With the coming of the new year
Frank Raynes of Augusta, who has the
contract for making the fill near the
north side of the State field opposite

he had been doing during the past
year, and has thus far hauled in about
1000 loads of clay and loan, which he
secures at his bank, located at
the west of the city gravel bank at the
upper end of Capitol street. The work
is under the supervision of the Park
Commission, the members of which
are Parker L. Hardison, L. L. Cooper
and Orin B. Frost, and is being done in
accordance of an act Of the Legislature
of 1919 which appropriated the sum of
$4,000 for the improvement Of the State
field, half of which amount was to be
used that year and the remainder dur
ing the year 1914. During the year 1917

clay were hauled in, and to complete
the work of filing the gully will take

lishment Of a park system in the city,
and when the fill is completed it is un-
derstood that further work will be done
