TITLE TO
" PARK IS NOT
F.. FORFEITED

Corporation Counsel Geraghty to-
day takes the position that the
city has not forfeited it's title to
Mantle park because it did not
comply with the agreement enter
ed into with the doners. 81 do not
concede that the city's failure to
fulfill its entire agreement divests
it of its title" said Mr.. Geraghty.
At the meeting of the chamber
of commerce and 100000 club at
the Silver Grill yesterday after
noon c. Herbert Moore startled the
gathering by asserting that the
city's right to the park was in
jeopardy because it had not car
ried out it's agreement made with
the Traction Co., F. P. Hogan, Mr..
Moore and the Washington Water
Power Co., the doners.
This agreement was that a boule-
ward should be extended through
the park and that water mains be
laid from Grand av. to Division st.
and south to Twenty-fifth av. The
nearest the city came to doing any
of this work was to run main on
Fourteenth av from Grand av.
back to the standpipe. But this
work was not done within the two
years mentioned as the time in
which the city should make the
improvements. The city during the
time expended as much money on
the park as it would have cost to
make boulevard and install a
water main, only the money was all
spent in identifying Grand av. At
the meeting yesterday Mr. Ger
agility said this had been done at
the insistence Of the owners OF
Mantle addition, which fronts on
the east of the park. On account
OF the improvements to Grand av,,
property In this addition went up.
The first intimation that the
city's right would be challenged
came when w. II. Kiernand, rep.
resentins the company which owns
the South Gable addition, sought
an opinion from attorneys because
this property had not risen in value
on account of being situated just
north Of the park, where no i'm
proyements were made.
Besides the owners of the South
Gable addition. the Washington
Water Power Co. and c. Herbert
Moore own property fronting on
the park which the improvements
on Grand av. have not enhanced In
value.

One body was found this morning
burned beyond recognition.

dying at a hospital.
None is allowed inside the plant
except the coroner.
