OFFICIALS WILL UNDO
EFFORTS OF HIRAM BROWN
Mayor and Advisers Discuss Plans
for Early Completion of
Shelter Houses.

A decisive move toward the settlement
of the vexed question of the Riverside Park
shelter house was made yesterday aftrnoon
when Mayor Hoffman, the Board of Park
Commissioners Park Superintendent Power,
City Attorney Warrum, August Wacker.
the shelter house contractor, and his at
torney. +. NJ. Springer. met in the mayor S
office to consider the question.
Work on the Riverside Park shelter house
was stopped at the instance of Hiram
Brown, new Democratic president of the
park board, on the plea that the contract
for the structure, made with Mr. Wacker by
the former board, was invalid, because
the expenditure it called for was in excess
of the boards appropriation.
At yesterdays meeting in the mayors Of
flee it was practically agreed that the best
way to solve the problem is for the park
commissioners to make a contract for the
completion of the shelter house with Mr..
Wacker, which would be practicable and
legally permissible. While this cannot be
done officially until voted upon by the park
board there is little doubt but that that
board will take such action at an early date.
The amount of money involved in the orig
inal contract was $4,000, but part of this
was paid to Mr.. Wacker last fall.
