I'lic San,ls llpsp-vp an.l the ficcrelions, through tin- forethought- of a City Council of the 'niriPtips. in which Mr (!i'o. I.'ont iir:»| the- laic Mr C- •)• Hurley were the primp movers, are the iu<,, >.-i t> of the people of Nelson lor all time. .Ml remaining to he dona is In provide facilities for full us'c of the property. The whole public is solidly liehind the improvement work and it will not lip long before sonic considerahie sums are raised to carry out much of the necessary work. Somp members c.f the C'tv Coun.il have always been
