Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1910-07-13

express conditions, towit:
|. That said premises shall be
officially designated and forever
known as Ryland Park, and that said
name in suitable design, to be de-
termined by the persons hereinafter
named or their successors, shall be
placed and forever maintained over
the gateway at the main entrance to
the park as hereinafter set forth.
II. That said premises shall be
Used forever for free public park and
public library purposes. While l do
not make the maintenance of free
public art gallery IN connection with
said public library obligatory upon
the said city, yet, believing it would
prove of great benefit, I earnestly
recommend the same. Independently
of the support by the city, | am con-
vinced that it would at all times
command the active support of the
ladies and would from time to time
receive valuable additions and dona
tions from public spirited citizens.
Should the city endorse and accept
the suggestion, then give and be-
queath to the city as nucleus for
said art gallery all of my oil paint
ings Except one to be selected by Mrs.
Lucy M. arber, and which | hereby
bequeath to her, and engravings, the
large gilt frame mirror, and the piece
of statuary by Rogers named the
Council of War" al. of which |
value at more than two thousand dol
lars. But should the city decline to
start an art gallery in conjunction
with the public library, then it is my
will, and [ hereby give and bequeath
all of the above named articles to
Mrs. Lucy M. Barber, Mrs. Nelson,
Bailey and Lewis Hayward equally,
to be apportioned by them.
III That the sale or use Of malt,
spirituous or intoxicating liquors Of
any kind rowdyism. and rough or
violent games or sports such as base
ball and foot ball, upon said premises,
and skating of any kind or coasting
upon sleds or wagons on the interior
walks or on the sidewalks around
said premises, shall be made unlaw-
full and be forever prohibited by proper
ordinance of said city, and tho
custodian of the property shall be
authorized and it shall be made his
duty to see that said ordinance is
duly enforced.
". That said city shall prohibit
and forever prevent the erection of
any hitching posts, hitching rails or
similar contrivances for the hitching
of horses upon. with or around said
premises.
Y That the said City of Lancas-
ter shall forever at its own expense,
keep my cemetery lot in Hillside
Cemeteryln good, clean condition, and
the monument and fence there on in
good repair, keeping the fence we'll
painted at all times, renewing it
when necessary. and also renewing
the monument if irreparably injured
or destroyed by decay or by the ele
merits or through the wlllful act of
any person or persons To guard
against oversight or neglect, it is my
desire that supervision thereof be
vested in the Park Commissioners
having control of said Park
vi That said city of Lancaster
shall erect upon said premises within
twenty years from the death of Mrs.
Ryland library building costing not
less than twenty five thousand dollars.
But in thus making it obligatory
upon the part of said city to see that
library building is erected, it is not
my intention to bar or prevent any
donations from private persons for that
purpose
VII. That said city at all times
keep said park neat, clean and invit-
ing; shall forever protect from
vandalism and keep in good condition
and repair the main entrance includ.
ing gates and archway also all walks,
fence and other fixtures appurtenant
to said park, renewing the same
whenever necessary; and shall also
keep the building now on said premi-
ses, while suffered to remain, as we'll
as such buildings as may subsequently
he erected thereon, in good condition
and repair.
In order to accomplish these
purposes, and to see that the provi-
sions contained in subsection ''III'
Of this thirteenth clause is duly and
properly enforced. hereby make it
obligatory upon said city to employ
some careful and capable man by the
year, and for the purpose of paying
him for his services and to meet
necessary expenses, said city shall
annually appropriate (unless said
sum be donated by some individual or
