Editor The DemocratI have been
tequested by both ,ide, ot the ques
tion with reference to the city taking
over the Bryant Park to write some
thing of its merits or demerits. To
all overture on the subject I have
answered that an understanding of its
provisions was due every voter and
that the only way to get that know
ledge was for the city papers to pub
lish them in full. What purporter to
U the deed to th park that was to
be Riven the city provided Mr. Bry
ant' donation was accepted was read.
I saw but one clause in It that
thought would not meet the approval
of reasonable voters; namely, There
should be seven commissioner t.
would have control of the use of the I
park, of all money, to be spent or
appropriated by the city and In every
way have absolute management and
control of the premises. That the
seven commissioners should consist of
five to be appointed by Mr. Bryant's

it unuer advisement and report laic
be has not seen fit to change u
mind since. His right of demand
should not be questioned. The city's
right to refuse should not be ques
tioned.
I was told the deed' read "The city
should never license the sale or giving
away of intoxicating liquor on the
premises." That I heartily indorsed
and so informed Mr. Bryant. . Since
he had to pass that way often he had
a right to refuse to give room for a
beer garden. I now find there seems
to be a mistake in the provisions
of the deed from what I had been in
formed. Here is the city's printed
rendition.
"Sixth. The sale and giving away
of intoxicating liquors on said prem
ises shall be forever prohibited.
"Seventh. The breach of any of
the above named conditions shall ren
der said grant liable to forfeiture to
the grantor."
Now this may be alt right I f
wld by an attorney that if suit should
be brought to forfeit the place be
cause someone had sold or given li
quor on the premises the court would
certainly hold that was not cause foi
the city to lose the park. Perhaps so.
but I don't see why inch ambiguit
should have to be corrected by a la
suit If the deed reads as I first stat
ed, that the city should not license the
sale or giving, and if it did the city
should forfeit, there could be no mis
take in understanding.
To honor Mr. Bryant with the name
of the park is right To build and
maintain a bridge is right To make
a road across the park to Mr. Bry
ant's adjoining possession is right The
question is whether the park would
be worth the price the city would have
to pay for maintenance considering
the two objectionable clauses men
tioned. The first, perpetual control
by five commissioners who might In
time become adverse to the city's in
terest, which is not likely but pos
ible. T he present selected five are
not objectionable to anyone but their
held cannot be perpetual according to
natural laws. Their successors might
be very objectionable.
The most serious objection is the
wording of the deed if as printed by
the city. There must be a mistake in
printing. If there is no mistake a
lootlegger could cause the city to lose
ts rights provided the courts did not
decide other ise. One of the
hy the city should own the park is

Liquor is transported by auto travel
ers and the city could not prevent its
being smuggled into the fcirk without
keeping a policeman on the ground
night and day to search every car.

Hailed As a New Leader
All who have seen the ESSEX will understand how
difficult it is to appear temperate in our claim for
it
People are saying the most enthusiastic things
about it They like ita weight and the way in which
it combine th economy of the cheap car with the
quality, endurance, comfort and performance uf the
large costly automobile. Motorists in every section
are praising the ESSEX. Tens of thousands have
ridden in It A million have seen the K.SSKV All
hail it a new leader.
"It I. THE Liiihl tar"
That in a sentence expresses a view of practically
everyone.
It describes their feelings as to its type, its value
and its distinctive performance. Motorists have
long talked of the car that would be enduring nmt
comfortable to ride in an 1 of great performance,
ability and still that would le neither heuvy nor
costly to buy or oKrnte.
They describe the ESSEX as hehig "THE CAR" that
filled that field.
And they haw long wanted a light car that Ihey
would not have to apologise for because of Ita ap
penrunce. So their espre(sion, "That is THE I.lglit
t ar," descnlws their fe dings concerning th ESSEX.
When (an I Get aa ESSEX T
That is the question stl are asking. Thousands of
course have already been shipped. They are go
ing out from the factory in increasing numbers ev
ery duy. Hut orders are also piling up and from the
first we have had waiting lists.
It is not a question of selling the ESSEX during the
next several months. Th question will be "Who
will get them?" If you are to be an ESSEX owner
you must not delay ordering.
Everyone who knows the ESSEX I enthusiastic fur
it. All are talking alraut it. You ran understand
something uf ESSEX popularity If you will listen to
what motorists are saying. Ask any owner. If you
haven't ridden in an ESSEX there la a pleasant es
perience in store for you.
