Advantages of the Plan—Building Inspector will Keep His Word—That Loan.

man, than 500.

Park Superintendent Power favors the Idea. He said It was put Into practice in parks in other cl tie*, the advantage being not only the producing of good turf, but also the giving of a pastoral effect to the scenery- In some cities, he sold, the sheep are pastured without charge on account of the benefits derived. Mr. Coffin being absent, the matter was not formally decided, but was taken by consent provided he agrees to the plan when he return*. The bowling alleys st Riverside Park were leased to W. M. Swain, he to pay $25 the first year and $50 a year thereafter. The board retains the right of revoking the privilege at will. - J. Harry Roberts received the contract for stone screening walks at Highland Place Park. His bid was C1-5 cents a

square foot.
