Councilman Stover asked Mr. Bay

for the bridge approaches. Mr.. Bay
nard said they we're, and the commit

legal means possible TO prevent the
destruction of the park. He said Il
was possible to condemn land under

have to pass on the question.
AT this point Jerome b. Bell, Of the

that Richard Reese, who had been ap-
pointed chairman Of the committee
TO condemn the land for the bridge
approaches. had requested his de-

It was about the year 1885 that the

The tremendous conclusion broke the
lens. however. so that in order to use it
at all the telescope had to be detached
from the gun before firing. thereby
entailing loss OF several seconds In
time after aim had been taken.
Later. to obviate this defect. the
telescope was adjusted to the axis OF
the gun by system OF parallel arms
moving up and down In unison with
the gun. though detached from it This
of course was a great Improvement.
