The estimates made by the Putnam
Park Commission fixed upon Sd, 800 as
the sum needed for the maintenance of
the park for the next two years, but
R5 900 is the amount named in the ap-
preparation resolution now before the
Legislature. The committee decided
not to ask for funds to carry out any
Important Improvement work. Three
years ago A. h. Bartram of hometown
offered the State as q gift the land
for building a road about half a mile
long to extend northwesterly from the
park to a public highway, but this
p@zer has never been acted upon by
the commission. They believe it to
be still open for their acceptance, al
Trough not positive on this point. At
any rate. they are doubtful as to
whether the proposed road is suffi-
rfezt1y desirable to be worth what 1t
would cost and accordingly are pass
ing on the question to their success
Eors. There remains enough Of the
last appropriat ton to complete and
Eurnisfl the ladies' building which was
erected IN the park last fall not far
from the pavilion.
