WHITING NEWS
Work is Started.

WO1h 10 0Jn4 tC0s
The work on Writings new lake
front park is now going along nicely.
with the exception of the delay in the
arrival of the black dirt. Two car
loads were already received, but this
has been used up. Four carloads were
promised on Friday, but did not appear,
and, IL there is much more delay, it
is not known exactly what will be
done. Contractor Nedjl has completed
the work of putting in the sewer. and
It is expected that Henry Davidson
Will have the work of putting in the
water completed within a few days.
Paul c. Rapp, the park superintend-
ent, has arrived and under his super
vision 1t is thought that all the diff
culties, which have been encountered,
viii be worked out satisfactorily. Mr..
Rapp was formerly a member of the
South Park board, Chicago, and car
ries recommendations which show him
to be well fitted for the work he has
undertaken.
Mr.. Rapp, in speaking of the park,
said he wants to give the people of
whiting something of which they can
we'll be proud and also something to
which he can point to with pride after
his work at Whiting has been com
pleted.
| He is experiencing great difficulty
in the plans he was given to go by, as
1t has been necessary to alter them in
many cases.
One point which had to be altered
was the concrete wall at the edge of
the park. The specifications say a A
/ 70
fence on top Of it. This would give
the park a prison-like effect, so the
concrete wall was reduced TO eighteen
inches, with the board fence a trifle
higher.
Another change was made in the
width of the walks. According to the
plans. they were to be five-foot wide
1t is known that this is unusually mar
row for a walk, it giving two ordinary
sized persons scarcely room to pass, not
saying anything of persons of extraor-
binary size, several of whom will also
desire to go to the park for the pur-
pose of enjoying the cool breezes Of
Lake Michigan. For this reason the
walks have been changed to ten fee
wide, with the main walks twelve fee
IN width. 1t is well that these mis-
takes have been altered before it wer,
too late, thereby causing much incon
venience to patrons of the park.
1t make one think that the park il
near at hand, when 1t is known tina
there are about seventy trees in tn
} ground. The first tree was planted yes
terday morning about o'clock, b.
Mayor Fred ]. Smith. in the presenc
! of the aldermen and a large crowd o
citizens who had gathered to witnes
r the event.
A photographer was at hand an
took the picture of the crowd, in whic
all tried to look Industrious gettini
shovels, picks or any other implemen
: which was available.
The work of planting continued al
through the day.
Several of the shrubs have also ar
rived and will be planted as soon a
the black dirt reaches here.
o 1t is now hoped that everything wi
r, go along nicely and that Whiting PEG
pie may yet be able to enjoy thei
= breathing spot before the season
5, over.
