Iand'a natural park altea at tha preaent
Ime. and especially tha appropriation
'or the employment of a capable auper
ntendent to handle tha parka already

Mr. G ruber aald that If the council

would "hear from the people." Thla re
nark arouaed tha Ira of Councilman
iennett, who Jumped to haa feet and
charged tha delegation with being pres
ent almply because they had been asked

t about went up. after which the speak
ers turned Into the mora aerloua aide of
-he argument
Claim Ignoranoe of Wants.
Tha councllmcn explained that they
lid not know the park board wanted to
iroploy a new superintendent at i,uu
i year ar.d therefore they could not be
laid responsible If tfie board had not
-ecetved the monoy. The councllmcn
iald they hud given the board all the

erlntendent He aald that he asked
Jayor Lane concerning thla amount but
hat tha mayor refused to explain It to
lilm.
I Mont el th took occasion to score both
ilayor Lane and the park board mem-
tera, whom he accused of treating him
mfalny. ' He aald that many recom
nendationa urged by him had been
orned down. Including one asking that
he roof of the foreatry building be re
alred. Montoith sold he considered
timself equal in every way to the man
thoni the board had employed and that
ie had been engaged in the year and a
ialf he had been in the employ of the
Ity . In doing work that should have
een done by hie predecessor. He
la lined that no had not been given a

s Ordinance Finally Passed.
Hrrmati Wittenberg followed Mon.
elth and explained at the start that he
md the other members of the delegation
lid .not wish to get into a quarrel be
weon Montelth and the park board but
lad attended the council meeting to
trgq tha members to do everything In
heir power to beautify the city and de
velop its parking system.
I. Lnng stated that he and the other
nembera of the board had no personal
tnmlty toward Monteith but that their
