city as
park.
The offer was made several weeks
ago by President Shepherd of the
Southwestern Land company. He
agreed to deed the land to the city
to be perpetually maintained as a
park on condition the grounds be kept
in as good condition as when it is re-
ceived by the city.
The only difficulty in the way of
accepting this gift, which the park
commission realizes is a generous offer.
was a question of water. The South
western Water company, of which Mr..
Shepherd is also president, has been
supplying water for this land, but he
declared he could no longer afford to
do so, as lis plant is running at a
heavy loss
The city mains connect with the
Southwestern mains and Superinten-
dent of Parks Morley asked the water
commission whether water would be
furnished for the park by the city.
The commission agreed to give the
water, and on this stipulation the park
commission yesterday accepted the
gift.
Avenue Square park and probably will
continue to bear this name as the
commission has selected no other.

ASKS APPROPRIATION
TO CONNECT SEWERS
Need for Better Sanitation compels
p Commission to Seek Money by
Special Order, as Its
Funds Are Low

The park commission yesterday vot-
ed to ask the city council for special
appropriation of $4,000 from the gem
eral reserve fund to be used for better
toilet accommodations in parks.
Unless this money is furnished, one
branch of the city government will be
placed in the peculiar position of vio-
lating a law passed and rigidly en-
forced by another branch of the same
government. Sewers have been built
near all the parks and, under the law,
the parks must be connected with these
sewers or be made to suffer severe
penalties. The park board having no
money to eXpend in this manner, asks
the special appropriation.
The board of health also is shaking
a warning finger at the park depart
ment and telling it to hustle and i'm
prove the accommodations in some of
the parks. Not only are some of these
accommodations inadequate, but are of
a nature not now permitted to be main
tanned within the city limits.
The board of health seems to be
really in earnest in it's demand that
the parks comply with the law. and
it will seriously handicap the park de-
partment to pay the money out of its
slender appropriation.

words by some members of the Burn

amount of mining stock given her by
an uncle and the money was turned
over to the organization. A few weeks
later the family went to Mountain
View, Idaho, and during trip TO
Boise the husband received a message
from his wife that she had arrived in
wisconsin,; that she was living con-
tentedly in a home, and that II he
wished to live with her he must also
become a member of the sect. A de-
cree was granted.
Emma Domercq, who said her hus-
band, Peter Domercq, deserted her, but
before doing so footed a horn at night,
disturbing the slumbers of herself and
neighbors, was granted a decree of
divorce.
