The Project For A Park

Evart II. Scott was here Saturday morning and had a consultation with Alderman Coon relative to the former's proposition to give a park to the city. Arrangements are under way for the park committee of the common council consisting of Aldermen Coon, Douglas and Robinson, together with Mr. Scott, to go over the property Mr. Scott proposes to give the city for park purposes together and this will be done in the near future. Mr. Scott will come in from the lake for that purpose. It is expected the proposition will be formulated and presented to the council at its next meeting.

The proposition appears to be pleasing the people as all who have spoken of the matter to the Argus have expressed gratification over the proposed gift. It is to be hoped the matter may early be consummated and the city come into possession of this beautiful piece of ground for park purposes. No farther advices from the electric railway have been received, but Ald. Coon feels pretty confident that the company will do its part.
