the parks committee of the 19311 town
council. - l
In the course of events ot succeed -
Ing yearn the court house was erected r
in the park which represents the hub t
of the wheel, and paths led In from t
all directions and were lined with w
trees.
To further improve the appearance of
the park the e,uncll de•Ided to border
the walk, with curbing, and the job
wan begun on Tuesday.
Two paths were staked out under
the direction of member's of the parks
committee when the obataele was made
apparent. The path' do not converge
on the centre of the court honer, but
at earl' end. north and mouth, thus
making It impsalble to (hairy out the
octagonal arrangement of the "Square"
and have the paths join the Inner curb -
Ing 5t the vertices of an octagon
parallel to the one at the roadway.
The stakes were pulled up on Wed-
