Permission Starts
Park Honor Roll

An honor roll upon which every
man. woman and child in Ashland
should be anxious to have his or her
name will be started as the result OF
a public-spirited offer upon the part
of S. Permission. Realizing that with
the far from abundant funds avail
able this year, the park board will he
able to do little in the way of plant
ing new shrubs and trees, and also
that these shrubs and trees should
be planted this year. Mr.. Permission
originated the idea of park beautl-
fication fund to be contributed to by
the citizens of Ashland and to be de-
voted entirely to the purchase OF
shrubs and trees. Mr.. Permission has
agreed to give all of his commission
on shrubs and trees to the cause and
profits in no way from the PROPOSE
tion which he is backing for the sake
of the park which he loves. All the
banks of the city have agreed to re-
ceive subscriptions and care for the
funds, and every Ashlander should
contribute any amount he or she feels
able, from five cents up.
Mr.. Permission explains his idea
more fully in the following communi-
cation.
A More Beautiful Park.
To the Citizens of Ashland and vi
cinity: We are in need of shrubs
and ornamental trees for the beautifir
cation of our park. Planting shrubs
and trees enhances the beauty and
value of our park. No one feature
in identifying the park will enhance
its beauty more than planting suita-
BILE groups of shrubs and trees, both
as single speciments and in groups
to hide some Objectionable feature
in the landscape.
l will not go into details of plant
ing at the present time, but will ask
the citizens of Ashland and vicinity
to subscribe as literally as they can
towards fund for the purpose of OBJ
tanning shrubs and trees suitable for
this purpose. The shrubs and trees
will cost from so cents to S. each.
I am representative of nursery, and
will allow my commission for extra
shrubs and trees, which will be about
25 per cent, or, in. other words, for
every 800 subscribed the park will
receive $125 in value.
Our several banks have kindly con-
sented to receive subscriptions and
care for the funds. A subscription
list will be placed in each bank. Any
amount from the widows mite to the
rich mans abundance will be thank
fully received. Personally am
ready to help, aid and assist in every
possible way I can.
Yours for more beautiful park,
s. Permission.
