Im fcat, the i'fl\\ is most commendable and should be endorsed by:gil.: citizens who have the welfare of the city at heart™ and_delight in, its civic pride. What matter under which: department the ptop-\ erty is carried, the sehool board, the park board or the city council. The same_people will own it. in either event,.so there is no need to change the ownership of title. Just lét’s have a park or play- ground, in this section of the city. It will improve property values and beantlfy the surroundings in flm splendid resident kection of the city.
