w H. Campbell, who Is visiting
relatives here, states that he does
not believe the Kennewick citizens
realize what an unusually fine city
park we have. Mr.. Campbell Is from
David City, Nebraska and helped
lay plans and arrange the park in
that city as well as helping with
many others. He states that he
has. also seen many parks In larger
cities, but he has never seen any
park arranged as well as the local
one. -
Mr.. Campbell says that the ar
rangement Of the picnic equipment
makes II very useful and convenient
and that the trees being planted
along the southwest side furnish
the needed shade and With the 9TH
.er trees there Is plenty Of shade to
be found throughout the entire day.
He says that the combination Of
equipment and playground In an
oblong shape makes 1t one Of the
most useful Of any park he has seen
today.

rangements to complete the en-
trance of the newly christened

new work at the Grange plant, this
Permit was not secured, nor were
the plans put on file. A special

taken or insurance rates would be-

that the city fire apparatus had
