THE CENTRAL CITY PARK

In March the B Jard Of Directors OF
the Chamber o. Commence, realizing
that thete was desire on the Tart OF
large number of the citizens of Edgel
ton to secure, for the city, suitable
land to form the basis of City Park
system, appointed a park committee
to investigate and recommend deslr-
able site for this purpose.
At an open meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce held on June 9th this
committee reported that they had OBJ
tanned options upon the properties
now owned by w. T. Pomeroy, &C.
Moen, P. M. Ellingson, Clarence Sven
son, and E. B. Ellingson, located be-
tween Swift and Main streets, at
prices which they considered reason
able.
The members present voted unani-
mously to petition the City Council to
purchase this property. All members
present, except one, signed this petl-
ton and it was presented to the Coun-
Gil. The Council, after careful investi-
CATION and consideration voted in IA
vor of the purchase of this property,
and an ordinance providing for bond
issue of $18,000.00 to cover the pur-
chase price was drawn, published ano
adopted by the Council.
Within thirty days petition sign
ed by more than ten percent of the vo
tiers was placed on file, which petition
made necessary vote upon the pro-
posed bond issue. The Council set the
date of the special election for this
purpose on September 9Th.
There appears to be some confusion
in regard to the purchase of this Cen
trail City Park and the proposed pur-
chase of the Driving Park property.
The City Council and the Chamber
of Commerce have BOTH voted in ia
vor of purchasing BOTH properties.
The Council has not as yet adopted
the necessary ordinance for the pur-
chaseof the Driving Park. The Council
HAS taken the legal steps necessary
to purchase the Central Park, as out
lined above. It is upon the question OF
purchasing the Central Park only,
that the election will be held on Sept.9
The present assessed valuation OF
the city is $780,, 471.00. The ordin
ance passed by the City Council pro-
vides funds for payment for this park
in the sum of $18,000.00, paying 5000.

ing from AZ cents per thousand valua-
ton for the first year, to "a cents per
thousand for the last year, or an av-
erage of SO cents per thousand, will
be all that is necessary. This tax will
also decrease each year as the assess
ed valuation of the city increases.
We believe that every voter in this
city should give this matter careful
and honest consideration, and be pre-
sent at the polls on Sept. 9th to vote
for OF against a Central Park.

When the savage tribe came to do

The auditorium, from which the
steps of the grand stairway lead up

equally attractive, built in semi-cir-
cular lines and extending the entire
length of the facade. The ceiling is
formed in high and low graded arches,
with paintings by Charlemont. An in

corridors is used as a picture gallery;
it has a collection of water colors and
oil paintings of the leading actors and

of Austria. Passing through massive
Doric columns, which were constructed
by Peter Won Hobile in 1924, admis-
sion is gained to the place of He

wing was here added in 1SS7-94, COM
pleted as late as 1907. Further on to-
ward the eastern side of the grounds
monuments stand, the largest in the
capital. That on the left is of Prince
Eugene. The base of the statue is
of white marble, and the middle sec
ton is carved in inches, with four
black marble inscribed slabs between.
Above is the figure of Prince Eugene
on a rearing horse. Beneath are sup
porting figures of women holding gar
lands, with crowns upon their heads.
The equestrian monument of Arch
duke Charles stands opposite. This is
a tribute to the man who defeated
Napoleon at Aspern, and his dress is
strongly significant of that period. A

the archduke and shields and wreaths

Ascending a winding, massive white
stoop the visitor is led to the interior
of a section of the palace set aside for
visitors. After gaining entrance to the
lobby, guards approach with slippers
made of carpet material, and each
person is expected to protect the floors
of the imperial Hofburg by wearing
the same over his shoes.
This large room is rich in simplicity
and lighted by a chandelier of rare
value, which drops very low from the
ceiling, suspended by bronze chains
attached to protruding claws, while the
lights of singular and innumerable
electric candles are held in place by
the hands of angels. Low chairs in
bench form with rose colored velvet
seats and guided backs hug the walls
in circular fashion. O.

small in another; how many fish a
body of water may support.
About 1000 fish were tagged two
years ago, but SO few were returned
that it was thought that the tags
placed on fins were lost. A new tag
to be placed on the gill was therefore
devised. A few scales of each tagged
fish are preserved because the fish's
age may be determined from the rings
on the scales.
Doctor Pearse has gathered much in
formation in the last five years con-
corning the habitats, foods, habits and
best growing conditions of fresh-water

retains the many features that
in years past have proved attractive
to tourists. Not the least of these are
its imperial playhouses and palaces.
Occupying full square block on the
famous Ringstrasse in Vienna stands
the Imperial opera house. Two bronze
figures, symbolic of music, adorn the
left and right wings of the building.
These and the ornamental candelabrae
at the entrance were designed by Fritz
Zenitsch
The opera house, erected in 1861-69,
is four stories high, with five front en-
frances and six side ones, built en-
tirely of white stone. 1t is of Vene-
tan style, principally of the Renais-
sance period, with mixture of French
architecture of the same time.
Directly on the main avenue is a
balcony above the entrance over which
are five arches, each having statue
of a renowned musician. At the ex-
treme sides, slightly higher, are two
imposing bronze figures seated upon
horses.
Scenes depicted from 'The Magic
Flute" form frescoes in the loggia.
The foyer is resplendent in color
scheme of red and gold. Many heavy
bronze doors lead into the foyer, some
being draped with red plush curtains.
An old marble mantelpiece stands at
one end, with carved and gilded
grating.
The ceiling is ornamented by rare
paintings; at the sides are buStS OF
composers The walls are enriched
with wreaths of flowers and fruit CHS
eled in stone, making a decidedly bril-
liant showing against a black marble
background.
The auditorium, one of the finest
anywhere abroad, was finished by
Bitterlich, while the drop curtain used
in gay operas was painted by Lauf-
berger, that for tragic purposes, being
designed by Rail. The imperial box is
located in the center, with seating
capacity of two dozen persons, for the
royal family and guests of nobility.
It protrudes slightly beyond the other
ioges, and bears the Austrian seal and
flag.
Magnificent Imperial Theater.
The Imperial Theater, on the Lowell
baster section of the Ringstrasse, is
equally magnificent. The exterior has
statues of Phaedra, Don Juan, Falstaff
and Hanswurst. The surrounding
inches contain the busts of poets.
A feature Of singular note is the
grand staircase of 100 steps. Tall
lamps at the base and head illuminate
the wide ascent, and the sides are
