The village of Tipton may bave
tbe first public park ia Blair
county, nnder tbe act of March
24, 1927. A petition of Antis
township oitizens, members ofthe
school board, pastors of churches
and official church bodies, elobs
and leagues, has beeu presented to
County Commissioners John O.
Gorsucb, Joho F. Boyer and Dae
S. Brnmbaugb, praying 'for tbe
setting aside of the unused portion
of Clearfield street at Tipton for
that purpose.
It wiU be recalled tbat when
Tipton was plotted, tbe land owners dedicated tor a public thoroughfare, Clearfield street, 260
feet wide. Clearfield street formed
part otthe Tuckahoe turnpike,
laat year taken over as a county
road .The commissioners in taking over tbe road, ooly appropriated fifty feet ot Clearfield street,
biseotiog the wide thoroughfare,
leaving a width of 100 feet on
either aids, the foil length of the
street.
Tbe remaining portion is what
is desired for a publie park. Tbe
petitions aet forth tbat if the
connty dedicates the land for ass
ss a pnblio park, all expeasss incident to tbe maintenance snd
npkeep of tbe park shall be met
by popular subscriptions. Tbey
ask tbat tbe commissioners appoint a park Board of five responsible, taxpayers to  supervise   the
Tbe petitions, after  aeoeptauoe
by    the   commissioners,    were
referred   to   Solieitor  John  J.
Haberstroh. Mr.   Haberstroh   replied by inquiring how tbe connty
got tbe land torn if it is  actually
connty property. Be then suggests
that the county engineer  prepare
a draft of the land and suggested
if the offioials look with lavor on
the project, that tbey execute   a
deed fo tbe township and   permit
tbe supervisors to set it aside ss a
park and maintain it.
In sddition to tbe petitions
which are numerously signed by
oitizens, tbe ministers of the village, Be vs. Joseph F. Anderson,
D.D., H.G. Dooley and W. B.
Memmert; Messrs. H. T. Moffet,
J. E. Wilson, George D. Sprankle
and H. H. Cameron, ohurob officials, tbe Better Roads League ot
which C. L. Brnmbaugb is presi
dent, the Tipton Boya' Bain bow
club aod others, signed.
The pobllo awaits with interest
the ont oome of the move and if
BOSS through, doubtless tbere will
be other'localities making similar
requests.
