 A hearing .by the commitbse, sp- pointed Go feoo1nmsnd . suitable site l for the Hyde park was held d Borough | hall last Saturday Aftarnoon, for the purpose of giving she oitlzens of the town a chance to suggest sites and cost of the same. Those attending were nearly all from the. borough. The committees, 6otaiating. of Cyril Johnson. M " Leonard, F: 2. Pat ten. Christopher Allen, F.. H. Baker, H. 0. Fisk, O..
