Substantial Concrete Structure Is Completed By The Commissioner.
Marietta's beautiful City Park now has a band stand which is a credit to the city, and which will add materially to the beauty of the popular recreation ground. The new structure was completed Thursday.
It is made of re-inforced concrete throughout. The floor is elevated to a height of twenty feet, and under the floor are rooms which will be used for the purpose of storing chairs, tools, etc. Around the band stand, which is octagonal in form, a terrace will be constructed, and leading down to the terrace from the stand, is a short flight of concrete steps. A temporary railing has been placed around the top of the stand, but Superintendent of Parks, F. L. Reed, under whose supervision the work has been carried on, stated last evening that a railing would be built later that will add much to the beauty of the stand.
The second concert of the season will be given next Tuesday evening, and the music will be furnished by the Marietta Band, under the direction of C. D. Bethel. This organization gave an excellent concert in the city park a few weeks ago, and nearly a thousand people enjoyed the music.
