MAYOR
OFFERS FEW
SUGGESTIONS
TO PARK BOARD TOUCHING
EXPENDITURE OF BOND
MONEY IN HAND

Mayor Nissley addressed lengthy
letter last night to the members or
the park board in which he intimated
that it was time some action was
taken relative to park improvement,
and Offering to cooperate with the
board in getting matters under way.
The mayor also gave his personal
matter of the expenditure of the
ideas. by way of suggestion, on the
100000 available for park purposes,
and suggested the following:
/. Construction of bath houses,
$4,000.
2. For the construction of pavilion,
including the large one in Mineral
Wells park, $4,000,
g. For the construction of fountains,
$1,000
4. For the construction of water
wells, $4,000
5. For the construction Of drive
ways. including bridges, $4,000
8, For the construction of water
mains. including dams and sewers,
$4,000.
In regard to the location of the bath
house, the mayor submits two propo-
stions, either of which would meet
with his approval, as follows:
Our city attorney gives as his
opinion that under the issue we can
rot appropriate any of the funds for
more park grounds. There
fore, the bath house must either go
into one of the parks which we al
ready have, or into such a location as
n light be acquired for park purposes
without any cost to the city.
There is prevailing an opinion Tin
which | cOncur) among many of our
representative citizens that possibly
the bath house located somewhere
near or in close proximity to the cen
trail business portion of the city
would be an advantage and by its ac-
cessibility be more generally used
and therefore more of a paying nropo-
s!tion, all of which, l think, is worthy
OF very careful consideration. If,
however, after looking into the mat
ter you should conclude that it is un-
wise to so locate it, then permit me
ID suggest that you place it upon
Mineral Wells park proper, as per
the conceded original plan"
Pafk commissioner Petty said that
conditions were constantly changing
md only the future would unfold
what was best to do in the premises.
He said the agitation now running
was the best possible thing. as it,
served to keep public interest az
