ON CHANGE OF NAME “Erwin Park"_mlmittee and Council Helpless Under Charter Now that a committee has heen ap- pointed to consider changing the | hame of Walnut Hill park to Erwin park in honor of the late C. B. Er- win what is it going to do about it? At best, the committee but make recommendation to the com- can mon council and then it will be found that the council's hands are tied by the charter New Brituin. When all is said and done it will be learned of that there can be no change in name | until such action is autnorized by the legislature. All through the park commission is referred to, mention will “Walnut Hill park” and as it is obviously possible for the council to amend thz charter it will be impossible {o erase reference to this name. The section which drives the blow home from the shoulder says: “The board of park commissioners shall be successors of the park com- issioners of the town of New Brit- in and all authority now, by vested in the park commissioners of said town shall be vested in the board of park commissioners for the city of New Britain. Said commis- sioners shall have the control, man- agement and improvement of the park known as Walnut Hill park and shall succeed to all the rights, pow- ers and duties conferred and imposed upon the park commissioners of the town of New Britain under and by virtue of the will of Cornelius B. Er- win, deceased, and shall expend the income of the fund created for the purposes described in said will of ICornelills B. Erwin in the manner iprOVided and directed by said will.” History of Walnut Hill Park. Councilman O. F. Curtis wrote a letter to the Herald on October 6, 1913, outlining the history of Walnut Hill park. Because of the agitation for the change in name the letter, in part, is reprinted as follows: “Records show that a stock company was formed in 1857 by prominent citizens, among them being F. T. and Timothy Stanley, C. B. Erwin, H. E Russell and George M. Landers, and called the Walnut Hill Park compa with a capital of $5,000 for the pur- the charter in which be found of im- for park purposes. “They purchased about thirty-four acres of land adjoining and including Walnut Hill for $3,000, afterwards building a road starting from a point near the present Emmons place and up to and around the reservoir and also making other improvements. “This samé year by the influence the borough of New Britain was au- thorized to build and did construct 2 water system, the commencement of our present water department. By permission of the Park company the borough ran its Shuttle Mcadow main through the park land and built the reservoir on top of the hill. Legislature Appealed To. “January 11, 1869. twelve vyears after the formation of the park com- pany, a town meeting was held at which it was voted to apply to the legislature for power to buy land not exceeding 100 acres for park purposes | and to build a soldiers’ monument, is- suing bonds thereon to the amount of $50.000, bearing seven per cent. in- terest to pay for the same. “In May, 1869, an act was approved giving the power petitioned for, ex- cept changing the bond issue not to exceed $75,000 to run twenty-five years bering seven per cent. interest. “In town meeting, May 31, 1869, it was voted to approve of the issue of | bonds for park and monument pur- poses, an issue of $50,000 was author- ized to buy the property from the | Walnut Park company, to lay out and | work the same, and §$15,000 to be used ! for building a soldiers’ monument in !said park. H. E. Russell, George M. | Landers and Julius Fenn were elected | park commissioners. Town Takes Over Park. “The park commissioners after or- ganizing purchased from the park from eight other property holders about fifty-six acres of adjoining land for a further sum of $28,400, making a total of about ninety acres for $35,- 900.

A mother cannot do better for her child than to train it from early in- fancy to regular habits, not only as a preventive against much of the illness to which children are more or less subject, but also to insure their health in later life. Normal activity of the bowels is basis of sound health. This is es- pecially true with children in hot weather. Do not neglect any tend- ency they may show to constipation, but promptly administer a gentle lax- ative, that will carry off th econgested | waste without shocking the system. n excellent remedy for this pur- pose is the combination of simple lax- ative herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug stores for only fifty cents a bottle. It does not contain opiates, narcotics, or harmful habit-forming drugs of any description, acts easily and naturally without griping or the other discomfort and is positive its effect.

Deeds Are Recorded. “The records show that in deeds were recorded for the purchase of property bought in 1869 ana 1871, which state they are put on record to take the place of former deeds which were lost. “From 1873 to 1893 very little work was done owing ta want of funds. After the death of C. B. Erwin in 1885, he made a provision in his will for setting aside the sum of $50,000 to to be used for the park up-keep and at the settlement of his estate this fund of $2,000 or $2,500 became avail- able (1893), when work was started in a modest way. It has been con- i tinued with city appropriations up to the present time.” FALK A CANDIDATE TOO.
