to pass across the park on the lines

Railroad may be asked to make some

bridge or for the powerhouse which
may be needed.
The Legislature would then be called
upon to authorize the laying out of the
park extension in landscape fashion,
and to make appropriation for the
grading and the planting of trees.

Governor Brumbaugh has favored the
red oak, a native of Pennsylvania for
the planting of the new park. This
tree is one of the most attractive when
grown and is emblematic Of the
strength of the keystone common
wealth. The planting would be done
by Mr.. Manning and selected trees
