.recently organized Hecreation league,
provided a way Is found to raise suf
ficient money to pay the taxes and
maintain It. The property Is. situated
oh the Kast Moreland carline. within
th 6-cent fare limit.

cities which have provided public golf
courses, the league net out several
months ago to find a suitable .plot of
land and finally decided upon the Ladd
tract, and the estate agreed to allow

taxes were met and grounds main
tained. At the time It was believed that the
taxes would be remitted. Inasmuch as
the grounds were to be given for the
free use of the public. The tax offi
cials, however, decided that the taxes
would have to be' paid as long as the
title remained vested In the name
an individual, and as they amount to
approximately $2000 annually, the prop
osition has been halted temporarily.
Morris Dunne, chairman of the ath
