AREA AT CITY PARK

If the city council carries out
recommendations of the park COM
mittee. composed of DR.. F. D. Strick-
er. Angus r. Mclean and C. E. Dan
iels. the city park on the banks oil
the Rogue will. this summer, be
even a more inviting resort than IN
the past That committee last night
made report reading as follows:
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council:
Gentlemen: After a careful in
yestigation of the city park on the
south side of Rogue River we offer
the following recommendations, in
order that the park can be placed in
the best possible condition for the
summer:
That a one-horse lawn mower be
purchased in order to facilitate the
moving of the present moved area
and also to be able to NOW the large
amount of park that it is impossible
to cover under the present system.
That the large southeast corner
now IN manzanita brush be fenced
off and three deer be purchased and
placed therein.
That a tieing place be arranged
for, to set in a section of the park
where all teams can be tied and a
place arranged for automobiles.
That a stretch of the river be
fenced in, out in the water as far
as the depth does not exceed four
feet, thus making safe bathing
place for women and children.
That the park be better lighted,
tungsten lights being used.
That enough suitable tables be
constructed with seats about them
for public parties. Also that enough
seats be installed in the park, prob
ably a dozen more than the present
number
That the present irrigation sys-
TEN be enlarged to water the in
creased moved area.
The report was referred to the
purchasing committee.
E. L. Walther, manager of the
Rogue River Electric company, ap-
peared before the council last night
and argued against the proposed or
dinance reducing charges for power
and lighting.
No ordinances were passed, the
council preferring to await the re-
turn to the city of Mayor R. G.
Smith.
