Mr.. Rudolph stated. the grounds are
now available for the entire city, as
well as for the community adjacent
to the home. Restrictions necessary
in other parks do not apply in the
Soldiers Home grounds. the Commits
sioner pointed out. because Of the
thorities. All of the advantages now
enjoyed by the community in the
home grounds are at no expense to
the city government, he said.
Under the direction of the pres
ent governor, Gen. Tasker H. Bliss,
the privileges to our citizens have
been greatly enlarged, and one feels
the freedom from restraint upon en-
tering the gates" said the Commits
sioner.
