Fine Park Bequeathed to Village
Improvement Society by the
Late w. /. Powers-NeW
Principal.

Principal.
| (Mrs. E. ]. Blodgett, correspondent. }
BY the will of the late w. /. Pow
ers, the Village improvement society
is given $4,000 for the purchase OF
the camp grove, and the income OF
$4,000 for it's maintenance as a
public park and playground. Mr..
Powers had planned to make this
gift personally, but was unable to
conclude negotiations with the rail-
road company before his death.
Should the society be able to COM
pIete the purchase at some future
time, the income would enable them
to make of it a very attractive spot.
About 20 acres of land are included
/ in this grove which borders on the
Passumpsic river and contains many
fine trees. 1t might be made into a
delightful place for picnics, Out-of-
door entertainments and pageants,
sports and games of all kinds. We
hope sometime to see this plan car
ried out and Mr.. Powers name COM
memorated in this way. With a few
personal legacies, the bulk of Mr..
Powers property goes to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Homer Watson. Mr.. and
Mrs. Watson are to be felicitated
