COMPLAIN OF FENCE
THRU TRINITY PARK
In Center of ‘Rosedale Boulevard,’
Says Property Owner.
A fence—and it has been
built right down the center of
the site of Fort Worth’s greatest
boulevard?
E. L. Maxwell brought this
startling fact to the attention of
City Council, Wednesday.
Maxwell complained that a
fence built by the Park Depart-
ment at Trinity Park had bottled,
up citizens living on Hall Street.
VAnd, besides,” went on Max-
well, "the fence is right in the
center of the Rosedale crosstown
boulevard!" *
."Why, there’s no Rosedale
Boulevard—if the boulevard has
been surveyed through Trinity
Park, we don’t know it,” pro-
tested Harry Adams. Park Beard
member
"It hasn't been built and won't
be,” commented City Councilman
William Monnig,
Adams said the fence had
been built’ because motorists had
been cutting through the park,
damaging It.
Councilmen told Maxwell he
would have to fight it out with
the Park Department. *
