work, for any delay now means to further the time when the 
public will have the benefit of a modern, well-equipped gymnasium 
field, a thing that is badly needed in this city. As all other cities

through the annexation of Hyde Park. The fact of its having

thus far. The grass and weeds have been cut throughout the 
past summer. That was about all that could be done with this 
property. There is an additional strip of property adjacent to
