FIGHT FOR RECREATION GROUNDS IS GROWING people Demand Parks at Mt Tabor, in Mount Scott District, in Sell wood and at Several Placet in AI blna and Other Suburbs. ' a t ma pepaaiataat, ' Unless the proposition to purchM Haw thorn Park from the city la eoupled vita a scheme for a general park system, the greater part of the aat side will ra- . ruse to . sanction ' tho purchase. This ,. ,waa road avldent from a oanvaaa of tha situation on tha east aide made vaster day for tho purpoae of discovering sen tiraeot on tha subject. Tha central east aide, la which Hawthorn Park Ilea, wants tho city to purphaaa the paxk, ' but the euburbe maintain that, they - ahould bar recreation faclllues of their own. . . .:- lf. The East Side Improvement assoela tlon haa appointed a committee to brine ; the question of the purchaae of tho park before the council. ' s Other east aide civic "Improvement clubs will take the matter up for discussion. The eongr- . cation at tho lnterdenomtnatlonat senr lcea held last Sunday evening ananl- moualy adopted resolutions favoring the city acquiring the park. It Is pointed out that it la the laet tract of land in , that portion of the . city that haa not betn cut into lots and Is therefore the only available park site, j .'- . There is a disposition . on ' the " part of tho people of Montavllla and the . extreme eaatern portion of the olty to combine the purchase of of this, prop- " erty with that of thft ,top,-of ..ilfount Tabor and .submit both propoaitlonS ta the" people-for aatlflcatlon at the elec tion next June. In a recent interview, Mayor Lane advanced the idea that the .highest point at Mount Tabor ought to . bo secured for park purposes. It la not unlikely that any scheme to -acquire Additional park sites, that doea not provide for all parts of lhsclty alike,' will ' meet with spirited opposi tion. Councilman Vaughn of tha tenth ward, says that he favors more parks.

Dr. Hlckey thinks bs nas the champion peach plum tree growing: in the city. but that b Is opposed to buying- park sites one' at a tape.

No lumber of any kind waa to be had. Ths con tractors complain that the -mill men refuse to deliver small orders, preferring to furnish carroaMri(menta.

The indi cations are that the Improvement ordi nance for thla street passed by the St Johns council will, be completely Invali dated on account, of an irregular pro ceeding on the 'part of the council. The contractor had done about $1,809 worth of work Cn the street, which will prob ably have to be paid for by the council, and the abutting proner'ty-holder will be that much ahead. When the Injunc tion waa applied for stopping work on this street no indemnity bond waa filed, hence the Injunction was not taken seri ously by the St. Johns officiate. It la probable that the entire proceeding will have to be gone through with again, a new ordinance pasaed. a new advertise ment for bid and a -new survey by th city engineer... ;-;" ""':.
