An idea of the greas value of the Park to the publiq, is bees shown by asking each pers to pay $1.60 who eaters the Park during next year, and with the money thus collected the Commissioners could pay off the entire cost of the Park, and have money! enough left over to complete the largest part of the/ work romaining to be done.
