At a meeting of the Parks Commission held on Monday night, the officers of last year were re-elected, viz.: Chairman, S. Culdwell; See'y, A. H. Felt; 'Treasurer, J. A. MacLaren. Official notice was received from the 'Town Council asking 'he Board to assume control of the Agricultural Park. In con- nection with this, the question of fencing was raised and the mem- hers expressed the opinion -that the Parks Commission should not be expected to fence the park as it derives no revenue therefrom, 'Those interested in having it fenced are the organizations which charge an admission fee when using it. The members seemed to feel that if the Com- mission takes over the park cir- cuses will have to seek a show ground elsewhere, As soon as the weather is favorable the Com- mission will look over the Agri- cultural Park as well as the other parks and the gores, Mr. Goodall reported for tho committee which had in arge the improvement of the ravine in Queen's Park.
