'BURGOYNE PARK"
PLAN UNDER WAY
PETITION CIRCULATED ASKING
CITY COMMISSIONERS TO PRO-
POSE BOND ISSUE OF $4,000
FOR ISLAND IMPROVEMENT.

AT the meeting OF the Commercial
club. held Tuesday evening, a petition
addressed to the city commissioners
was placed in circulation, asking that
body TO propose a bond issue OF $780,
900 for the purpose OF extending the
City Island from a point on the south
line OF Orange avenue 10 a point on
the north line of Magnolia avenue, and
for the further purpose OF building a
city hall. The estimated cost of the
fill and wall is approximately $4,000.
The cost of the city buildings will be
determined after plans and specifca-
tions are drawn but it is the plan of
the instigators OF the petition to con
fine the expenditures to $4,000.
A one-min tax for 20 years will meet
the interest on the bonds and retire
them at maturity
When the improvement to the is
land is completed it is planned to
name it Burgoyne Park, in honor of
the late Commodore Charles G. Bur
goyne, who, in his lifetime did so
much for the welfare of the city. 1t is
the further plan OF the Commercial
club TO raise by popular subscription
a fund for the purpose of erecting a
suitable monument in the park. The
subscription list is now at Rowe's jew
elry store.
