Committee is Authorized by the
Board and Mayor to Take
Steps to Close Deal.
TO BEGIN THE COLLECTIONS
Funds Subscribed by Citizens for the
First Payment of 5000 Will be
Called i'm at Once.

There is now no question about
the east end park. The Case tract
of % "a acres between Ninth and
Eleventh avenues and Thirty-eighth
and Forty-second streets is to be pur-
chased.
The committee which has had in
hand the raising of the $1,000 for
the first payment on the tract today
completed it's work so that the money
is in sight and acting on the author
ity Of the park board and Mayor Nc
Caskrin, the committee notified
Charles p. Taylor of Ottawa, repre-
senting the owners of the tract, to
come 20 Rock Island and close the
deal for the land MIR. Taylor is cX-
pected here tomorrow to arrange the
title to the tract and sign up the nee
essary papers.
City To Pay Balance.
The first payment of $4,000 has
been entirely secured by popular
subscription and the city council
some months ago went on record to
insure the payment of the balance of
$4,000 on the purchase price on
condition that the first $4,000 was
secured. The owners Of the tract
have agreed to accept the $4,000 as a
first payment, and allow the balance
to be paid in five annual Install
mentS of $4,000 each. The first Of
these installments to be met by the
city will be due next year.
Realization of Dream.
With the step taken today b. the
committee, the dream of the resi-
dents of the Seventh ward is assured
of realization. For years there has
been a sentiment there in favor of
some action for an cast end park,
and several times negotiations have
been considered. 1t was net, how
ever, until few months ago. that
the proposition was taken up by the
Bluff Improvement association and
other residents of the Seventh ward,
and an organization was formed for
the express purpose of putting
through the park project. J. f Wit
ter, city attorney, was made chair
man of this ward club. and he ana
A. Il. Nelson and Frank MauCker,
were named as a committee to take
the matter up with the park board.
When the matter was presented to
the park board, it received the hearty
support of that body, and the three
men authorized by the rark board to
solicit contributions fer the first pay
ment for the park.
Yesterday this committee had Sc
cured subscriptions in sufficient
amount to make certain that the
$4,000 will be on hand, and on con
ferring with the park beard and the
mayor, decided to notify Mr.. Taylor
at once. The option on the tract eX-
pires this week. and the committee
concluded its work just in time tC
take advantage of the offer for the
land. The committee was assisted
in its canvass by members of the
park board and Superintendent Gaet
jer. The raising of so large a fund
in such short time was no small
task, and required much time and
work on the part of the committee
