the entire season. 
Since placing seats in this park it is becoming very popular, 
as at all times a great number of people take advantage of the

As Auburn Place is located similarly to Vine and Hollister Streets 
Park, the treatment was very much the same. 
Since the people in that neighborhood have taken such a 
great interest in the park to see that nothing was destroyed, it has 
become much easier to keep it in good park condition than it 
would otherwise have been. 
I make mention of this fact as I feel that, should the public 
generally know the efforts the people of Mt. Auburn are making 
to help embellish their park, it might have a tendency to promote 
a like interest in the neighborhood of other parks, which would 
mean a great saving to the Park Department in maintenance.

Wilson Common is located on Price Hill. As it comes in the 
direct line of the new park plans, there has been very little done, 
with the exception of trimming the grass on the level portion. 
It is so situated that very little can be accomplished in the way 
of drives or approaches unless additional property is acquired. 
In order even to place it in condition for a playground there 
will have to be a very great deal of grading done, as no part of ^ 
it is sufficiently level to place playground paraphernalia on ; con- V 
sequently I have allowed it to lay dormant, that it might be used 
as a portion of the new parkway system.
