HOSPITAL SITE FOR PLAYGROUND Resolution Before Aldermen to Use City's Twelfth Ward
 Plot for Athletic
 Events. WILL SETTLE QUESTION If Healy's Vote is Passed Future of NexatiOus Fair Haven Land
 Will be Deter
 mined.
WILL SETTLE QUESTION

II the resolution introduced into-the Board of Aldermen last evening by Al derman Healy from the eleventh ward Is passed by that body the large plot or ground in the twelfth ward bounded by Clinton avenue, English, Dover and AtWater streets, which was purchased many years ago as site for a con- taglous disease hospital will never be used for that object. The land has been great bone of contention and a thorn in the side of the twelfth ward residents for several years. It was bought quietly for the contagious dis ease purpose but on account of the ag- itation aroused by the subject ten years ago when the purchase was made the matter was allowed to lie dormant for time waiting for the ef- fects of lapse of time. About year ago the matter came up again at which time a determined attempt was made to have the erection of the hospital or that site voted and settled. It was settled but in way unexpected by the movers in the project
 
 The matter aroused such hornets sistance' on the part of the twelfth ward residents in particular and Faii Haveners in general that the project was utterly defeated and has beer dead ever since.
 Now Alderman Healy who lives ir that section of the city and knows Its needs has introduced motion which will come up soon for public hearing that the land owned by the city anc now for so many years unused be con verted into public playground for thC use of those who desire to enjoy tn, outdoor life. At present there is ar elongated park running for severa blocks right near this site but it 1: so narrow that not baseball diamond, l or football fields can be laid out upor it and it's use as playground is prac i tically nil. But the site in question 1, a large square of ground and would make ideal athletic fields and woult offer the only available athleti grounds in that section of the cit, which is now being rapidly built up The solution will be followed witt considerable interest by all persons il that section of the city and in all tn other wards also as if it is passed i will settle the question of the site fo all time. The matter will come up fo hearing before the special committe in charge of the East Rock pla. grounds

CAMP IN QUESTION House of Representatives Turns Down the Appropri-
 ation.
COLE STILL HAS HOPE
Suggests That There Are Other Ways to Send Our Regiment
 There.

The house of representatives at Washington has just passed the pro- posed military appropriation bill but failed to include the item of S1,000,- 900 to be used for military manoeuv- CTS. Adjutant General George M. Cole was interviewed in Hartford by representative Of this paper last evening upon what effect this will have upon the proposed encampment announced for the Second regiment of New Haven for next July at Water town, N Y. General Cole said he was greatly disappointed that the bill had not passed the house in it's orig might still pass the senate with the 1,000,000 maneeuver appropriation in it, in which case there would still be chance for it going into effect.
 General Cole hinted that, if the ap- propriation was not forthcoming there might be other ways of meeting the expenses of the encampment at Watertown Whether this meant that the state of Connecticut might pay the expenses of the Second regiment troops while they are at Watertown he would not say. General Cole said that the Second would undoubtedly l have it's camp and at the time an- nounced, but just where might still l be a question. He would not say whether the Second would go to Man tic if the Watertown proposition went through or not
 The general has been very desrous that the sl,000,O0O appropriation go through congress and has made sev- eral appeals to the Connecticut mem bers in congress, urging them to do their utmost 10 put 1t through. He will go to Washington to-day to find out just how. the land lies and help along the appropriation all he can.
 There seems to be little reason to believe that the state of Connecticut would be willing to pay the expenses of the Second regiment to allow it to camp with the regulars at Watertowr in July This is because the men in the ranks are themselves not looking forward to the prospect of such ar encampment with a great deal of rel ish, and it is though they may bring pressure to bear They still have ir mind the unpleasant surroundings oi the encampment at Manassas. where they had to put up with all sorts ol inconvenlences. The promise Of tho federal authorities that the proposed camp of this summer would not be 2 repetition of those conditions is look ed at a bit askance in many quarters
 It seems to be the general belle that. If the Watertown propositio, falls to go through. that the state vii send the Second to Mantle this sum mer as is generally the case.
 The omission of the SI00O.000 ap propriation will net effect the join operations of regulars and militii about sea coast defenses, which hav' been planned for next summer an' instructions are now being preparei for the guidance of the command that will take part in these exercises There have been some changes in tn dates for these manoeuvers, Connee ticut having been given from June to June 90.
