Park for of Pablle TlaTe
Brta Favorite form ( rhll
atkrophf hr Omaha
rioaeers.
Omaha haa been the recipient of a widely
varied aerie of gifts aggregating In value
many thousand! of dollars. The benefi
cences of the glrers have Included lands
for park sites, objects of art, scholarships
and co-llenlons of curios. The latent pub
llo g!ft Is that of Mrs. Bellna C. Cornish,
who haa added $10,000 to her previous dona
tion of IM.OO for the acquisition of the
lands comprised In Carter park, a memorial
to her former husband, the late Levi Car
ter. : i ;
The ark donations to the city comprise
a total acreage of approximately 444 acres,
or very nearly one-half of the total park
acreage of . the city. The gift of Mrs.
Cornish of" I&0.000 for the purchase of
the Carter lake frontage rave the city park
system 803.51 acres, the largest gift of the
kind ever given to Omaha. The later gift
of 110.000 Is Intended for improvements.
Andrew 3. Hanscom gave the city a
tract of 67. W acres, now known as Han
scom park. In 172. which has been the most
completely developed of Omaha's parks,
and from the wild tangle of woodland and
underbrush It has been transformed Into
the artistic center of one of the city's
greatest' residence districts.
Elmwood Park, Gift ana Parrhaa.
Elmwood park, which In area ranks sec
end to Carter park, Is the composite of a
; gift and a purchase by the city. Lyman
Itlchardon. John T. Bell. Henry B. Wiley,
j Leopold Poll and 'William V. Snyder gave
. the city fifty-two acres In 1S!X. The city
purchased lift acres more adjacent to the
' donated tracts, thus gaining possession of
the land now known as Klmwood park.
As a gift from the TransmlKslsslppl Ex
position company and Herman Kountie,
the city gained title to Kountxe park,
eleven acres In extent The acquisition of
this park Involves an Ingenious succession
of transactions.
Legal obstacles stood In the way of a
municipal appropriation by the city In sup
port of the Transmlsslsslppl exposition. To
circumvent this an appropriation was made
for the Improvement of park lands, with
the Intent then of locating the exposition
on one of the park areas. When, however,
the exposition site waa finally chosen, it
waa not according to the original plan.
That the city's appropriation might be
made ' available, the exposition company
purchased 5.5 acres of the exposition site
and donated It' to the city for park pur-'
poses. Herman Kountse then made a fur
ther donation to the exposition's park of
an equal area. The park board's appro
priation of )30,000 was then expended, and
at the close of the exposition the city
came Into possession of the land and the
permanent Improvements.
Curt la Turner Memorial,
The Curtis Turner memorial park, the
gift of Charles Turner In memory of his
son. Is a pretty tract of T.S acres at Thir
ty-first and Farnam streets. Bemls Park
waa glvon to the city by the Bemls Land
company In 18?9. The gift was of six acres
to which tbe city added three by purchase.
Many other smaller gifts of parkings and
mall areas have been received by the city.
Mrs. Selina C. Cornish also gave the city
six bronse fountains which are located In
various parta of the park system. The
Association of Omaha German societies
gave b bronse statue of Schiller which
adorns Rlvervlew park.
The one scholarship given to the city la
the bequest of Edward Rosewater. This
scholarship Is supported by the earnings of
securities amounting to $10,000 held in trust
by the school board. At Intervals of four
years the son of an Omaha worklngman,
upon graduation from the high school and
the attainment of a standard set by the
board, is given a complete training at one
at the best technical schools of the country.
Many Aid to Pnblle Library.
The publlo library has received a large
number of valuable donations, most prom
inent among which Is the Byron Reed col
lection, va.ued at (60,000. Byron Reed In
1891 gave the publlo library the fruits of a
lifelong pursuit of rare coins, books and
objects of historical Interest. The Trans
mlsslsslppl Exposition company, at the
close Of the exposition, gave to the public
library ft collector! of six paintings valued
at $3,900, which had been acquired In con
nection with the display of art The library
was also given many valuable appurte
nances of the government's exhibit The
library holds $10,000 In securities given by
Frank Murphy. O. W. Llnlnger at his death
bequeathed to the library a collection
which depicts the history of art from the
oldest hlBtorlo relics down to the fifteenth
century. A gift of value, obscure by Its
technicality, Is the library's collection of
sedge and grasses, given by William Cle
burn. ' A Night Alarm.
