COUNTY PARK
Federation of Women's Clubs
Would Have County Con.
troll McCurdy Park.

At business meeting of the Owossc
City Federation of Women's Clubs
held in the Y. Nj. @. A. rooms Thurs.
day, plans for large meeting the first
week in October were discussed. Mrs.
Niles Virgins, chairman of the Civic
Committee, presented the following
resolutions which were endorsed and
will be presented to all clubs in the
county, including farmers clubs, and
to oranges and other societies for en-.
dorsement. and will then be presented
to the board of supervisors at the
October session. The resolutions are
as follows:
We the undersigned would respect.
fully request that you use your best
efforts to cause the appropriation to.
ward the upkeep of McCurdy Park at
Corunna, to be increased to $1,000 per
year, for the following reasons:
1. That it will take this sum in ad.
dition to the regular annual appropria.
ton made by the City of Corunna to
properly maintain the park.
2. At the time of the taking over of
the park by the City of Corunps, So, 900
in bonds were issued for the improve.
ment of the park and the building of
the Casino. These bonds are still up.
paid, and for the past fifteen years the
City of Corunna has not only been
maintaining the park, but has been
paying the interest on this $4,000 bond
issue, still has this $4,000 in bonds to
pay, and is not able to add to the pre-.
sent county appropriation a sufficient
sum to properly maintain the park.
B. We believe that tax spread over
the entire county is the only equitable
way to care for the park finances. The
total assessed valuation of the county is
$36, 300, 900. and an appropriation of
$1,000 would make tax of less than
two cents and eight mills on every
81, 900 assessed valuation, and of which
the City of Corunna would be paying
its share in addition to its annual ap.
preparation.
4. 1t is too beautiful and valuable
park to be allowed to deteriorate ana
inasmuch as the county as whole uses
it far more in proportion than the City
of Corunna, we believe that the county
should stand It's just portion.
o. A sounding of the sentiment of
the people of the county has been taken
at the many gatherings h, Id at the
park during the past season, and de-
velopes the fact that they are all an.
animous for the spreading of a tax in
the sum of 81 900 as the county's por-
tion of the upkeep of the park.
9th. We fully believe and request
that this appropriation should be made
at the October session of the Board of
Supervisors as under the provisions of
Act No 80 of the Public Acts of 1918,
such an appropriation can only be made
at the October es.ion of the board.
