ACTING MAYOR
PROMISES AID
w. D. Voorhees, Fayors ST.
600 Appropriation for the
Playground Commission.
WILL GIVE SUPPORT
President Baldwin Confers
With 0fficiaI--Some of the
Aldermen Are Opposed.

The Playground Commission, ac-
|eording to statement by Acting
Mayor William d. Voorhees, today,
will probably receive an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for next years work.
Although the budget is not yet made
up Mr.. Voorhees, thinks that the
foregoing sum win be included when
IT is. G. G. Baldwin, president of
the commission, held a conference
with the acting mayor last night on
the subject.
The playground commission has
not convened since August and the
first session for the winter months
will be held at City Hall next Tues
day evening at 5 o'clock. Although
the board has not been In session in
over three months, yet MI Baldwin
and Armin Tomaschoff, the secre-
tary, have been doing considerable
work for the advancement of the
boards ideas and will have many
surprising and instructing facts to
be deliberated upon at the next ses-
sion.
Last year many of the commits
sioners were of the opinion that at
least $4,000 would be needed to
carry out their work as planned for
the coming year. Mr.. Baldwin when
called this morning would not COM
NIT himself as to whether he was
pleased with the amount mentioned.
He was loud In his praise for Mr..
Voorhees,, whom he called the
boards champion
Although Mr.. Voorhees, has prom
ised the board his support for the
$4,000 appropriation, 1t was learned
today that several OF the aldermen
are opposed to this request of the
commission. 1t is contended by
some of the members that the
amount Is excessive and are opposed
to it principally on this account
Members of the Playground Com
mission will strive to carry out their
plans as contemplated last year. 1t
Is proposed to have In operation dur
ing May, June, July, August, Sep
tember and October of next year two
Fairgrounds 1t Is estimated accord
ing to plans made last year that 1t
will cost S75e for the superintend-
ence and about $4,000 for grounds
and equipment. II the aldermen do
not grant over $4,000 1t may be
necessary to make some changes in
their plans OF last year. 4ss-tas-eAs
1t was learned today that Albert
Bollschweiler as mayor neglected to
name terms for the respective MEM
bers OF the Playground Commission
when he chose them. The law on
this question was Investigated by
Acting Mayor William D. Voorhees,
and 1t was seen that the terms run
from one to five years for the five
members of the commission.
