Chairman Stockwell of the finance
committee In the early hours withdrew
the recommendation of the committee
favoring the shifting Of park funds.
Councilman Snyder had signified his
intention to oppose the proposition, as
the move was aimed in large degree at
Echo park. In the afternoon session
Stockwell again showed in the recon-
mendation and Snyder opposed the mat
ter in a forcible speech in which he did
not hesitate to call q spade q spade.
Snyder said that the proposed transfers
would be wrong and unbusinessiike and
would be another added to the numerous
smistakes made by the present munich
pal administration. Snyder, although
q member of the finance committee, had
never heard of the Stockwell-Kingery-
Munson program in the matter until he
heard 1t read in the open council.
Councilman Munson, In reply, stated
that through a bookkeeping error in the
auditors office. the intended trans
fers were for the purpose of settling
labor bills.
Chairman Stockwell Of the finance
committee. with some heat, resented
the remarks of Snyder as a whole and
in spots.
Snyder said that Westlake and East
lake always secured more than any
other of the parks Of the city, and he
objected. II love the laborer just as
you do, and my heart goes out to him
just as yours does" remarked the man
from the second ward to Stockwell with
with fine scorn. There was more talk in
similar strain by Munson. Snyder
and Stockwell. and then Councilman
Pessell sought to amend the report SO
that $3.50 be taken from both Echo and
Elysian park funds. instead Of twice as
much The amendment was lost and the
oAAntad Councilman SnVd0r
