SUGGESTS CHANCE
IN PARK SCHEME
Birdsall Thinks Plat to South OF
Reservoir Suitable for
Athletic Field.
FARTHER FROM BASINS
Would Eliminate Danger OF Children
Falling Into Water-Ground
Is in Better Shape.

Consideration of a more feasible
scheme for the new athletic park is
being taken up by members of the city
commission, along lines suggested by
L. I. Birdsall, superintendent OF Ultra
ton, and perhaps the commission will
make a change in the scheme which
has already been outlined. AS the work
has not been commenced yet, 1t is sug-
gested that the plans be changed so
that the property to the south of the
reservoir plant instead Of on the east,
be turned over to schools and athletic
organizations who desire TO use it.
ELIMINATES DANGER.
In the first place. it would take the
games little further from the reser-
yoir and eliminate danger OF accident
and would keep the spectators off of
the embankments. Then IL would be
easier to fix that portion of the city
property into an athletic park. On the
site which was first proposed. a ball
could be knocked into the settling
basins and might cause a little trou-
BILE. The new scheme would elimin-
ate that There is plenty OF room to
the south and that plat is handler for
everyone, and should the field be made
there, the tendency would be to keep
away from the reservoir altogether.
The matter has been taken up with
the commission in the view of benefit
ting everyone, and not to block the
scheme.
