PARK AND CEMETERY.

PARK NOTES 
{Continued from page 615'' 
Vinton, la., has recently held an 
election upon a proposition to pur- 
chase a park. It carried by a sub- 
stantial majority. 
Through a donation of land, which 
-will be made at an early date by 
Horace Williamson and B. M. Camp- 
bell, the city of Youngstown, O., will 
comes into possession of about 15 acres 
of land adjoining South Side Park 
which will make an excellent addition 
to the South Side Park, inasmuch as 
the greater part of it is covered with 
trees, which will tend to make up for 
the inadequate shade the park now 
affords. With this addition the park 
will comprise about 22 acres and can 
"be converted into an ideal pleasure 
spot. The name of Williamson Park 
-will be suggested to the Park Com- 
mission as a courtesy to Horace Wil- 
liamson, who will be one of the don- 
ors of the land. Mr. Williamson has 
also done much toward advancing the 
civic conditions of that section of the 
■city. 
Under the plans of Commissioner 
Thompson of the Department of Wat- 
•er Supply, New York City is to get 
a remarkable new park space. This 
park will be on top and a part of the 
plant that is to be built in the easter- 
ly basin of the Jerome Park reservoir 
for the filtration of the water of the 
■Croton watershed. The park space is 
to be only incidental to the construc- 
tion of the filtration plant, which is to 
be covered in order to prevent dirt 
-from getting into the water. It is 
•estimated that it will take about four 
years to complete the work, by which 
time it is probable that the reservoir 
park will be made accessible by one 
of the new transit lines proposed in 
the report adopted recently by the 
Board of Estimate. 
Plans have been submitted to the 
Park board of New Bedford, Mass., 
■for proposed changes at Brooklawn and 
Hazelwood parks. At Brooklawn park 
it is proposed to dig a large pond, 
some two acres in area, the larger 
■part to be used in winter for skating 
and the smaller part to be used in 
summer as a wading pond for the 
children. At Hazelwood park, the 
changes proposed are in the remodel- 
ing of the old Lucas house as a com- 
fort station. The house will be made 
over to contain waiting rooms and 
lavatories.
