The residents of the Third Ward are
to be congratulated on the fact that
two of its most unobtrusive, patriotic
and generous citizens have provided
very fine Flagstaff and a beautiful
American flag for the triangular park
at the junction of West Main and
Chestnut SITS. Mr.. F. H. Sporleder is
the donor of the staff, which he select
ed some time ago, and it has been
seasoned and finished under his i'm
mediate supervision fact il is said
by the cognoscenti that he has done
all the work on it. The flag is the
gift of Mr. Abram Lefeber, who has
| devoted considerable time to obtaining
flag that viii meet all requirements
enjoined by wind and weather and still
be of sufficiently fine texture and
weave to reflect dignity on the COM
munity. The flag and staff are in
charge of Alderman Hayes, of the
Third Ward, who has ever since its
arrival been custodian of the field
piece acquired from Germany during
the world war, and presented to the
| city by Mr.. E. j, Kearney. 1t seems
| fitting at this time to recommend to
the Common Council that the park, in
which the staff is set and the cannon
planted. be adorned and named. and
as DR. S. S. Leonard gave the land to
the city, why not call it LEONARD
PARK?
