NATURE And BENEFACTOR
OUR CITY PARK is A SCENE OF
LONELINESS
A Place for Young and Old in Sum-
mer and Winter-Thanks to a
Public BenefactOr

For new year greeting to Censor
readers, the editor of this paper pre-
pared for the first issue in 1919, re-
view of the accomplishments of vi
roqua during schedule of new build
ings business and residence places.
and repairs to others. The pressure
upon our columns for many weeks
was so great that there was not OPP
portunity to use the matter prepared
A portion was left standing in type.
That section regarding our public
park is as applicable now as when
written, and is herewith given:
One of the things that serves to
add to Niroqua's attractions and make
it more inviting place in which to
rear a family, is the city park ac-
qulrement and the improvements made
therein. A more natural park grounds
could scarcely be imagined, embracing
as it does six a"-es of the old wooded
camp grounds with its cave under
Strata. and the hills and valley nine
acre tract adjoining on the southeast,
all together a lovely spot for both
summer and winter. Three years since
Mr.. Fred Eckhart endowed this nat
ural beauty spot with gift of $4,000
for improvements and betterments,
and the city council in accepting the
gratuity christened the same eek
hart Park" A park board was chos-
en-, consisting of Messrs. w. Il. Dyson,
c. j. Smith, l.. c. Boyle. Otto Otteson
and II. f. Rogers, Sr. They have
given time, energy and foresight to
prosecuting the work assigned them,
and the place bespeaks the good ac-
complishment made. The old camp
grounds have been cleared, fine pa
vilion constructed, fountain erected
the equipment for this fine fountain
being presented by the local Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. Con-
crete walks have been laid, rustic
seats and benches placed. On the
east section a city play ground estab-
llshed Is much appreciated, with
skating rink and toboggan slide for
winter; a ball diamond and tennis
court for summer. The open air sports
on these grounds are greatly enjoyed
by young and mature citizens.
Niroqua never made a better in
Nestment than the requirement of
these delightful grounds for a natural
park. They are an incentive TO hap
py childhood; to stronger physical
and mental afterlife. Mr. Eckhart,
through. whose public spirit and gen
erosity this accomplishment is bought
will have a place in the memory of the
present generation and those who fol-
low us.
Mr.. ID. T. Buchanan is caretaker.
and supervisor of the park, and he
merits and receives commentator for
his skill and good judgment in doing
things.
