More About Parks
Editor Review: As the date
of the annual election is draw
insr'near. that is April Gth, and
the important question of park
locations for the city of St.
Johns will be voted on at that
election, and as I feel that the
question of park locations is one
rcfrardinR which all should be
interested and informed, I want
to Rive the voters of St. Johns
such assistance as I can that will
aid them in casting an intelligent
vote.
I have read the Committee's
renort of March 2Gth on the sub
ject of parks for St. Johns, and
as that renort advises every vol
er to make a visit to the various
tracts that have boon offered for
park sites, I have followed the
suggestion.
1 want to call particular niton
tion to the tract called the Ca-
Clcs Tract, which is one that has
cen olTerod for a park site, fac
ing on Dawson street, and I
want to call tlio attention of Die
voters to the fact that this tract
lies considerably below grade.
and in addition to the high price
which the city will bo compelled
to pay for the same in case it
should be selected by the voters,
at least $2,000 will be required
to nil in the tract to the proper
grade, and in comparing tins
with the neighboring tract,
which has been olTered for park
site, the Jaeger tract, it .com
pares very unfavorably, as the
Jaeger tract is at least two feel
above grade, which will give il
proper drainage and allWl am
ple opportunity for sloping pur
poses, and thereby add beauty
to it without much expense, and
the Jaeger tract also has quite a
number of fine trees on it, which
could be left and utilized for
beautifying purpoues.
1 have aso beon informed that
tho owners of the Caples tract
bavo been conducting a vigoroiiH
campaign, during which she has
circulated lilernture from house
to house, advocating what she
calls a "centrally located park,"
meaning by this the niliclmsj of
the uipics tract and uIho of the
Jaeger tract, I presume, joining
them in one park site, and by so
doing, uoieai the selection o
park sites in other purl of St
Johns.
While I have no objection to
the solection of tho Jaeger tract
for park purpoHoa, I do bulievo
thero is good reason for objec
tion to tho selection of the Ca
nles tract, and joining tho two,
and having only one park in the
city or bt. Johns.
Krom my investigations, and
from what I have learned of
others who have been intereatix
in this question, tho Cnllin tract
should not bo overlooked by the
voters oi tins city, and the Cut
lin tract chosen in preference for
tho Caplos tract; will need no
lining in, and has nt Die prestMit
time beautiful tree growing
on it, tnus avoiding a grout don
of expense in the planting of
trees, mid it lias a view surimsH
ing any park site in Uu city of
bt, Johns, and even surimssing
any view that can be obtained
from any park in the city of
Portland. Oregon; and while, n
1 linvo snid before, I Imve no 1
A 1 il t . ...

Move the public in tlmt commu
nuy are untitled to one, 1 muttt
emphatically statu tlmt I believe
the people in North St. John
are also entitlod to a park ito.
and that tho Cntlin tract is the
one nbovo all others that should
bo chosen for that purpose.
i aiso wnni 10 say irom my in
vestigation that I think that the
people in Hunt St. Johns are en
titled to a park, and that the
Cook tract would bo n very good
choice for that purpose, ami
should not be overlooked bj the
voters, as it is oll'orod for a ivn
sonblo price; it is woll situated
for park purposos, and should be
considered as far superior to the
Caplos tract.
1 have furthor ascertained that
tho cost of buying and maintain-

Johns- that is to say, the Cntlin
tract, tho Jaogor tract and th
uook irnct would not ex cm
tlio sum or dac per annum to
each property ownor. nnd 1 f
that tho city of St. Johns is go
ing to bo one of such sisso that
it will certainly need three park
in a very fow years to como, if
it is not by some considered to
need them now, nnd tho oxpori
once of nil citios that have hm
the growth that St. Johns is
having, nnd is going to have,
nas oeen that in their infnncv
they havo been short sighted in
the selection of park sitos, have
neon satisiicd with only ono in
me central part of tho town,
which has brought about tho on
ly ono result; that is. as the
years go on nnd tho city grows,
and tho children need plncos for
recreation, ns well ns tho older
folks, tho city hns been compell
ed to select other sites in tho
different sections of tho city nnd
pay a price many times greater
than would havo beon necossnry
if these tracts had been selected
and purchased during tho days
of the early growth of tho citv,
and as I am u property ownor In
the city of St. Johns nnd always
expect to be, and am very proud
f the city, and desirous to sea it
grow and .beautify itself, I want
to urge upon every voter in tins
city to intelligently consider this
park question, and take advnn
tngc of tho experience that has
been taught othoi cities, and by
which wo can profit by selecting
three park sites at this time,
when we can secure Jthem at a
reasonable price; that is the Cnt
lin, Jaogor and Cook 'sites, as I
believe they are the best sitos
that have beon offered the city,
and I want further to call your
attention to tho fact that there
is considerable agitation on the
question of consolidating the
city of St. Johns with that of
Portland, and as this is a thing
that is liable to happen and must
bo considered us very probable
that should we become a part
of the city of Portland we will
no doubt never have opportunity
to make these selections for park
sitos in tho various parts of the
city of St. Johns, as wo will
then be told that we have Col
umbia park, nnd that is sufli
ciont for our district.
Yours for parks,
