WANTS PARKS USEFUL
AS WELL AS ORNAMENTAL

At meeting of the city council
yesterday, Councilman Betkouski took
occasion to denounce the plan of the
park commissioners to ask for an ap-
preparation of close to 100000 to beau
tify Central park and yet allow no
benches to be placed therein for the
comfort of any who might desire to
rest within the proposed beauty spot.
II am willing to meet the park
board,' said Betkouski, but 1 will
tell you right now that I will never
countenance any appropriation for a
park such as the board wants to make
of Central park. believe that benches
should be placed in all parks in order
that visitors might have an oppor-
tunitv to sit down. l believe that a
park should be useful as well as orna-
mental"

COUNCIL REFUSES MORE
FUNDS FOR CELEBRATION
Majority Declares the 5000 Now
Voted Should Be Enough
for the Fourth

IGNORING a message from Mayor Al
exander and q plea from councilman
Gregory for an additional $500 to carry
out the proposed plans OF the fourth
of July celebration committee, the CITY
council Yesterday turned down the re-
quest Councilman Gregory explain eNpIallieo 3a
that such an amount was necessary TO
fittinglv celebrate the day, and as sub
scriptions toward the fund had been
made it was hoped that the body
would assist the celebration with the
sum asked. -,-,..
"Why." said Councilman Washburn,
I'VE gave them $500 last week-a nun
dred more than asked. l want TINS
matter explained"
Councilman O'Brien showed that the
original plans of the committee had
been enlarged in scope so that cele-
bratiors could also be held in San Pc
dro and Hollywood, and that II was
found that with the amounts allotted
to bands and entertainment there
would not be sufficient to make the
plans a reality. -
President Lusk gave 1t as MS view
that men handling the money OF others
were more inclined to be generous than
those handling their own 1ndlVluuMa M
funds and stated that he was not IN
favor of the appropriation.
ar am continued Lusk, "as patrl-
attic as any man in the United States
hut I feel that at this time the city Is
in need of money, with all the i'm
provements contemplated, and do not
favor the request. I think that there
is enough patriotism in the city to
properly celebrate the day without the
expenditure of too much money"
Councilman Gregory made plea for
Young America of the city. who, he
said, deprived of fireworks by city or
dinance, should be given some substi-
tute in entertainment at the various
parks.
Councilman Andrews was not in IA
yor of teaching the youth of the coun-
try to handle gunpowder, and with
Councilrnen Williams, Washburn, Bet
kousli and President Lusk voted down
the measure.
