WOULD INCLUDE STRIP IN
TERRITORY OF SOUTH PARK
Commissioners View Land in Burton
Tract and Recommend 1t Be
Made Public Land

AIembers of the park commission and
the mayor went to South park yester-
day afternoon to look at the strip OF
land the property owners in that vi
entity want made a portion of South
park. This strip is known as Burton's
Park Front tract and adjoins South
park on the north. The commission
concluded there was no doubt this strip
of land should be included in the park.
The property owners, who are most
concerned in having this land con-
demned for park purposes, have also
asked the commission to recommend to
the council that the required 35 per
cent frontage in park assessment
district before the council will take
action, be reduced to 10 per cent. They
hold it is impossible to get the sigma
lures of the owners of 35 per cent of the
property in the district.
The commission will not ask that the
percentage be reduced so low, but
probably will recommend it be made
25 per cent.

In spite of the we'll laid plans for the
complete organization of the public
schools Monday. September 20. the men,
bers of the board of education and
school officials are positive that there
will be schools which will not be able to
catch up to the procession for several
days after that date. Notably the Gar

October 1. unless the contractors ac-
complish miracle. Capt. James F. Oys-
ter. president of the board. went over the
Garfield School situation with Assistant
Supt Bruce this morning. following a
visit to the Garfield and other schools
yesterday
Mr.. Bruce is convinced that the condi-
ton at the Garfield School will neces-
state delay in the opening there for at
least ten days. The school is just now a
sore point with members of the board, as
that body asked the District Commits
sioners to delay tearing down the old
school until the new one had been fin
ished. When the officials arrived at the
school yesterday. according to one OF the
visitors, half the place was torn down
and the men were getting ready to throw
the furniture out" The new school is ten
days or two weeks from completion.
Incessant Work Necessary.
There are other schools which will be
completely ready for the pupils Monday
only by incessant labor between now
and then. If the Blake, the Magruder.

others are ready it will be welcome
surprise to the officials. There is much
to do with the heating plants of all the
schools, and If a cold snap takes WASH

the Hubbard School a ditch has been
dug, and four feet Of the portable
