LAND PROMISED
 FOR PARK SITE
Bunker Hill Residents Put Proposals Before Board
 of Aldermen

A group of Bunker Hill residents is ready to advance part or all of the $30,OO0 needed to buy land for park in that section if the city will agree to develop and maintain it, 1t was reliably reported today. The proposed park would be lo- cated on Bunker Hill avenue, be- yond the Bunker Hill Congregational church.
 At a meeting of the board of ale dermen Monday night a deslgation appeared to ask for Q Bunker Fill park, members of the group stating that their section of the city had been sighted. The delegation sub- mitted a detailed proposal with maps, and tod the board that the Macauley estate would give the city one large tract for park purposes if another tract were bought at a price of $21, 900. Also, the board was told the waterbury Ash Re- moving O., would donate Q tract If another were bought at a cost of 5000.
 The aldermen appointed a com mittee consisting of Aldermen Daniel Driscoll, John Kopcha and James Abercrombie, the last @ Bunker Hill resident, to discuss the proposal with the boards of finance and park commissioners and with residents of the section.
 If the city should decline to spend $30,000 for the land, 1t was said today, several Bunker Hill residents will agree to meet all or part of the cost provided the city agrees to incorporate the land into the park system and to develop and maintain 1t.
 The location proposed is large enough to provide varied recrea- tional facilities, such as baseball and football fields, e skating rink and Q playground, also for such park fea- lures as nature trails, flowers, etc.
