Dear Sir,
I wish to call to your notice, the piece of ground or "Park" so called situated between Central, Garden, Yew and Fountain Aves, on the left of the main Gate.
Last year a large quantity of manure was carted on to it, alas considerable loam, with a view to plowing in this spring,
The material is scattered over the ground in heaps, and I respectfully recommend that as soon as the weather is favorable. the heaps should be spread and the whole plowed over.
Yours Truly C.W. Folsom Supt.
