William Olson and number of
other citizens are agitating the
movement for a city park and we be-

one. There is land along the bay
shore that can be secured for this
purpose and Mr.. Olson thinks that
there are enough public spirited
men that would take hold of the
matter and have the land cleared up
providing that the city would buy
the land. Never before Eave we
needed a park of this kind as much
as we do now. The time has come
when many summer tourists are
making this city their headquarters
during the summer months and the
city should provide some place as a
beauty spot that can be enjoyed by
them as well as the people of the
city. Nature has provided many
such places close to the city and the
only thing that is needed to make
them beauty spots is to clear off the
low underbrush and logs. The
location along the lake is most ex-
cellent.
