Contract For Park Roadway Let
Charles B. Chapman Will do the Work and Continue
as Long Weather Permits Playground in Use at
Mohegan Park.

The board of park commissioners
have awarded the contract for the
Washington street entrance to Mohe-
gan park to Charles Butler Chapman,
who will push the work along there as
rapidly as possible from now on, and
continue work into the winter as long
as feasible. The contract covers the
section of the roadway the layout of
which the court of common council
recently approved Mr.. Chapman was
the lowest bidder for the work. There
is much cutting and filling to be done
on the roadway. and work will be
started at the eastern end of the job
and work westerly to Washington
street, in order to keep the roadway
from being used until danger from ac-
cidents is over. Whatever is not fin
ished this winter will be finished in
the spring, and next year the road will
be completed from the end of the pres
ent contract into the center of the
park.
The Fairgrounds off Rockwell street
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1910-09-16

in Michigan park has been finished,
and it is in use by the children when
ever they get the opportunity. The ball
grounds have been laid out and the
boys find the diamond an excellent one.
About the sides of the Fairgrounds are
settees for the public. while ten swings
have been erected there by Superin-
tendent Duff. The park has been Wis
tied by thousands of people this sum-
mer and still presents an attractive
appearance, though the coming of fall
is noticeable.
The two wild geese which were pre-
scented to the park commissioners by
Selectman Lillibridge have been an ap-
preciated adjunct to the park equip
ment. Last Thursday night, however,
one OF the geese was stolen or strayed
away and has not been seen since.
The wings of the geese had been clip
ped so they could not by and they had
become quite tame. Inasmuch as they
could not fly, it is thought the missing
one furnished some one a dinner last
week.
