What was formerly a •weedy, unattractive vacant lot is now a small park to delight the eye of passersby or those who care to loiter among the natural beau ties. This transformation had its be ginning when the town authorities consented to set aside several odd shaped vacant lots in different sections of the town for the pur pose of small parks, provided the Women’s Civic club would sponsor the project of beautifying the lots for public parks.
