The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1907-10-01

Action taken Dy tne CITY couhcii a.
an adjourned meeting held Monday
evening will bring Joy to the hearts
of practically every small boy In
Marion. Also Joy to hundreds OF
boys and men who are not too large
to enjoy the great winter sport of ice
skating.
Councilman J E. Phillips was the
man of the hour. He introduced a
motion to have the park superintend-
ent flood portions of each park for
use as skating rinks during the win
ter months. The motion was carried
without dissenting vote. Mr.. Phil
lips says that this is done in prac-
tically all cities which have public
parks and the iiea meets with great
public favor. He said that the only
thing necessary will be to build
small dikes around the areas to be
flooded and fill the pools with only
a few inches Of water. Plans for
preparing the Kinks will be made at
lonce.
All members Of the council except
~. v. Wilson, who is taking his fam
lily on trip to the jamestown expo
sition were present at the meeting.
Only little business of importance
was transacted.
Mr.. Phillips stated that people liv-
ing on many OF the new streets OF
the city are complaining because the
Marion Gas company will not extend
its lines over these streets and give
the residents the privilege of using
gas. Mr.. Phillips was Of the opin-
ion that on streets which are well
built up the people should be en-
titled to gas. HB.4
City Solicitor Donitheni said that
he has talked with the officials OF
the gas company and that they are
planning to make number OF extern
sions' just as soon as they can get
men to do the work. He says he
does not believe that people on the
new streets will have any trouble get
ting gas IL they can get a sufficient
number to sign agreements to use 1t
in case mains should be laid.
Mr.. Carpenter said that two years
ago the Gas company was directed to
put in mains out on Kenton avenue
