Members of the Park Board ap.
peared before the council to o1nquire
as to the disposition of the proceeds
of the sale of the park site in block
43, President Costin stating that the
Board had employed Bert Fesler to
look up their rights in the matter
and to appear before the board of
appraisers at Duluth. He stated
that Mr.. Fesler advised that any
citizen could serve an injunction
against the transfer of the property
but the Board did not feel that they
wished such course of procedure,
but felt rather that the Board and
council should work IN harmony
for the beautifying and betterment
of the city. On this point Mr.. Costin
stated that the Park Board had al
ready employed a firm of landscape
architects and under their direction
proposed boulevarding each street
and avenue of the city, 80 far as
possible, by narrowing the roadway
to "A feet and stablishing grass
plots and planting trees on either
side, planting slow growing trees
at distance of IS feet apart while
fast growing trees would be set be-
tween. DR.. Lenont, as president of
the Commercial Club the past year,
stated that at meeting of that body
on December 9th motion that all
funds received from the sale of the
park site revert to the Park Board
for the purpose of securing and
beautifying another site passed by
unanimous vote, while o. A. Poirier,
as member of the Board, recalled
the struggles of the Park Board in
the past and stated his conviction
that the money received rightly be-
longed to the Park Board for dis.
position, the Board having several
sites in view which would require
money for acquisition and improve
ment. President Osborn, of the
council advised the delegation that
the council and finance committee
would take the matter under con.
sideration and make formal report
later.
