MAY USE FAIRGROUNDS
FOR WEST SIDE PARK
City Commission Encounters
Difficulty in Determining
Upon Fairgrounds Site.

Opposition has developed among
vest side residents 10 the establishment
of a park along the Jordan river be-
streets. Another location has been ten
dcrrd trc city aud this is favored by
many while tho first named site is
advocated by others. Some hostility
has been cngcudercd between the two
factions, and n possible outcome OF the
controversy is that the city authorities
will emil by refusing 10 establish a park
in this section Of the city at all.
Tho latest site To he offered the com.
mission is the east half Of the block
bonded By Second North. Eighth West,
Third North and Ninth West streots.
This plot contains four ana oue-half
acres. and the owners ask $4,000 for
the land. This price is regarded by
Park Commissioner Kcyscr AS entirely
too high. The proposed site along tho
Jordan river contains twenty one
acres and can be purchased for $4,000
and this Mr.. Keyser also declares an
ample price. The latter site, however
rs more favored by members Of the
area and lower cost, and is only four
blocks moro distant from the center
of tho city than the half block for
which $4,000 is asked
Commissioner keyscr has plan
which if found practicable, will settle
the question OF n west side park and
Fairgrounds without calling for any
outlay for purchase of grounds. The
state fair grounds Is in tho immediate
vicinity of the proposed sites, and Mr..
keyser will ask the State Fair associa-
ton for the use Of the northeastern
portion of the grounds, at present
practically unused, to be used as a park
and public Fairgrounds, to be equipped
ana maintained at the expense OF the
city. Some legislative enactment may
be necessary for the association to have
the right to grant the request. The
matter will be discussed today by Com.
missioner Kcyser and members of the
board.
The state fair grounds are unused
except during fortnight in the fall,
and the portion Of the grounds could
we'll he used for park purposes. Mr..
keyser would use the infield of the
race track for baseball grounds, and
improve whatever parts the association
would loan the city in parking and
playground
The state has already indicated It's
wish to devote a small portion of it's
grounds adjoining the river to play
ground purposes jf the city would close
the street running through the tract.
This the former city administration re-
fused to do, but the commission may
find q way to overcome the difficulty
and park at least a portion of the
grounds.

II Is hoped 20 have the highway

automobile trips taken across the
continent by wealthy people. II We
have this park route in good shape
by that time large percentage of

character Of travel there is no doubt
that 80 pcr cent will pass through

Between Pocatclo and Rlackfoo, Is
a. stretch of sand ROAD through which
~ once required a strong team to
pull light buggy. We got orr
forces 'u work and secured an ap-
preparation OF S20,0 900 10 cover this
stretch with a macadam highway.
