At the hands OF the Grounds and

Gilman Bake's scheme to authorize

lions of their domains should be occu-
pied by negroes and white people, and
also to regulate traffic. met Its Water
loo. Councilman Grimes and Alderman
Don Leavy opposed the measure, and
when the vote was taken it was re-
jected. 9 to /.
Mr.. Blake drew most of his reasons
for such an ordinance from conditions
titled that so drastic an ordinance was
not needed in the majority of city
parks. They were of the opinion that
the parkkeepers were competent under
the present rules to preserve law and
order, with the aid of the police force.
, Being beaten in this, Mr. Blake an
nounced that he would offer resolu-
ton later for park for the colored
people in old Jackson Ward No OPP
