PRICE HACKLEMAN
PROPERTY OFFERED
Site for East End Park Avail
able; Price la
$9,800
On the ava of tha city park election
a new 'proposition la sprung; on the
people whereby an opportunity it giv
en tha city to purchase Hackleman's
Park. A a offer waa made today by
Denver Hackleman and slater, Mrs.
W. K. Price, to sell all of that part of
llackleman'a Grove beginning from
tha corner of Ninth and Main streets
extending on a line south to the S. P.
railway track, thence east to Sherman
atreet (where extenaton would pass),
thence north to the aouth line of Ninth
atvrel and weat to place of beginning
on Main. Thia tract contains about
ix acres and a price of $9,800 has
been made by tha owners.
Thia takes practically all or llack
leman'a Grove lying north of the rail
road track, except tha sltea of Mr.
Hackleman's and Mra. Price's noma,
containing about one and one-half
acres, it' la said.
The city has tried on several occa
sions to get a price on this property,
which would make a fine park aita for
the East End of the city. It it pos
sible that the matter will ba taken up
at tha next meeting of the city covin
ci), but it Is argued that thia should
hiive nothing to do with the voting
tirynnt's Park.
Iiryunt Park i. to ba given to the
city, and the city should have this
property under any circumstances. It
should also have a park-in tha East
Fn I of the city, and no doubt bill. In
referring fo the aubject J. F. Emmet,
a prominent East End resident, says:
"Let us Jiot confuse the issue of
the Price proposition with that offered
!; Mr. Bryant The Price property
Wiuld make a beautiful park but it is
entirely inadequate for tha use which
it ia proposed to make of the Bryant
properly. Bryant's property ia want
ed primarily for a summer ramp
ground for our own people as woU as
tne auto touriatg now passing through
in rn-at numbers. It will be remem
bered that Bryant's property contains
nearly 40 acres, or more than aix
times as much as the Price property.
4lct's take Bryant's offer while we
hnve an opportunity of getting It and
tbin go after the city council for

City Council Gives
Views on
Park Proposition
To the citizens of the city of Albany.
In view of circumstances and condi-
tiona and the recent publicity in the
local papers, the members of the city
council feel it their duty to explain to
the public their attitude in the matter
of Dryant's Park.
Mr. Ilryant has offered the park to
the city upon the conditions stilted in
the pnmphlct which has been mailed
to the voters and which hns been print-
ed in both of the locnl papers on sev-
era! occasions.
Wo think their could be no object-
iona to the provision which requires
that the premises shall be only used
as a public park forever and be known
as Bryants Park forevor.
The city ia to take over and main-
tain the present bridge or any bridge
that it may xee fit to build in the fu-
hire. In this connection the Council It might be said in this connection that circuit court, wn toe rasea lues
haa had the bridge examined by c. m- the chautauqua people havo in - day Saturday hia brotherinlaw, H.
netent bridge builders who state that
with some slight repairs the bri Ige
will last for some time to come. The
city Is to construct roadway along
the west line of the property which
will conect with another road already
built along the other aide and thus
mnke a roadway around entire park,
This the city will probably do In any
event even If Mr. Bryant did not stipu
late thnt It should he done.
