Vigorous Plea Made for
Playground in Potrero'
Hundreds Of Children
Are Without arks,
Says Pastor

Father Patrick O'Connell. pastor OF
ST. Teresa's church in the Potrero
made an appeal yesterday to the public
utilities committee of the board Of SUI
pervisors for provision for a park ir
the district in which the priest has
labored for many years.
The mothers in the Potrero." de-
clared the priest, have eight or ter
children. 1t is impossible fir them to
go with their fIocks to Golden Gate
park. There is no doubt about the
necessity for a park in the Potrero dis
trict. where there is population OF
10000 and no par kor play ground.
MANY PARKS ELSEWHERE
I'VE may in years have a play ground
at Jackson park. but in the last 20
years no step has been taken toward
that end. Twentieth street will soon be
cut through and there has been discus
sion over the possible purchase of q
park site near Twentieth and Rhode
Island streets. but nothing has been
done. The city is not doing justice to
our part of the city Our district has
been almost entirely neglected There
have a park and there is a park at
Geary and Powell streets and there are
parks out where the we'll to do people
live, but not in our district where a
park is absolutely needed, where we
have children that should have parks &c
play in. I have 500 children in my Sun
day school and there are thousands OF
children in the public schools"
You surely have more kids than the
cave dwellers in the apartment houses
have" asserted Supervisor Herget
We haven't given that part of the
city enough attention in the matter of
parks" declared Supervisor Loughery.
Father O'ConnelIs vigorous appeal
for his people and their district was
but one twice among many who ap-
pealed to the public utilities commit
tee for action on another bond issue to
provide parks for the several resi-
dence districts Of the city.
BOND ELECTION PROPOSED
Theodore Pinther of the Glen Park
Improvement association, urged the
supervisors to call a special election
for the purpose of submitting to the
voters proposition to bond the city
for the acquisition of park sites. aIong
the lines of the bond issue defeated at
the last bond election, when each
neighborhood voted solidly for the
park in its particular district and
against the propositions to establish
parks in other districts. The members
of the committee yesterday agreed that
II was too late now to iclude the park
bond proposition at the charter amend :
ment election called for November *
though Pinther did not favor that plan.
Pinther thought ii would be better TO
call special bond election in Novem
Der for park bonds. The committee
held that such an election would cost
$4,000
Pinther, speaking generally for the
acquisition of parks in the Mission. Po
trero and Baw View districts, pointed
out the necessity of parks. He spoke
particularly for the acquisition of Glen
park, which would cost $4,000. from
the Crocker estate. He. too, dwelt on
the large families of the Mission and
Potrero districts. WE have no race
suicide there; we have families of six,
eight and ten children"
