.KENWORTHEY
HOLDS BILL
Thought City Was Paying Too
Much for Park But Ap-
proves Voucher
SENDS BACK BILL
FOR ELECTION SUPPLIES

City Auditor Charles r. Kenworthey
sent to City Council last night four
vouchers and bills One Of these vouch-
ers calls for check for ground pur-
chased by the Council for park pur-
poses, in Grant avenue, between Third
and Fourth streets. Mr.. Kenworthey
thinks the purchase price was too high
even after considering the donation of
81 900 made by William II. Bancroft,
president of the Park Commission TO
the purpose.
The land in question is located az
Fourth street and Grant avenue aud
includes what viii be a street which
IL is thought by some persons could pc
condemned. Alongside Of the land IN
question is a corner lot owned by Peter
J. Ford and ground owned by William
NJ. Boyd. The ground purchased by the
city was owned by Mr. Boyd and J.
Ernest Smith. Immediately opposite
the purchased ground is land owned
by William j. Bancroft
Mr.. Konworthey held up the ap-
proyal OF this purchase money for
sometime, but was informed by coun-
sci that he had no authority to with
hold his approval of the bill. He then
signed it. His letter to Council fol-
lows:
Voucher No. 14SO and cheques Nos.
SO31, S032 and S033 covering same
have this day been approved by this
Office
The approval was withheld for
about three weeks, since ] feel that
the property purchased on Grant ave.
nue. between Third and Fourth streets
is purchased at a considerably higher
price than would be obtained under
condemnation proceedings; even af-
ter considering the very generous
contribution of $1,000 made by Mr.
William Bancroft for the purpose Of
lessening the cost of this park to the
city.
/ also feel that in view of the fact
that II seems quite probable that the
easterly side of Grant avenue will be
continued through this property tC
Third street. it might have been bet
ter to have first condemned the street
bed. or 10 have merely purchased such
depth of ground as will actually b.
used for park or playground pur
poses.
am advised by counsel. however
that this Office could not refuse q
approve this purchase on the ground
named, and have acted in accord Will
this advice. There seems to be NJ
question that the park or playground
in question is quite desirable at
proper price.
Very respectfully,
Charles r. Kenworthey,
City Auditor
Suggests Change in Bill.
The auditor returned to Council
without his approval, bills chargeabl
against the city election appropriatio
for supplies and for delivering and col
lecting ballot boxes for the depart
ment. The bill for distributing an
collecting the ballot boxes was sub
mitted by James Kitchen. The bill TO
supplies was submitted by the Charlie
NJ. Smith Printing and Stationar
Company.
In addition TO these communication
from the auditor, he also sent one cor
cerning himself He returned a bill 70
$3.50. the cost of his surety bond o
the ground that that sum was the RAT
per year and he found upon investiga
ton that the charge should be SIS
