Formally Offered for the Use of
The Public of This City.

Into The Kennebec River.

re commenced within a very short
time.
To state the matter briefly, Agent
Stevenson has offered to the city.
through Mayor NeWbert, the use of the
plot of land for a park, practically
free, the only condition imposed be-
ing that the city build a suitable iron
fence along the top of the retaining
wall from the bridge to a point oppo-
site the mill office, from which build
ing the company is TO build a fence
TO the wall and to maintain the park
II is MIR. Stevensons plan to remove
the picket fence along the western
boundary Of the lot and to replace ii
with a modern one of iron, with Ell
frances from the sidewalk as such
points as the city may designate, te
lay out gravel walks through the en-
closure, place seats at intervals about
the grounds, and also to establish a
flower bed around the Flagstaff which
stands near the center of the enclo-
sure 1t might be added, here, that the
treasurer of the Edwards Co. Robert
Edwards of Boston, and the local
members of the board of directors
are heartily in accord with Agent
Stevenson in his plans and desires.
No Doubt as to Acceptance.
While Of course the matter of the
offer will have to be brought before
the city council. and will be at the
coming meeting of May l, there is not
TIE slightest shadow of doubt re-
earding the decision, and Mayor New
bert assured Mr.. Stevenson to that eff
feet. also expressing his appreciation
of the value of the offer, and of the
benefit which the park would prove
10 the people of the city.
agent Stevenson said further, in
speaking on the subject of the park,
that it was his intention to make eS-
.ensive improvements on lot of land
on the west side of the street. from
which building has been removed,
by dwelling off the land SO as to make
it attractive, and installing there
SEINE swings for the children.
But few people have any idea OF
the attractiveness which will result
from the establishment of park at
the point mentioned above. The en-
closure Is possessed of a great deal
of natural beauty, and when trans
formed by the hand of a landscape
gardener will be second to no place
in the city in point of attraetiveness
And aside from the place itself is the
view Of the Kennebec river, either
way. the Kennebec dam and the open
country north of the city making an
attractive picture up river, and the
buster section of the river presenting
an equally attractive scene below
There is always breeze at that point
when any air is moving, and it goes
without saying that the park VIII
prove an ideal place to enjoy sum
mer afternoon or evening.

When the meeting adjourned for the

The opinion was that The committee

and keep pace with what is going on.
There was no definite action on the
question OF calling a ma ional conven-
m this year A call, of course
would have to come from the national
CONN ittee. The question then ARCS
as 70 whether the committee would is

Republicans generally on hat point q.

I'VE agreed that Southern represen-

party in each Southern state. We DID

worked out later.
