Band Stand Site.
Such park would AFFORD an ideal
site for a bandstand. A stand could
be erected out over the river, where
the music. unobstructed, could be en-
joyed by an audience seated in the
park. and later when the river has been
cleared of dead-heads, canoeists could
enjoy the music out on the river. There
are other possibilities. A. bathing
beach could be established a short ways
up the river, and a driveway could be
established down by the damn and out
on Second street or even over to Maple

county boy who has made the supreme
sacrifice in the war, with a properly in
scribed tablet showing in whose honor
the tree has been planted.

enacted at this session Of the legisla-
ture authorizing counties to expend
funds for memorials of this kind, and
if this Is done, the city and county to-
gether ought to be able to handle the
