Our board had contemplated providing a awlmralng pool In the bed of Spy Run creek.

Just above the proposed new bridge over that stream at Fourth street but the superior ad vantage of this new proposal are auch that we have abandoned tne plan we had In mind New Methods Desired Our board haa Ions; sought to devise some method that would enable our city to speedily acquire certain new park properties which. It Is generally admitted, we shall soon need, while yet they may had at reasonable prices The Cressler, Randall and Lennon grounds, across the river from Swlnney park, may be given aa ad ex ample. Ine very great lmportance ei making that acquisition la snown uy an Illustration hers given. In which la outlined a proposed plan for open In un both a new traffic roadway and a new bouletard driveway to the west. striking the Illinois road at ianaen wood cemetery At present we have dead ends to the west, at Berry, ealeen ln the tate 4n thejprtoaVnf Uvaynej Washington nd Jefferen fnBvr wurtlr atJout flve limrrTtsTaTire 1011 These have been th poor man a Hub the place wnere ne couia roeei his fellows and hold social Intercourse With his friends These club may not always have mlnietered to his iealth morals or general well being or to the comforts of his family, but they have gUen him that pleasure of loclal and friendly Intercourse which men crave anoTto which they are entitled What are wo golrt; to give the poor man and the man without a family when we deprive him of the welcome, the convenience an4 the good fellowship he found In the saloon A Suggeeted Substitute.

A more detailed digest of th new law la filed herewith, Weleeer Park Enlargement Th moat extensive work under takes by our board during the past year has been the enlargement of Welsser park by the addition of fir acres to the north, to the centei line of Eokart street. Once before the board. In obedience to the practically unanimous vote of the qltlxena of the district to consider the matter, under took this enlargement, sut by reason of gross misrepresentation which were made, the Interested property holder, while not filing a sufficient re monstrance, did show such hostility to the movement that the board de elded to rescind Its resolution and drop th matter.

This year it was again taken up, but not before the board had received a petition to do ao by over coo Interested property holders, and on the further representation that the enlargement was very generally desired The average assessment upon the lots In ths benefited district was but IS. certainly 'a small sum to pay for a benefit that win be enjoyed by the city for a thousand years to come During the coming year this park will be greatly Improved, a fine two etory pavllon having already been arranged ror Other 1816 Acquleltiene, During the year a heavily wooded tract of land of about two acres, lying in tne northeast section or the city. waa donated to the board by Nicholas Kluav the Driving Park association and Qrover Layman, owners of the Grasamere addition The park will be known ae Klug park, named In honor or one or tne donors, it will make an meal neignoornooa paric it was chiefly through the efforts of Louis F. curdes that this donation was secured Lot 10. which Jutted into the southwest comer of Lawton park, was pur chased during the year for It 0 and aaaea to tne park area.

Tne six or seven acres of ground lying west of Wells street, and between the Lake Lrle tracks and the St Mary's river, were purchased by the city for the sum of 110 907 21 It had; been held In trust for several yeara, for park purposes, by a member of this board, but It passed to the city without any limitations as to Its use Rudislll Boulevard Pavement During the year a first class asphalt penetration macadam pavement haa been laid on Rudislll boulevard from Broadway to the Piqua road a dis tance of over a rails Property along that portion cf the boulevard Is lr. creasing tery rapidly In value being boulevard of the dty Many fine home will be erected upon It the coming season, wherever sewer and water accommodations can be had. In the paving of this boulevard much needed earth was secured for grading about the Broadway pumping station and for widening the approach to Foster park, south of the Uluffton bridge Other Imprnvimsnti: commodious and attractive w. story, combination refectory, pavilion. icoi Bouse ana puDjio conuort station was erected In Lakeside park, at a cost of $1800.

An electrically driven pump, with which to maintain the level In the water In Lakeside lake and lagoons, waa Installed at an In take well constructed in the Bt Joe river A pipe line laid In Ills con veya the Water to the lagoons Th pump has proven a euccess and fur nlshea a water aupply practically free ironv sewacpsiuuea. When Fort Wayne's Indlahn renten. nlal celebration waa to be held, the committee decided that there waa no other place so suitable to atage the pageant as at Reservoir park. The building of the atage upon the Island and the amphitheatre tison the anaca In front running back to and up the reservoir embankment, necessitated the removal of our tool house 'and quite a number of the tree which had attained a considerable growth As much as ws disliked to give our consent that this should bs done, we finally yielded In acquiescence with what seemed to be the general desire of the people ofrort Wayne, It was agreed by the fentennlal committee that a thousand dollars ahould be paid to our board with which to repair the damage that would be done to the grounds. This sum was therefore ex pended In restoring conditions to what Itney were oerore the celebration, ao far a that was possible.

The tool house waa removed and again set up In Foster park, and later In the season an attractive combination tool house and publlo comfort station waa erected lust south of the reservoir em bankment The buildings have been removed from Slellng park and the grading and planting of trees, shrubs etc. will be completed the coming season Another Wayne Equestrlsn Status The Anthony Wayne monument commission leported to our board that It had choaen Qeorga E.

The issuancs of Bonds But city oOlclala have felt that the comparatively small borrowing capacity of our city, under our low atata constitutional limit of debt ahould not be lessened, for fear some emergency might arise where all that capacity would be needed. They have therefore been a erse to an Issue of bonds 1 for acquiring, park, ah4 have been inclined to beueve inai in this they represented the wishes of their constituents The readiness with which our people recently voted ten to one, for the Issue of 1225,000 of bonds for the building of an auditorium Is calculated to lead one to doubt whether our officials have correctly Interpreted public aentlment Statistics gathered by our board a few years ago from all the cities of the country demonstrated that proposed" bond Issues for park purposes had almost Invariably carried, by large majorities when sub mltted to a vote of the people An Investment. Not a Tsx. Acquisition of land properties by the city Is an investment not a tax, and an Investment which so rapidly Increases In value that If our American cities were run simply as great business enterprises which la all they really are could be.

If such lands were wisely handled made to pay the running expenses of our city government as Is to day the situation In certain German cities Een now, when Fort Wsyne has any bonds to anil, she can say to probable pur Chasers that our park lands alone are worth over 1750 000 more than double our entire city debt Qur New parK peara uw, Ruv accenting' the situation aa It exists our beard.
