1t now generally known that the sum
OF money necessary to purchase the
Mossman property on the shore front has
been raised by subscription, and those
who are interested in soliciting the funds
wish to thank all the contributors, espec-
tally those who have lived away from
town for many years, and so generously
responded to this call; even in many in
stances expressing their pleasure at be-
ing able to do their share Most of them
realized the value of this property as
public park, for the land has been owned
by the Mossman family since 1906, and
duiing that time the town has had the
privilege of using it for public gatherin ss.
If it was to be sold it seemed almost nee
essary that the town purchase it for fu-
ture use. 1t is to be dedicated to oul
boys who died in service during the
World War. therefore, it seems most fit
ting that it should be called Mossman
Memorial Park, which is the name that
it will bear hereafter The Mossman
Memorial Park Association has been in
corporated, and approved by the attor-
ney- general Officers pro tenn have been
selected to act until al annual meeting
can be held early in the summer, prob
ably in June. Capt F. C. Nichols is
president; Capt Joseph Sweetser, vice
president; W. R. Blodgett, clerk; Capt. j.
d. Sweetser, treasurer; D. w. Vaughan,
C. N. Meyers and j. d. Sweetser, trus-
tees. To Mrs. James B. Parse of New
York city and Searsport, who promoted
the scheme, solicited funds, and aideo
the plan in every way possible, great
credit is due.
