FRICTION IN PARK BOARD
Contest Between Members Over PFeEi-

Strained Feelings.

Persons in close touch with Park board
affairs are wondering II there is to be
clashing productive of sparks noise and
other things at a meeting called for
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Since the
meeting Monday. when the board was
organized for the year and Commissioner
Craig made president, II has developed
that Comr' issioner Gonden wanted to De
head of 1 } body very much and was
bitterly disappointed in Craig's selection
The other commissioners voted to make
Mr. Gonden vice president, as a bit Of
salve. but the latter is quoted as say
ing he won't accept the honor under the
circumstances; also. that the minutes OF
Mondays meeting remain to be approved
and that perhaps the approving will not
be altogether sweet and calm. Commits
sioner Mills was out of town at the last
meeting and 1t is supposed Mr.. Gonden is
relying both on his help and the probable
absence Tuesday of Commissioner Cor
nish.
Commissioner Gonden at the meeting
held this week contended stoutly for a
delay in organization until the vacancy
on the board is filled, but Commissioner
Cornish pointed out the requirement of
the law directing organization on a spe-
cihc date.
