and it is stated that one of the mem
bers Of Council who favored the road
and who is also said to hold stock in
it, carried two sets of resolutions in
his pocket, which he proposed asking

Imam Smith moved that it be accepted
and filed. which motion was unani-
lmously adopted. AS there is no meet

,, understand why Council had acted as il
did. Several days ago. he said, he con
ferred with members Of Council anC

PROPOSED PARK ENTRANCE
CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERING AD-
VISIBILITY OF ACQUIRING
MORE LAND.


Council as a committee OF the whole
considered an important matter after
the regular meeting had adjourned las
night.
The subject under consideration waf
the proposed purchase by the Park
Commission for park purposes of GER
tain tracts OF land on each side of Rat
tlesnake run, between Gilpin and Low
ering avenues, the proposed Rosendale
road and Rowan street.
The matter was discussed two years
ago. but no definite action taken. Last
night W. p. Bancroft, who owns c0nsid-
cradle property In that locality, ap-
peared before Council and explained
the subject fully to the members. In
case the purchase is made, it would
mean the vacation of Shallcross avenue
from Rowan street to the proposed
Rosendale road, and OF Clayton street
from Shallcross to Lowering avenues.
Ii would also avert the necessity Of
erecting a bridge over Clayton street
and Rattlesnake run on Shallcross ave-
nue.. as is now the case on Lowering
avenue, as all the streets now running
through the property would be con-
demned for park purposes.
The aggregate price asked for the
tract. which includes properties ownec
by w. p Bancroft, Bradford & Candy
Dandy & Carpenter,P. p Tyre and J. ].
Cassidy, is 500. .257 OF this amount The
Park Commission has s17,5S4.55 avail
able, which can be used for park pur-
pose, but under an 'act to provide for
parks, Council can borrow the remain
ing sum necessary. II is expected that
