The area proposed is in an undeveloped and unfinished state, which has had theeffect of keeping the market value of this property at alow ebb. No other tract of equal area so close to the business district can ever be acquired at anything like the low cost which this ground will entail. It should be acquired now, by condemnation. and my ad ode will wadily be recogniaed.

The poor people and the people of modest incomes residing, by necessity, close to the business district (an area which will continually become more congested) are the people who most need this park, and there are hundreds of families living in apartment houses and family hotels near by, who also need it. Many poor families do not use the outlying parks because they cannot afford the expense of car fare to reach them. It costs a man with a family of three or four children about 50 cents every time he takes them to one of our outlying parks, and there are hun- dreds of them in this city, as in all large cities, who cannot afford it. Have you property owners stopped to figure how much it would cost you, individually, to give this park to those people who cannot afford to take their families out to the parks near your homes? It would cost the man at Green Lake, Brighton Beach, or any other part of this city About FIFTEEN CENTS A YEAR! CAN YOU AFFORD IT? YES, YOU CAN! 4th—If these Central Park bonds are not voted, a regrade of this hill is certain to follow, which would involve the city in b Tu rrel f S an expense far greater than these bonds would entail. The county would suffer a loss of the present court house build- 903 SECOND AVE.

The down town and close in property owners, the people who pay three- fourths of all the city:taxes, want this park, AND THEY ARE ENTITLED TO IT. They do not begrudge the “rim of the city” the splendid parks which the Park Board has already so wisely provided, and will liberally add to if the two million dollar bond issué® catries, and these down town residents and taxpayers ask that those voters living further out evince a spirit of fairness by voting for the bonds for this Central Park. These down town property owners and voters are going to vote for BOTH bond issues and you should do the same. 7th—This park proposition has been widely endorsed. The members of the Park Board, individually, are in favor of this Central Park; The Chamber of Commerce has endorsed it; The Playgrounds Association has endorsed it; The Washington Art Association has endorsed it, and in this connection let it be said that this park will furnish a magnificent site for the Art Museum; The Building Managers Association has endorsed it; IAN 0 |MY CHILDREN CANNOT Bm HDT FOR RENT. caren Kohler & Chase, 1318 Second Av.
