Show iFor yeais we have been advocating ad-vocating a park for this city but we have not got ne yet, For all that it is as necessary now as when we first sprung the proposition. proposi-tion. Other progressive cities have parks ana so should we but as the present council cannot afford af-ford to pay for sprinkling the streets it is not likely they will buy a city park but it js best to keep this matter before the public, pub-lic, The Field and Farm says : "Parksare breathing pieces for the people. They should be established es-tablished by every city, by every state and by the national government. govern-ment. Land suitable for parks, when it must be bought, is cheaper cheap-er now than it will be hence, and there is yet government land which could be set apart for recreation, re-creation, or" which include natural curiosities and beautiful scenery well worth preserving," The main thing which prevents the further development of Lehi is the scarcity of water late in the season. Though our land is as good as any in the count' yet the crops fall short every year because be-cause of the lack of water. The settlement of this problem has been worrying the Irrigation company com-pany for man' years but has not been solved yet. The reservoir system has not produced good results so far though we believe it can be made a success. Northern North-ern Colorado suffered for water as we do until a splendid system of reservoirs was put in and now a water famine is very rare there. The sinking of artesian wells is the latest plan adopted and a number of good ones have been secured. They may get enough water to supply the lower part of the field and the water now used there can go somewhere else. We hope it may partly solve the problem. |
