PARK SITES CONSIDERED
EAST SIIE TRACTS BKOCGHT TO
BOARD'S ATTENTION.
Citj May Acquire Four Blocks of
Hawthorne Property at Cost
of $100,000.
The first session of the Park Board
since its reorpanizatlon by Mayor Si
mon was held yesterday morning. Dr.
J. R. Wetherbee. Pr. E. G- Clark. Ion
Lewis and I. Lanir, the members, were
all present. Owinjr to the unusually
large number of citizens wishing to
lay matters before the Board the
meeting was held in the Council cham
ber Instead of In the Executive Board
committee room.
Mayor Simon first gave an oppor
tunity for citizens to be heard, and
several spoke in regard to the pro
posed purchase of what Is left of the
ld Hawthorne park, urging the Mayor
and members of the Board to buy
the four blocks still available. the
price of which would aggregate $100.-
OO. After hearing the statements of
those interested the Mayor announced
that the matter will receive considera
tion by the members of the Board,
who will make a. special trip next
Tuesday morning to various sections
of the city for U e express purpose of
viewing this and other aites that have
been proposed. ,
Residents of the Seventh ward were
present to urge the Board to purchase
one or two tracts in that district, and
this matter will also be investigated
by the members of the Board. The
proposal of President Josselyn. of the
Portland Railway. Light & power Com
pany, to sell the city the ground at
Twenty-third and Washington streets
for $100,000 was rejected, and the com
munication placed on file. The price
is considered to be too high.
Mayor Simon submitted to -the mem
bers of the Board the proposition made
by C. K. Henry for the purchase of SO
acres of ground in the Hasel Fern
farm tract, lying north of the Base
Line road In Sunnyslde at J3050 an
acre and they will consider this offer
when making their trip next Tuesday,
morning. It is quite probable that they
will decide to buy this property, as
it is regarded as necessary to the gen
eral plans for the park system on the
East Side, and is covered with large
fir trees.
Dr. Wetherbee brought up the mat
ter of apparatus for children In the
parks and expressed the belief that
the Board should set to work at once
and put in swings and other parapher
nalia. This proposal met with the
hearty support of the Mayor. and
Messrs. Clark, Lewis and Lang, and
Superintendent Mische was instructed
to submit an estimate of the cost for
Installing whatever is needed.
Superintendent Mische spoke about
an ordinance to keep the Idlers in the
Plaza block from sleeping on the grass.
The Mayor and members of the Board
decided that no extra legislation Is
necessary, and the .police will be 1
structed to permit no more of this in
any of .the parks.
