We have also examined the ground
contemplated as an continuation to

Of the city.
We also visited the tract Of land
owned by |. Fl. Harness, about half
or three quarters Of q mile south Of
the bali park, beyond the south end
Of the street railway
We also visited some land owned
hy DR.. Dawson. just east Of the city

portion Of the old slough and some
high land adjoining the o. c. Ry., for

We most earnestly recommend the
establishing Of park and boulevard
system, an dfeel that such system can
not be organized too soon.
we realize The impossibility Of doing
anything along this liae without funds
TO purchase land and to make improy-
ments, and the only way by which
funds can be realized for this purpose
ig by the issuance Of bonds. We ap-
preciate the difficulty Of voting bonds
at this time, owing to the conditions
existing, caused by drouth, etc. yet
we further appreciate and believe that
\ the amount voted could be utilized to
/ a better advantage than perhaps later
on when conditions shall be much bet
ter, and in view Of the fact that It
would create no burdens that would
Ahave to be met during the present year
lana perhaps not urtil near the end
Aof another crop year Property, we
feel can be purchased at this time for
enc third, and perhaps fifty percent
Hess than it could year or two ago
or perhaps much less than it can be a
year or two from this time, and mas.
much as the burden of paying the
bonds will not begin for sometime yet
in the future, and extend over period
OF 25 years, and the further fact that
unless property can be purchased at
A price in proportion to the conditions
now existing the bonds need not be
sold ard therefore no levy will have
to be made to meet the same, we
therefore recommend that the council
take action toward submitting this
issue to the people, in order that q
park and boulevard system may be
organized at an early date.
For want OF sufficient time to give
the matter proper consideration we
have come to no conclusion as to the
most favorable propositions, and beg
leave for further time to make fur
ther investigation and to make recon-
mendations in regard 10 locations and
further ascertain prices upon the dit
ferent propositions.
Respectfully submitted.
