It ■m to me. in Ihe main, and perhaps •>tth a few trifling Inaccuracies, pretty correct.

And 1 urn glad to learn from Mr. Gamble'* re eearche. thal the Council put their ippll catlon for the land upon that express ground. That fact strengthens tmmen-e- I) my contention and the claims of the military to the parade ground "Toe exchange of the site of the old cantonment came about in this way—that site was too far out for the companies, which at that lime, all formed on Ihe Bay. I! seemed a very desirable thing lo substitute for It Ihe present piece of gri.urd south of Ihe park even though It might be of lees area; desirable for the military, because I* was more In town, and was quite large enough for nil their pur poses. desirable for the city becuuee. In stead of nlnetern acres or therealioua (which I think Is the stie of the present ground) tee city would have ih much greater a reage lo lay off Into lots and sell as the city might grow My recollection Is that the plan originated with Oen. (then Col.) A It l.awton. then commindtng the vol unteers At any rate, I tlrs: hearJ of It from him. and a* a member of the Guards heartily concurred In it. The ad vantage both to the city and the mllltray wro perfectly obvious Hut It was un derstood by everybody that the nineteen I. res south of the |irk. If the p an should be carried out, were to be devotel to the use of the military as absolutely and ex clusively as the site of the old canton ment would have been If the exchange rhould not he made We all know thtt the plan was ■a ri led out. And If my , attention Is correct, that the City Coun cil became a trustee for the military, the itu t attached to those nineteen acres as fully as It had formerly done to the idle of the old cantonment. And that the City Council has the name view Is moved by It* ordinance of MSI. mentioned by Mr Gamble, dedicating the nineteen acres for that purpose. "That was a dedication lo public uses, which could not he revoke.), especially n:; It was mad- In the execution of a 11 ust Therefore, the ordinance of lE7 repealing p, was beyond the power of Conn li and was pain vlolatbo of 'he trustees' duty.
