THAT CITY PARK.
There has been much said pro
and con about n city park. The
petition that has been circulated
calls for a sum of $75,000 to be
voted for the pnrpdse of providing
a city dock and a city park. We
believe that both objects are wor
thy of the most earnest considera
tion and effort of every individual
citizen of St. Johns.
There are two propositions as to
the park. The first to which otir
attention was called is Cedar Park,
the price of which wc have not
been told. The other location for

Thu supreme court has decided
that where two brutes armed with

a leather strap, arc not guilty to
the charge'of assault under section
1 766 of Uellinger and Cotton's an

whether it is cowhide or bull wining

This may be "lese majestic" and if
it meets the eye of the infallible

point of land lying on the bluff
overlooking the dry dock. There
are six or seven acres of this lot
nnd it reaches down to the water
front at the north end of the strip
and has 38 feet of water front on
the north side of the street. The
highest point of laud is partly
cleared, so that tenuis grounds and
other play grounds could be easily
and at little expense installed. The
edge of the cliff is covered with
large fir trees and other smaller
trees and bushes which could be
trimmed and made into a most de
lightful shady resort. Prom here,
too, a fine view of Portland nnd
the river from the steel bridge down
to I.iiinton is obtained. In fact it
is fhu most desirable location for a
Council Alccting.

of the purchase of lots 3, 4, 5, and
6 of James John's addition to St.
Johns for dock purposes was
brought up by the reading of two
communications, one from Mr.
Holbrook and the other from Mr.
Pmghatn, his partner in the lots.
The price asked for the lots, $25,
000, while nbotit $2000 or $3000
too high should be accepted by the
city at once and immediate stops
taken to erect the dock and im
prove Philadelphia street so that
the work may be pushed to an
early conclusion, and not be per
mitted to drag through another
year without anything being done.
If this location is not secured
now it will be sold to some one else
who will not sell it to the city, for
there are interests which arc work
ing against this city to the fullest
extent of their ability and if our
people are sleepyhcndcd enough to
K.-rmit it, they will soon have our
hands tied so that wc will be help
less to extend the improvements of
the city, except along such lines as
they desire, and for their own
emolument. JJcsiries that, there is
not such another desirable place for
a city dock. The recorder was
instructed to notify Messrs. Hoi-
the city

the matter would be .submitted to
the voters mid requested them to
hold the lots until the bonds were
