proved at once, and wben the proposed Improvements have bee- ,nade It
will be the most magnificent pi-.tilc park In Portland. These improve
ments include the creation of extensive botanical gardens, an enlarge

have been made to conform to the proposed driveways of the park. As soon
as e improvements in Ladd Park are completed, then prices In Laurel
