To The Mayor and Council of the City of Caldwell.
Gentlemen:
In the building of cities as in the builling of great industries, it has
been found necessary to provide for the well being and contantmert of the people gathered
in numbers; and to the degree: that any of the essentials of a modern city are lacking
in the upbuilding of a city, to that extent has the city failed in its plane of per-
fection, and in its desirability of becoming a city of homes.
It is of course, impossible to do all things at once and you would all do
many things, as the governing force of this city, to tie material betterment of our city,
were it in your power to do so; therefore in this committee appearing before you this
evening you are to be spared the usual errands of a committee appearing before you,
in the fact that we are not here petitioning your body for any favor nor are we here
protesting, finding any fault or criticising any of your actions. Our mission as we
deem it, is one of co- operation and assistance.
The persons or firms whom this committee represents, realized during the
warm days of the past summer that this city was very much in need of a public park- -
for the use of all alike and especially, for all time, a park for a play ground for
the children; and as opportune times comes into the lives of us all, to do things,
so did the opportunity come to the attention of several of the citizens of Caldwell to
secure a park for the purpose as previously outlined.
It was a well known fact that you, Mr. Mayor and Council of Caldwell, had
no funds at your disposal for this purpose but as in any wo rthy enterprise an obstacle
of this Mind never stops Caldwell citizens from accomplishing things for the good of
a community - -so it is in the matter of a public park - -the result was this3. We appear
before you this evening with a warranty deed made to the City of Caldwell. which deed
describes property as follows:
A tract of land lyint; in lot 2, Sec. 10, Ty. 4 N. R. � w. A. M., the
