FOR And AGAINST PARKS.
PETITIONS PRESENTED TO THE
PARK BOARD BY BOTH SIDES.
Directors outnumbered Seven to One
Hoard Listens to Arguments
for Four Hours-PetitionS
Received and Filed.

Yesterday was the park boards busy
day. From o'clock until nearly O'Clock
p. m the board. with President a. r
Meyer presiding, listened 10 arguments in
favor OF and against the establishment OF
the proposed North and West Terarce
parks and in hearing the reading Of num-
erously signed petitions on both sides of
the case a very large majority of the ar
guments and the petitions were presented
by those who favor the establishment OF
the parks as already duly provided for.
The leading SPIRITS among those who
presented the arguments of the Object0rs
TO the board were Harry Brown, W. s.
Woods, LangSton Bacon and J. {. Ford.
Mr.. Brown was the first Spokesman for
this party. He made the statement that
most OF the signsrs Of the petitions pre-
sented by the objsCtoTs had voted in IA
vor Of parks, but thought the plans of the
board went too far and were particularly
opposed TO the proposed North and West
Terrace parks, because they thought the
locations not suitable for park purposes
ana the price the city would, have to pay
TOO great. Mr.. Brown said il was a
shame 10 denounCe in the papers such men
as Judge Black, W. S. WOODS and other
public spirited citizens as obstructionists
and conspiratOrs simply because they did
not agree with some other people as TO
the adyisability of establishing parks in
certain places.
Mr.. Bacon also spoke for the object
ors, his principal argument being that the
price for the park property was altogether
too great. He was somewhat disconnected
when. after he had declared that no man
would be willing to pay $500 for what he
called Vineyards gulch, which is valued
for park purposes at $3.50. Mr.. Lafayette
| Traber said he would be glad TO pay that
price for the property. He presented, on
behalf of the objectors. a statement show
ing the park area of Kansas City, includ-
ing Swope park. showing that the city has
an acre of park for every 100 people.
]. V. c. Karnes presented the petition in
favor of the parks bearing the signatures
of 43i5 citizens and taxpayers. Mr.. harnes.
who acted as principal spokesman for the
petitioners, was accompanied by the fol-
