Transfer of Lots to Play
grounds Commission

j. T. Denahy. George F. STAFF, N c.
Weinholz, H. E. winkler and Charles
Erickson OF the Holly Park improve
ment association appeared before the
board OF education yesterday afternoon
and protested against the changing Of
the name OF Holly Park school TO Juni-
pero Sierra, and backed the protest by
petition signed by $50 residents of
the district asking that the action be
reconsidered and the old name restored.
I have the gerstest respect for the
memory OF the venerable father" said
Denahy. but the name is difficult
one for little children TO pronounce and
beside his name has been honored by
giving it to one OF our great boule-
wards. Then it is misleading. as people
who do not know will believe that the
school is located near the boulevard.
Our club was instrumental in having
the school located where 1t is and we
have had a handsome banner painted
to present TO the school; also the name,
Holly Park school, appears on the cor
ner stone and is cut in stone in the
building"
. The board took the protest under
consideration.
The board in6orsed a request Of the
same committee that the board Of su-
pervisors purchase two lots adjacent
70 the school for a play yard.
WOULD IMPROVE GROUNDS
President Best OF the San Bruno i'm
provement club asked the board TO
have the space between the inner line
Of the sidewalk and that Of the lot on
which the Portola school stands
grassed and creeping plants placed at
the front wall Of the school.
A resolution was offered requesting
the supervisors 10 transfer the Sacra-
nento street the Madison and the Mar
shall school lots TO the play grounds
commission superintendent Romeo
vieri said that If that were done the
title would vest in the commission.
and the school board would lose the
property, which it might need in the
future legal opinion on the subject
viii be sought.
