Show improvements it would A be a splendid thing filing tor for the city to finish the improving of the square north of the coure court house IGi I 1 this spring As we recall the agreement the city is to fence its part to connect with the court house grounds leaving the way open along the cement sidewalk between the two in n lieu of the ground contributed by the county tor for the walk w alk we dont know what plans the file city may have for the completing of this move but we are to otter offer a suggestion before actual operations begin we have often thought what a nice thing it would be to construct a retaining wall viall along the edge of the court house grounds of cement and so build it that it would be in the form of a bench where pede strains could sit down and rest in the old cou country 11 try they have haie cement and even marble benches in the public which serve two purposes and they are mighty comfortable to drop down on on a hot day andrest and rest for a few minutes such a cement bench could be constructed with a comfortable seat and back and in lint weather it would be cool and comfortable in the winter it would never be used for obvious reasons another thing the entire grounds would look one hundred per cent better it if the iron fence was removed and the grounds thrown open to the public they do this in other cities and it if loungers were not desired on the grass they could easily be kept off by removing the fence an unobstructed view liew of these beautiful rounds grounds could be had front from any angle A nice hedge fence on each side of the cement walk running cast and west would also be a beautiful adornment would also be a beautiful adornment and the vacant places on the city square would look beautiful sown to grass |
