Parks Commission Discusses Plans fol
Work. Mr. Harris Duties.
The parks commission met in the al
dermanic chamber at city hall Monday
forenoon. The time was devoted to the
consideration Of the relocation Of the
mall on the east side of the city hall
to be utilized as an approach. the
east entrance of the new municipal
building 1t is the general idea to have
walks entirely around the new building
and the plan of the commission is to
make a 20-foot walk on the mall.
1t is to be constructed with an idea
Of durability, as the supplies of the new
building will probably be carted over
this walk. 1t is not to be understood
that this is to be 3 common driveway
as nothing save supply teams will be
allowed to pass over this walk. The re-
location of the mail will necessitate the
removal of several trees.
Plans for the work as submitted by
City Engineer Mcclure, were discussed
but definite action was deferred until
the next meeting, Monday, March 81.
Regarding the allotment OF duties I'd

he take the position vacated by Com

USE FOR THE OLD CITY HALL
Certain Lawyers Wish to Keep It STAND

Certain Lawyers Wish to Keep It Stane-
ing While the Court House is Building.
There has been considerable talk of
late. especially among lawyers, that it
would be good thing to keep the old
city hall standing until the court house
is completed in order to furnish place
for holding the courts A prominent law
yer remarked to Spy man last evening
that people did not take into considera-
ton the emergency that would arise
when work ON the court house began.
No formal overtures have been made to
the city authorities on the subject, but
there is a general feeling that the
county commissioners would be glad to
negotiate for the use of the old building
if the city should show any desire to en-
tertain a proposition.
The lawyers too would like it because
it would give them opportunity to try
cases without travelling a half mile to
the court house. The danger would be
that IL the old building we're once de-
voted to the uses of the courts, it might
be hard to get them out, as the lawyers
would find its location so convenient to
their purpose.
OF course there is no obligation upon
the part of the city to furnish rooms for
the county. There are plenty of halls
that may be hired if it is necessary to
provide room outside during the erection

modelling Of the old one, The use of the

FITZPATRICK FOR TRAINER.
High School Boys Are Trying to Secure
the Ex-Champion to Look After Their
lnterschoIastc Team.

The officers of the High School
Athletic Association realize that if
their interscholastic team is to make a
good showing at the outdoor meet to be
held at the oval in this city, next May,
the team must have competent train
er. This important requisite was lack
ing to the team in its preparation for the
recent indoor meeting, and there are
many who believe that If the boys at
the school had enjoyed the advantages
of a good man to look after the team,
the result in the competition might have
been different.
But to find a good man is no easy
matter SO when it became known that
Charles H. Fitzpatrick, the former Amer
lean champion, was in the city, the high
school boys Immediately approached
him with a view to securing his serv-
ices. fitzpatrick, who is now a profess
sional gave the boys his figures, and it
is more than probable that he VIII be

Five hundred pair of quail will be
liberated in various sections of the
county within the next week or ten
days.
This will be the first act of the re-

association is surely carrying out the
provisions and objects of its constitu-

among all lovers of field. and cover
shooting, the better observance of game
laws; to encourage and assist in the
propagation of game, and to take such
other steps for the welfare Of the sport
as may, from time to time, be deemed
advisable"
1t was voted to purchase the quail at
special meeting of the association,
held Monday evening, in one of the
parlors Of the Bay State House. The
members realized that if the birds are
to be liberated in the spring, the only
time of the year when this can be done
to advantage. it was necessary to act
without delay. A portion of the birds
will be purchased in New York., and the
rest will come from the far west. George
