MOUND CITY PARK
As chairman of Mound City Park, I wish
to report that we
have made certain progress at the Park,
this progress being as
follows:
This spring we allowed the United States
Reformatory to
sow oats on the Park Site with the
understanding that they
were to furnish the oats and have the
crop. They were also to
sow timothy and blue-grass seed with the
agreement that we
furnish these two seeds. This was done
and the crop of oats has
been removed. It looks as if we were to
have a fair crop of
timothy and blue-grass, but, as all
know, it will take some little
time yet before the blue-grass makes any
real showing.
We have also remodeled a part of the Y.
M. C. A. Building,
which is on the site, by putting in
partitions, giving the caretaker
five rooms for his own use and one large
room for the use of
any visitors during inclement weather.
We remodeled another
small frame building to be used for a
tool house. Both of these
buildings have been painted.
We are beginning to feel that things are
assuming such shape
that the public can be invited to see
and enjoy the Park as a
public spot. Before very long we hope to
ask the Professor of
Landscaping of the Ohio State University
to come down and
visit us and give us the proper idea as
to what should be done
in order to really beautify the place.
In closing, we extend to all an
invitation to visit us and see
what has been accomplished.
