Points Abont the Parks. “How about the parks!" asked a BEE man of Commissioner Graham yesterday. “The parks? What do yon want to know about them? I'm ready to give any information that the public wants, that I can give.” “There’s been a good deal of about the proposed levy, to be voted on at the coming election. Have the com- missioners any showing of what has heen done, or what is to be done, so that the volers can know just how matters stand ¥’ SAILT can give is just the f stand. You know we commissioners, J. Brown, Thomas O nd myself, were chosen about a yea of one mill was made. That amounted to about $8,500. Of course, there was no eash, the taxes not beginning to come in until now, so t ¢ had to plan on running the parks really two year this amount. As it was we had o anti pate the tax, ana had to arrange per sonally for the ne vy money wntil the taxes should be paid We have ex- pended about $1,000 so far.” “What has this money gone for?” “Why, just to keep the parks up. You see the parks are now taken right out of the hands of the city, and all the ex 0s have to bo paid from this levy. policemen, keeping up roads and valks, trimming and all that sort of work,'so a8 to keep the parks in shape for the people to enjoy them. It does not leave much money for any wim provements. There lots of such im provements which are needed, thovgh.” “There has been some talk about money heing spent ¢ rks outside of the city. How much has been thus spent?” “Nonscnse, There not been enough spent to speak of. There has been paid all for sury the lines, so that y could protect its property, about .

Further than t the fact is that the shooting club has ground 11 it wants, and in- stead of these grounds being the ones held by the city at Carr’s ke for park purposes, these shooting grounds are ln\u' miles from C: Inke, and in Mills county, and are owned and controlled by tne club. ‘There is no reason for confus- ing these facts, so as to give the mpres- sion thut the shooting efub wants a_cent of this fund.

S0 many such rumors and reports a being circéulated that it scems as if there must be some parties who are very anx ious to defeat the proposed tax” levy.
