CIVIC COMMISSION TAKES AC-
TON FAVORABLE TO $780,
900 BOND ISSUE ASKED BY
CITY PARK BOARD.

ACTON 1aVOraDle TO the Sl,oOU,-
900 bond issue asked by the park
board for park extension was
taken last night by the civic COM
mission having the revision of the
city charter under consideration.
Councilman Baldwin, regarded
hitherto as an enemy of park
finance freedom. seconded the mo-
ton.
A recommendation was made to
the city council asking that body
to submit to the people an amend
ment to the city charter striking
out the provision placing a limit
of 100000 on the amount of bonds
that can be issued for park pur-
poses in one year, and leaving the
matter to the discretion of the
city council, subject to the laws OF
the state.
This proposed change, If ap-
proved by the people, will remove
the legal bar to the $1,000,000 bond
issue that at present exists in the
city charter.
Another provision of the pro-
posed amendment is to leave the
question of tire life of the bonds
with the city council. instead of
making the same 20 years, as at
present required under the char
ter. The object of this change is
to enable the proposed issue of
bonds to run for a period of so
years, In order that coming gen
erations, which will derive their
share of the benefit of the public
parks, may pay their portion of
the expense entailed in acquiring
and improving the same.
The proposed amendment does
not interfere with the present char
ter provision for the maintenance
of the parks by the imposition of a
tax lazy of not less than one mill
per year. Neither does it in any
way interfere with the present
nonpartisan character of the park
board. The proposed amendment
on park finances was adopted on
motion of Corporation Counsel l..
r. Hamblen, seconded by Council
man Fred Baldwin.
Previous to the action on the
park amendment last night the
commission listened to the reading
of a clear and seemingly satisfac-
tory statement as to park finances
prepared by A. l.. White. chairman
of the park board. Mr.. White said
that $4,000 of the 100000 bond
issue sold year ago was still on
hand, but that land deals were
pending and would soon be closed
that would consume all of this
money. The possession of this
cash enabled the park board to
drive better bargains in buying
park lands, and the money has in
the meantime been drawing inter
est at the rate of two per cent in
the banks.
Mr.. White said the present need
of the $1,o00,00O bond issue was
for the acquisition of park lands
before the value of unimproved va
cant property rose higher. In the
last few months, he said, over
2,100 acres of unimproved land
within the city had been plated
into lots, thereby reducing the
amount of land available for pur-
chase. He says the purpose is to

likely to get adulterated or counter.

with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety II he only makes

Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.

thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance. but also Affects the wear

LANDoR AFTER SOUTH POLE

A. Henry Savage Landor explorer, who will
soon make an attempt to reach the south pole Is
of the opinion that Lieut. Shackleton failed
through having a cumbersome and unnecessarily
large expedition.
Mr. Landor's theory is that a small caravan
of trusted and hardy men, lightly equipped, like
his expeditions through Asia and Africa, is best.
The warm season will be chosen for Landor's
dash to do what Lieut.. Shackleton nearly sue
ceeded in accomplishing and It Is now planned to
consume the best part of year in the attempt.
Mr. Lsndor's activity in aeronautic investiga-
