G PURCHASE E- OF PARK LAND Tha work of the charter revision com mittee , to date, and what It Intenda to do in the future, -as discussed by Richard Montague, a member of the committee, last night at the regular meeting of the United Kafft Bide Push clubs. Mr. Montague talked for an hour and the members of the club took up an other 45 minutes in discussing the vari ous phases of the charter and in ask ins- questions. The only action, taken by the club last night, however, was when a committee Of live, made up of H. H. Newhall, Dr. C. H. Kaffety, Prank J. Perkins, J. N. Davis and h. E. Rice, was appointed to take ud the Question of the Mount Tahnr city park with the board and do all in their power to have the city purchase the site suggested by Olmstead brothers and also an additional acreage near West avenue, this part to be used as j children s piaygrounos. The club waa unanimously In 'favor 'of this action. At a meeting of the fire committee of I the executive board Ust night II fire men appeared to anawer the charts ofl having 'hypothecated their salary war rants In violation of the department I rules. Each of the II admitted that he I had pledged Ma wagea and paid per I emit Interest on money borrowed from iatil.v Sr Kiimmnlln.

Flremon Kyaton testified that rats of I per cent waa charsed whether the loan was for, one day or IS days, ... Nearly every fireman had a bard lock story to explain his borrowing at the uaurlous rate. Some pleaded slcknees tn the family, one waniea v ouy reai estate, another had to pay for a house and furniture. All advanced soma sort of an excuse. Tha eommlttee took the casts under advisement after the mayor bad told the! firemen that the city was onty trying to protect them when the order was Issued! against warrant anaving.
