MINNIE CAN SKATE.
Park Board Decides to Maintain a
Number of Kinks.


The suspense is over, and young Mime
apolis will skate.
The board of park commissioners took up
the problem pertaining to winter sports at
their meeting yesterday afternoon and solved
it. The board had at it's previous meeting
decided to maintain skating only at Loring
park, but motion to reconsider was given
notice of by Commissioner Baxter, and which
caused d delay. This motion was introduced
yesterday by Commissioner Baxter and car
ried. Consideration then revolved back to
the original motion that there be skating in
Loring park To this Commissioner Baxter
made an amendment which included Powder
horn park Todd's Pond, Van Cleve park, Co
lumbia park and Minnehaha creek. This
was carried, also the original motion. 1t was
further decided that skating be only main
tanned until Feb. 1. Superintendent Berry
made the announcement that Loring park
would be in condition for skating this evening
permit
The committee on forestry introduced a
resolution to the board. which was oc-
casioned by a petition received from Cyrus
W. Wells calling attention to the narrow
tree planting space in the residence portions
of the city. The resolution, which is as fol-
lows, will be presented to the city council:
Whereas, the board of park commissioners
has charge of the planting and care of shade
trees and has already planted 1000 trees, COW
ering distance of thirty miles.
Whereas, the experience of the board has
shown that the planting space of S1a feet
between the sidewalks and curb line on 60
foot streets is not sufficient for the proper
planting and protection of trees where plant
ed, and, whereas, citizens and tax payers
are frequently asking that the planting space
be made wider and the roadway narrower as
in other cities.
Therefore, resolved, That the city council
of the city of Minneapolis be requested to
carefully consider the matter of so establish
ing the curb lines on 60-foot streets where
practicable to give 61R foot planting space
between the sidewalk and curb lines, and on
streets over GO feet at least an Sfoot planting
space, and take action early to that end.

there is a statute that such cases be tried
