decomposition of our science.
1.-THE third great point about the
wise men was that they discovered the

PARK BOND issue
TO Be VOTED ON
Admission Will Decide
Whether Or Not Money
Shall Be Expended

ADMISSION, Ala, May 25.-Annis-
ton citizens will go to the polls Mon
day, June 30, and decide whether the
city shall issue $4,000 worth of park
bonds or not, it has been decided by the
city council. The election has been
called in response of many requests
made by various civic organizations
since agitation was first started sew
eral weeks ago for the establishment of
public park and playground in the
city.
The late Colonel w. H. linn, philan-
thrOpist, provided in. his will for a
maintenance fund of $4,000 to be used
for the upkeep of park and also stip-
ulated that several vacant lots, located
near the heart of the city, belonging
to his estate, be converted into a park
if the city would purchase sufficient
surrounding ground to make modern
and complete playground for children
and park for the public.
City officials state that it will re-
quire $4,000 to purchase the neces-
sary ground, which includes the site
of the old Admission Inn, once ia
nous hotel of this city.

o'clock it had disappeared. Up to a
late hour Sunday no trace of the car
