In Difficulties
Over Park Site
No Definite Action Taken
By Park Board; Park
Sites Are Scarce
No definite action on the sale of
Riverside park to the Oregon Trunk
Una, for uae as a passenger depot
site, waa taken by the park com
missioners at their meeting last
night. A committee of three waa
appointed to consider possible al
ternative park altea, and will report
Its flndlnga next Tuesday evening.
O. B. Richmond, land agent of the
Oregon Trunk, presented the rail
road's case. He told the park board
that the railroad had acquired prop
erty adjoining the city park for Its
right-of-way and waa prepared to
pay a reasonable and equitable price
for the purchase of the park prop
erty. Rufus Moore, dean of the park
commissioners, observed at this Junc
ture that park aitea within the city
limits were not plentiful?
No Other Park Site
"Would .the park board rather
have cash for the park or another
park site donated by the railroad?"
asTted Richmond,
"That would depend upon where
the proposed park is located and
what quality of soil there was in
the tract," declared Baldwin.
Roy Durbin then suggested Modoc
park as the alternate site for a city
park, but O. D. Matthews pointed
out that the soil in Modoc park was
poor, and that there was no body
of water nearby. Matthews de
clared that In his. .opinion a park
without a lake or river was of little
value. - . i a. f -
Richmond' suggested that aa ar
tificial lake might be made, as has
been done In Portland, but the aug-
sbbuuu met -no entnuslastic re
8p6nse.
The park commissioners then In
quired if It might not be possible
to retain it frontage on Lake
Ewauna for park purposes; turning
over enough land to the railroad for
a right-of-way.
Need All of Park
Richmond declared his instruc
tions were to acquire all of River
side park. He alss pointed out that
a city park, flanked by a railroad
track, would not be a desirable rec
reation Center.
