It was the attractions of the semi-rustic, wholly cultured Wor- cester, with its dawning horticultural tendencies, that first arrest- ed the attention of the observant lad from Hubbardston to Worcester as a whole; as he saw it,-for there was then but one way given unto men whereby the shire-town could be ap- proached. And those of us who remember that rare picture of half-urban, half-rural loveliness can respond from the heart to that juvenile, abiding fascination. From the North descends ever attritus,-fertility,-the "unearned increment" of the theorist in city attics. Southward and downward washes ever away and wastes detritus,-sewage,-the interest upon human exhaustion by gregariousness and combined toil. Whensoever, in the unending succession of years, our children have to wel- come the flower of Northern Worcester,-its young men (and maidens ?) will they not charm those juvenile fancies, when they have left " Happy Valley " behind, by the sight of Melrose Park,

after its felicitous assumption ? Next bring them around the Dodge Ranche to Park Avenue,-to let their eyes repose for a time on ELM PARK, with its wealth of floriage or facilities for skating ; Newton Hill, the while offering its natural chute for the fleet toboggan ; and to allow them a momentary glimpse, if nothing more for the time, of Lake Coes, with its dream of blue waters and its blended promise and prospect of oars and skating. If Clark University is to be the matured fruit from a first, youthful enthusiasm and a resultant, fixed purpose ; why should we not profit by the lesson, even before the corner-stone of that University is so much as riven from its bed ? Why not make this our fair City a fascination to the young men of our own day -fixing the impression more or less indelibly, and leaving it to work out its own results ? " All this and more shalt be thine ! " insinuated the Tempter, "if Thou wilt but fall down and wor- ship me. " What is around and within thee, Oh City of Worces- ter, is thine ! already,-believe and write the PARKS-COMMISSION : thine to be put out at interest and to be multiplied, manifold against the coming and glory of the Lord !


All which is respectfully submitted, by


EDWARD WINSLOW LINCOLN,

APPENDIX.


[CHAP. 139.]


AN ACT to authorize the City of Worcester to take the old Common for the purposes of a Public Park or a City Hall.


Be it enacted, etc., as follows :


SECT. 1. The city of Worcester is hereby authorized, by its city council, to acquire by purchase or to take for the purposes of a public park, or for the purposes of a city hall, all the title and interest of the first parish in Worces- ter in the old common in said city.


SECT. 2. Said city shall within thirty days after its city council shall vote to take said title and interest, cause a certified copy of the vote to be served upon said parish in the manner provided in chapter one hundred and sixty- one, section thirty-five of the Public Statutes; and the return of the officer making the service, being recorded with a certified copy of said vote in the registry of deeds for the county of Worcester, shall be evidence of such service.


SECT. 3. Said city shall be liable to pay all damages, if any, which shall be sustained by said parish by the taking of its title and interest in said com- mon, including the building situated on said common belonging to said parish, by authority of this act; and if said parish shall not agree with said city upon the amount of said damages, said parish may apply by petition for the assess- ment of said damages, within one year after it shall have notice of the pass- age by said city council of the vote to take said title and interest, to the superior court in the county of Worcester; and said court shall thereupon, after due notice to said city, appoint three commissioners, who, after hearing the parties, shall assess said damages ; and the award of said commissioners or of the major part of them, being returned into and accepted by said court, shall be final and judgment shall be rendered thereon for the prevailing party with costs, unless one of said parties shall claim a trial by jury as hereinafter provided.


SECT. 4. If either of said parties shall be dissatisfied with the amount of damages awarded by said commissioners, such party may, at the term at which said award is accepted or the next term thereafter, claim a trial by jury; and said court shall thereupon order a trial to be had at the bar of said court in the same manner in which other civil causes are there tried by jury.


SECT. 5. The said city may at any time after the entry of said application offer in court, and consent in writing, that a sum therein specified may be awarded as damages to said parish; and if said parish shall not accept the same within thirty days after it has received notice of said offer, or within such further time as the court shall for good cause grant, and shall not finally recover a greater sum than the sum offered, not including interest on the


300

sum recovered in damages from the date of the offer, the said city shall be entitled to recover its costs after said date; and said parish if it recovers damages shall be allowed its costs only to the date of the offer.


SECT. 6. Said parish may occupy and use the meeting-house standing on said common free of rent for one year after it shall have notice of the pass- age of such a vote by said city council, and may within said time, with the leave of the mayor and aldermen, remove said meeting-house from said com- mon; and said parish shall within said time cause the pews in said meeting- house to be appraised in the manner provided in chapter thirty-eight, sections twenty-two, thirty-six and thirty-seven of the Public Statutes, and the appraised value of said pews shall be paid to the owners thereof by said parish from the money received from said city as the price of the title and interest of said parish in said common or as damages for the taking thereof as herein provided. Any balance of money so received from said city after paying the owners of pews the appraised value thereof shall be expended for parish pur- poses and for no other purposes whatever. [Approved April 3, 1885.
