MAKING PLANS FOR
PARK IMPROVEMENT

Commissioner Charles X Holm
burg is beginning on definite pans
for the improvement of Cottonwood
park, near the Emerson school, in the
southeast part of the city. The park
has been cleared of unnecessary I'M
derbrush, dead trees have been taken
out, and the whole tract plowed.
Plans prepared by w. w. Parce, the
Boulder landscape architect, have
been received here and Will probably
be adopted. One of the features of
this plan is the depressed lawn in
the center. This space, in winter
will be made into "A skating tank for
the children, and Mr.. Holmburg eX-
poets it to become "A popular resort
for the youngsters.
Several other playground features
will be Incorporated in the Cotton
wood park. The place is now being
put up to grade preparatory to spring

VOTbeCk Believes Applicants for
Elective Offices Should Be
Examined as Others.

A civil service commission to exam
fne eligibles for commissionerships
would be much more advisable than
board to regulate appointments, in
the opinion of H. f. Vorbeck, COM
missioner of health and civic beauty.
The necessity for the board which is
to be created and appointed next
Tuesday does not appeal to Mr.. Vor-
beck, but he does insist that the
public should have some means OF
knowing that candidate for public
office is qualified for the place to
which he aspires.
ANY sort of man can run any
sort of an office nowadays" said
Mr.. Vorbeck yesterday, in discussing
the subject, and political exigencies
sometimes cause the election of q
man wholly untitled by training and
temperament for office.

SHOULD EXAMINE CANDIDATES

IAN examining board, therefore,

Mr.. Vorbeck, in common with the
other member of the city council,
feels that the creation of the civil
service commission is somewhat pre-
mature and at present is unnecessary
However. there is a charter provis-
ion which demands the appointment
of such board before January l 4,
