in connection with Mr. E. G. Davis, the
Collector. arrangements were made
whereby the position of clerk and bank

Warner offering certain suggestions re-
garding school grounds and buildings.
He first suggests that where it is pos

play grounds around school houses
where the present space is too limited,
and where children are consequently
forced to occupy the streets, to the
great detriment and annoyance of child
rem living in the neighborhood. as we'll
as being dangerous to the children them
selves. In his second letter. Mr.. Warn
er suggests that vines be planted about
the school houses. He says:

Permit me to call your attention to
the desirabiiity of planting some suit
able variety of vines around many of the
school houses of the city and county. L

nearly every day, and it's appearance
would be very greatly improved If not
only vines, but also trees were planted.

as follows:
Il appreciate your suggestions as 10

policy of the Commissioners to buy as
much ground as possible for every new
