First Stretch Concrete Bed.
Especial Correspondence

Geneseo, Ill, Aug. 31.-The work
being done by the Dunnegan Con-
struction Co. on the hard road west
from the Main street bridge is max
ing rapid progress. The results in
the laying of the seven-inch con-
crete bed on last Monday was a
record breaker. The total length
of the 18-foot width of roadway fin
ished that day was 600 feet. This
accomplishment is extraordinary as
an average days work is from 400
to $50 feet per day.
The grading and leveling on the
second mile is being pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible. 1t
seems that the promise to have the
western four miles completed by
the first of October will be full
filled.

DESIRE TO BRING HENRY COUNTY

NEED OF CITY ATHLETIC FIELD

Is the stretch Of land lying east of
the Ellsberry seed corn house,
known as the old Ramsey" pas
ture. It lies south of the right of
way of the Rock Island railway and
extends south to North street. At
it's greatest width It is about 500
feet wide. It extends east about
200 feet, and contains about six
teen acres. An athletic field and
playground at the west will use
about nine acres to provide all ac-
tivities and equipment necessary.
The remaining acres could be de-
voted to agricultural experimental
plots in connection with the work
Of the high school
With a field devoted to athletics
an actually one of Geneseo's
greatest needs Will be realized 1t
will bring about wonderful results
in the life and health OF this COM
munity. Located as it is within
three blocks of the business center
Of the town and at Its southern
point only three short blocks from
the high school it offers an ideal To-
cation. A grandstand or steel and
concrete should be built; baseball
diamond ana IOOlDdl1 Aci0 "O0AO b0
laid out next to this proposed amphi-
theatre. Tennis and volley ball and
croquet courts will be provided.
For those who like the games,
horseshoe and quoits and roly-boly
outfits will be purchased. Play
grounds equipment will be installed
for the younger children. A run
ming track of q third of a mile can
be laid in the dimensions OF this
field Another feature of great
value would be a wading pool Of
shallow depth built Of concrete, in
size about 15Ox250 feet This would
afford no little comfort and pleas
ure to old and young folks.
Should Be Memorial.
This field should become a mem
orial field in honor Of those who
served in the late World war. Gen
eseo has no permanent memorial
and nothing that could be done
would bring as much benefit to this
community as public athletic
field and playground. The members
Of the high school alumni essocia-
ton is fully awake to the posi-
bilities of this undertaking and
will likely soon have some message
to offer to the people Of this victn-
ity.

Geneseo, ILL.,. Ang. 31.-Professor
and MrA ]. D. Darnall returned
from a trip Of a few days into lower
Wisconsin last evening. They were
at the DeIls for a day.
Professor Darnall and Coach
Pruitt are In Kewanee today to be
present at meeting Of the Henry
County Inter-Scholastic Athletic
association Superintendent Edmon
of the city's grade schools Is out Of
town and unable to attend.
At this meeting the time and
place of the next Henry county
school field meet will be selected.
The GeReseo schools have won the
cup which Is emblematic of the
county championship for the past
two years. II won next spring it
will remain IN permanent posses
sion OF the Geneseo schools. Under
these conditions 1t Is the sincere
wish Of Principals Darnal and
Edman to invite the schools of
Henry county to come to Geneseo
next May for the annual field meet
This is impossible simply because
of the fact that Geneseo has no ath-
Ietc field which could be used for
that purpose. AS a result Geneseo
is compelled to make its effort for
final possession OF the trophy on
foreign fields.
Alumni Propose 1t.
The matter of a public athletic
field and chtldren's playground was
brought forward at meeting of the
High School Alumni association
year ago. A committee was ap-
pointed to look into the possibility
of finding an acceptable location.
At that time the plan of Mayor
Charles G. Davis to establish two
Secreational parks was being con-
sidered. The one on the north
side, as planned, was to be located
on the old ball park site which was
located in the second block east of
the North Side school. The south
side park was to be situated on the
approximately seven acres in the
fat iron strip at the junction of
State street and lakewood avenue.
Rather than come before the people
of Geneseo with second proposal
of somewhat similar nature the
committee of the high school alum
nj preferred to defer action until
such time as the first plan either
became a fact or a dead issue.
The extraordinary interest which
the people of this community have
shown in all athletics and espec-
tally school athletics, certainly
points to the success at a not dis
tant future date of the establish
ment of ali athletic field and play
ground which is one of Geneseo's
greatest needs.
