The following petition was preseni-
fedby A. Y. Duyj
Vo THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE
TOWN COUNCIL.
r.rvTi FMEN : The undersigned
L.;,in and taxnavers of the Town
tf Bloomsburg would respectfully ask
Mr. Onrrpv n.iiil that lie fnr one
would not vote on the subject, until
he became more familiar with certain
points covering the oneinal donation
oi tne park by the late Mr. waiicr,
and some opinion rendered by the
Town Solicitor.
President Kocher, mindful of the
important subject with which they
were eoinz to deal had seen the
solicitor, and obtained from him an
opinion, which is as follows :
TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF
THE TOWN COUNCIL :
Gentlemen: The President of
your body has submitted to me the
question of your right to lease the field
owned by the Town of Bloomsburg,
and known as "Athletic Park."
The only objection which can possi
bly be urged against the legality of a
lease of this land, is that it is puunc
nronertv. cdnveved to the Town for
"public purposes," and can not be
given over, by your body, to the use
and control ot an individual, or an
association of individuals, to the ex
clusion of the general public.
It is no doubt true that in certain
instances our Courts will restrain the
municipal authorities from demising
to individuals property belonging to
th munirinalitv. and used by the
TUT. BILL OBSEQUIES.
The funeral of Mrs. S. W. I iRl
who died at Espy last week, while on
a visit to her sister Mrs. Elizabeth
Petit, and whose body was taken to
her home at South Bend, Ind., for
interment, took place on Thursday.
The Daily Times of that place says :
"The very high esteem in which
the late Mrs. S. W. Hill was held in
this community was not only fully at
tested bv the constant stream of
sorrowing friends who called between
10 and i a o'clock Thursday at the
residence to view the remains, as
they lay in a rich, flower-buried casket,
but also at the funeral, which was
held at 4 p. m., and was one of the
largest private funerals ever held in
South Bend. But a small portion of
those attending could get into the
spacious home, where the last sad
rites were held, Rev. Dr. S. B. Town
officiating. The Haydn Ladies'

its public use, and give n over 10 a
private association, might be ques
tioned. But such are not the facts in the
present case. "Athletic Park" is at
presdnt nothing more than an open
field or common. It is not used for
any public purpose whatever, and,
from the absence of any particular
use, is rapidly becoming dilapidated.
Therefore the objection cannot prop
k mnAt that bv a lease of these
you are diverting the public use of
public property to private uses and
purposes. The question, stripped of
its immaterial features, may be stated
thus :
The Town of Bloomsburg, in 1873,
bought for a valuable consideration a
front r lan d. " for oublic purposes.
It was the intention at the time of
the purchase, that the property De
some day made into a public park
but up to this time the municipal au
thorities have never deemed it wise
to carry out the original intention,
and the land has remained as an
ordinary field, with the exception of
the few years when renteu 10 a
ball association.
A loving wife, a fond mother, a
christian woman, an amiable and
greatly esteemed member of South
Bend's social circles was laid to a
last long rest when "earth to earth,
dust to dust and ashes to ashes" was
said at the "narrow home" that con
tains the mortal remains of the late
Mrs. S. W. Hill.
Among outsiders present at the
funeral were Geonre B. Hill and Mrs.
Martin Kimball, of Chicago, nephew

standing the fact that the pavements
are very wide, they do not seem to
be wide enough tor some pedestrians
who make a practice of walking along
the edges on the grass, and in cutting
corners, thus wearing aown uic ui
and killing the grass. Even persons
who have lawns of their own, do not
hesitate to help spoil other people s

do not seem to consider that by so
doing they compel property owners to

their grounds in good condition. The
pavements are to wain on ; me grass
plots are for ornament. Keep off the
