Something Funny Here.

Protests from the other park trustees
resulted in the agents of the land re-
ducing the price to s1250 an acre maxi
ing the total amount to s327.5O0.
Castleman's plan is now to hand $780,
600. to be raised by a bond issue to
the owners of the land and then AXE an
option on the rest. Thus no improve
ments could be made for three or our
years and all of Gary's park fund would
be spent at once.
Castieman's chief plea for the i'm
mediate purchase of the land at such
a terrible cost to the taxpayers Is that
now is the only chance for the ''pee-pur
to get the lake front land Certain
members of the council have held con-
situations with the alderman. who is
now the object of custer proceedings on
the part of the Gary Commercial Club,
and it is said that there will be
enough votes in the city council to rush
the purchase through
In fact it is said that unless unfor-
seen obstacles did not prevent it the
park grab would have been consumnat-
ed last week but some alert tax payers
got busy and prevented the city from
going bankrupt.
While 1t Is the ambition of every
Gary citizen to have a lake front park
| 1t is freely admitted that the placing
OF the park work in Castlemans hands
| is about as dangerous proceeding that
could have been done. 1t is the genera
opinion that the securing of a LAKE
front park at sky high prices would be
the height of folly.
No Park For Rest of City.
| 1t is also pointed out that the spend
| ing of the entire park fund for years
| to come on a park at Miller woule
leave money for parks for the rest OF
the city.
A better plan has ben suggested ana
that is that there be small park o.
lffty or sixty acres on Miller beach, one
/ at Clark, another in the south end O.
| the city, third fn'ATolleston and tn.
largest one in East Gary on the Ridg,
road district where land can be secured
at compar itively low price.
To Prevent Any LoOting.

park facilities at Miller will give tn,
