| Last Friday the final transaction
that transferred the park to the tow
of Hotchkiss was made and that fin
piece of land is now the property O
| Hotchkiss. Every citizen, not only o
! Hotchkiss but of the surrounding
country should be pleased to hear O
this final transaction. OF course ther
is small financial burden attache
to its ownership but one would be dc
void of any public spirit that woul
object to that expense. We should al
use our best efforts in caring for an
keeping it as it is now-the finest pla!
ground on the western slope.
