Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 April 1916 — BAND CONCERT SEASON [ARTICLE]

BAND CONCERT SEASON

Is at Hand and Old Question of Band Stand Is Again Pertinent, The weekly band concerts will start for the season very shortly, and the band would like very much to have a bandstand erected for these concerts. Most people seem to be opposed to disfiguring the court house lawn with a permanent bandstand and appear to think that Milroy park is'the logical place for erecting such a stand. The suggestion was made last season that a floor be placed over the top of the Washington street bridge and the concerts be held therefrom. It would probably cost but a few dollars to make an experiment of this idea, and if the results are satisfactory it would not be very expensive to put up a permanent platform thereon. The Democrat believes the idea is worth trying out in any event.
