RUNDLETT is ANGRY.
City Eoalneer threatens to
Close Third Street Bridge

There was a lively tilt yesterday be-
tween City Engineer Rundlett and As
semblyman Keller before the assem-
bly, committee on streets. The recon-
mendation of Mr.. Rundlett that &c.,
900 be spent refiooring and paving the
East Third street bridge started the
trouble
Il do not believe that it is necessary
to spend this amount on the bridge at
this time," said Mr. Keller, with de-
cision. Il believe that the bridge can
be used in its present condition for
some time"
IF the assemblyman has no regard
for my recommendation," asserted Mr.
Rundlett, Il will fence the bridge up
as SOON as it becomes impossible and
let it be known that the bridge was
closed because OF the objection of Mr..
Keller TO the improYement."
But I believe that the bridge will
remain passable until next year." in
sisted the assemblyman.
Il suppose he is more familiar with
the condition of the bridge than
am," asserted Mr. Rundlett.
The. committee decided to postpone
action for two weeks. and in the mean
time will view the bridge and make an
investigation of its condition.

The Methodist ministers OF the city,
at meeting 1.-THE Ryan hotel yester-

amendment providing for. system of
public Fairgrounds in st. Paul
The action was taken after a dis

member of the joint committee of the
Commercial club and Civic league,
which established the playground at
Como avenue and Gaultier street. DR..

"The park was in operation this
summer from July to Oct. Is, and ii
has proved a success in every respect
said DR.. Dunning. "As we intended
when we started with the work. it is
but the commencement of system
which We hope will be extended 10 ev-
cry part of the city II was our plan
to have the work turned over TO the
city so that it might become a munich
pal affair instead of a private enter
prise. In other cities this plan has
been adopted, and we have found that
1t is the only method that works satis-
factorily
1T is impossible to either establish
or maintain Fairgrounds on popular
subscriptions, so that it is necessary
that the city should take charge of
them and place them in the care of one
of the boards. H
With the appropriation we received
and the money secured through a base
ball game we have managed to con-
duct the park this year and have a
slight balance on hand. 1t will be nee
essary, however, to have the city take
hand in order that the work may be
continued"
More Fairgrounds Needed
DIR. Dunning then spoke of the need
of Fairgrounds in all parts of the city,
He said that if $4,000 is paid by the
city each year for ten years for estab-
fishing and maintaining Fairgrounds,
the expenditure would prove good in
vestment in that the rising generation
would be improved physically and NOR
