park for Little Falls was brought to
the attention of the league at this
meeting, tract of land, Just north of
Maple Island, and which comprises
eight forty foot lots. being offered for
sale, at what is considered very
reasonable price, for this purpose. It
was stated that number OF the bus1-

The proposed site for downtown
park IS beautiful one, being situated

the purchase price, to fine park, and
