some FACTS IN REGARD
TO THE N MORAL
BUILDING IN PARK


ONLY on putting building in the
Park. Nothing else is to be voted
on at that time and any statements or
insinuations otherwise are not true.
Every property owner and citizen
OF Lakeland have equal rights legal
and otherwise, to use of the Park.
The records show that the Park
belongs to the city and that the city
has the right to put a building in
the northwest or northeast corner of
The Park for state, county city or
Park use.
Any building put in the Park will
be city property and belong to the
city and not controlled by any pri-
vate organization but should be man
aged by board of trustees so as to
keep it out of politics.
1t is untrue and willful misrepre-
sentation for any citizen of Lakeland
to state that any private organization
is trying to get control of the build
ing for private use.
Such statements are maliciously
made to injure the cause by preju-
diced parties that do not have the
good of the cause at heart not truly
6esire the best interest of Lakeland.
A Memorial building properly de i,
signed and planned will beautlfy the
Park be an ornament and far more
esthetic than what is there now.
A Community building adequate for
all use will not occupy over 60 by 80
feet of ground near the northwest
corner while the official records set
apart 100 by 100 feet for a building
for state, county, city or Park use.
This building with cement walks,
flowers and grass properly placed
will add attractiveness, grace and
beauty to the Park far beyond any
it has ever had.
A Community building properly
planned and placed in the Park will
accommodate more civic interests,
more efficiently and more economical
ly than any building placed elsewhere
and | challenge any one to present
the facts to prove otherwise.
Insinuations, inuendoes, misrepre-
sensations are not proof, accomplish
nothing, stir up strife and contention
and are unworthy and unbecoming
any citizen of Lakeland that has any
real regard for the worthy cause this
memorial is to represent.
A Community building elsewhere
will cost six, eight or ten thousand
dollars more for a lot and other reas-
ons, Will those opposed to the build
ing being in the Park GUARANTEE
to raise that amount in addition to
their subscription to building in the
Park?
Criticisms, talk, hot air, accomplish
nothing when 1t takes dollars and
cents to do business. Let us have real
business in dollars and cents. The
committee working gratuitously for
the good of the cause and best inter
ests of the city have this PROPOSE
ton to face. II the opposition really
means to build Memorial, let US
have the evidence in substantial
guarantee that we can rely on.

Chairman Committee.
