bers Of the club are starting move
ment to interest the park board Of the

declared that they would invite the
members Of the board of park commits,
sioners to consider plans foc the aequi-
sitlon of this property forsthe use Of

gestion is that the city. take over the
lease, purchase. or by gift, if such can
be possible all of the land now used by

The golf links property proper has been

admirably situated for a public park
There is land enough along the lake

lower than it could be secured at some

property be taken over by the city are
not in any way seeking ito shift the

proposed new club and the report of
this committee will be one of the fea-

pie of the city have chance to become

concentrations to the council that the
