Residents Near No. School AdvO-
cate Purchasing Property for 1t.
Among the residents of the vicinity of the
new public school, the corner stone of which
was laid yesterday, as told in another col
umn, it has been suggested that the city
purchase the remainder of the block on
which the school is situated and turn it into
a public park. The suggestion was freely
discussed yesterday by those who partici-
pated in the exercises, and generally COM
msnded. The school building occupies one
end of the block The balance is vacant,
and could readily be transformed into a
breathing spot for the residents of that
neighborhood.
The district is almost wholly given up to
apartment and tenement houses. Mayor
Wanser in his address yesterday said that
the locality was very prolific one for
children ana the school was badly needed.
is all the more reason why the city should
provide a breathing spot to keep the child
rem off the street and away from the danger
of the trolley.
The property is owned by the well-known
Colgate family, who are noted for their lib
eraiity and philanthropy. 1t is asserted by
those who know that if. the matter was
placed before them in the proper manner
that they would sell the property to the city
at a nominal price. 1t is likely that the
question will be agitated fully, and a strong
effort made to induce the ciGy officials to
carry out the scheme.
