Park Department 
35 
The lawn has been kept mowed, the trees trimmed, and such 
other work done as was possible with the ground remaining in 
its crude state. This is about all that can be accomplished with 
this piece of property until funds are provided to place it in park 
condition, a feature which should be taken up at the earliest date 
possible. 
The question of placing lights in this park to make it more 
useful for the public has been taken up by the councilman in 
charge of that district, and a limited number of benches were 
placed within the park during the past summer. 
As the population near this property is increasing very rapidly, 
and the popularity of the park growing accordingly, I would re- 
spectfully request your honorable board to make every possible 
effort to raise sufficient funds to place it in park condition at the 
earliest possible date.
