Council Authorized 1t to Secure
Prices on Two Tracts Pre-
viously Considered.

The question of some action
towards securing parks for the City
of Chanute that has been interest
ing the citizens for some time wa.
prom tly answered ID the counCi
m eeting Monday night when |. n
Johnson, chairman of the public
buildings and grounds committee
m ade his report of the sentiment Of
the men who spoke at the public
meeting in the morning. He how
ever stated that he was somewhat al
a loss how the council should pro
ceed to carry out the request CT the
citizens at that meeting. The coun.
Gil members however felt no naed
for further discussion and promptly
passed motion authorizing the
buildings and grounds committee to
secure options on the fair grounds
and on the Jones grove tracts and
report at the next meeting. Nc
reference was made to the possibil.
ity of az acquiring the Wilder site as
it had not been mentioned in the
motion carried at the meeting Ct
the citizens in the morning, though
that tract had been mentioned by.
some of the speakers.
Representative Chanute ci,iz3ns
vigorously endorsed the move to Sc
cure parks for Chanute at meeting
in the city hall Monday morning.
Councilman |. N. Johnson, chair
man of the Building and G:ounds
committee opened The meeting by
saying that his committee had de-
layed action until. the public gen
orally had time to decide what
action they wished the city to take.
When he asked fer expressions of
opinion A. H. Turner spoke in favor
of Jones Grove and the fairgrounds
so that each side of the city might |
be rel resented. Ex-mayor Abbott
spoke on the value of parks as play |
grounds and recreation resorts for
the people and as places for the out
door meetings when prominent men
are secured to speak. He stated
his reg:et tn at he had been unable
to accomplish more during his term
of office towards securing parks.
Dan Bloomheart believes the senti-
ment for parks, is strong and that
the council should submit some |
propos on to the people at once.
S. c. Brown spoke In favor of the
Wilder site as a third park. N. E. !
Wood believes that the only thing |
needed to bring Chanute up to date
with other cities is adequate parks |
and he hopes that the city will issue
bonds and buy the two park sites
at once.

established and thought that now
was the time to get them while sites
we're avaible. r. N. Allen wanted
the proposition for two parks che OK
ed up to the people at once and the
council to obtain the best prices on
the two tracts being considered. ].
H. Rickel favored some provision
whereby the city might in the future
plat and sell the land to be secured
/ for the parks if it should SO desire
DR.. E. B. Park spoke particularly
in favor of securing the Wilder site
because of its attractive character
and convenient location. He further
said that the old soldiers would be
glad to erect their $4,000 monument
there if the city should desire,
AT the conclusion of the discus
sion it was moved by S. c. Brown
aud seconded by ]. NJ. Massey tha
it was the consensus of opinion Of
the meeting that the council be re
quested to secure options on the
Jones grove and the Playground
and submit the propo sition to the
people in the near future in regard
to votirg bonds for the purchase OF
the two tracts. The motion was
carried unanimously. Chairman
Johnson was much graufied with the
interest taken and the free expires
sion of opinion.
The council acted favorably upon
the requests of property owners
from two different sections of the
city Monday evening for permission
to have sidewal placed SO as no
to ipjure lawns though not in stric'
accord with previous grade require
ments.
