He Grated Before the Park Board
Music for Harriet.

Music for Harriet.
Mayor William Henry Eustis had an
other severe eloquent spell yesterday
afternoon at the park board meeting.
AS soon as Secretary GOwl finished Ithe
roll call he threw himself forward to
prevent the park board from being i'm
posed upon. He protested against the
board recognizing Aid. Rand as an eX-
OfficiO member of the park board.
Rand is member of the board by
virtue of being chairman of the
Kiichi council committee. The
mayor was real earnest in his
opposition to Rand. No DemOsthenes
hurting his thunders against Philip
of MacedOn was ever more earnest than
he, as his voice rose and fell in pleading
quaverS, and he poured the hogsheadS
Of his wrath upon the ''CataInlan tao
tics" of the city council. 1t was gener-
ally understood In the park board that
the mayors protest was made for effect.
He has a hard fight on before the su-
preme court. and wants to prejudice the
court in his favor fpOsSible.
Rand was recognized as a member of
the board at its previous meeting, and
his right to sit as a member of the board
was confirmed by the board. Rand is
park commissioner, as chairman of the
council committee on public grounds
aud buildings. Aid Love, also park
commissioner, came into the board as
chairman of that committee, and later
as chairman of the kiichli committee on
roads and bridges. Loye was afraid
that lie would be barred out OF the park
board II the courts were to de
eide the Kiichli committees lille
gal. And on that account he
moved a reconsideration of the approval
of the minutes, Rand seconded the mo-
ton and the question was recOnSidered
and postponed until the next meet
ing. If the courts knock out KiichlI,
the park board can so amend it's min
uteS that Rand will be unseated.
The park board has not seen Mt to ac-
cept the railways proposition with ref
erence to music at Harriet for the sum-
mer. The street railway company Of
fered to give $500 for music if the park
board would give a like amount, the
company guaranteeing that receipts
from boat rentals would amount to
81. 800 more than they did a year ago,
when they were lIttle>nver So, 900. The
company also demanded as a con-
cessIon that 1t be allowed to
charge 10 cents for seats
OH the upper floor OF the pavilion. The
board insists that seats must be free In
that pavilion. 1t will, however, go into
a music deal with the street railway
company on these conditions: The
board to contribute all of the receipts
from boat rentals above s., 900, provided
the excess over 5000 be not greater
than $3.50, the street railway company
to contribute $500 and as much more
as may be needed to make up the $1,000,
the number of pieces in the band, the
number of times it shall play and its
location t. be determined by the board.
George q. Chapman sent in bill of
$50 and w. p. Andrews and J. Parker
Veazey bills for 1920 each for forty-fou
days service as appraisal commissioners
on Minnehaha boulevard. The board
cut the last two bills TO $50 each.
The appropriation for baths at Lake
Calhoun was dOubled-made 800. An
attendant will be hired, who Will be al
lowed to charge 10 cents for checking
clothes.
