MAYOR IS PLANNING

PURCHASE OF RICHMOND COL

DOES NOT DEEM 1T WISE TO DIS
CLOSE LOCATIONS or OTHER
PROPERTIES At THIS

If Mayor George c. Ainslie has his
~sy, Richmond viii. before many
years have rolled around, he justly
known as "the city of parks"
The mayor believes that Richmond
cannot have too many of these places
Of recreation for it's citizens. and it
IS his Idea to so distribute these parks
that every section of the city shall
have park Of it's own The idea
Of distribution not only carries out
the plan of locating these recreation
spots for the sake of convenience. but
also lends TO the plan Of beauttfying
the city.
The first intimauon that Mayor
Ainsiie had taken UP the park ques-
ton was revealed in his address the
ether night TO Richmond college stu
dents. when he suggested the pur-
chase Of the property for a city park

to let this property go for any other
purpose than a city park II is the
most ideally located of any property
within the city limits for that pur-
pose"
Referring TO the manner in which
the new mayor has taken hold Of the
relns. citizen observed yesterday
GU can't tell what that mayor OF
ours is going to do next. His NUM-
cipal cabinet idea has appealed inn
mensely TO the people and SO will this
park matter, There's no use talk
ing, he's on the job all the time,
thinking and planning for Richmond s.
development, and when live wire
like he Is gets started there's no stop
ping it. My prediction is that he will
leave monument of progress behind
him when he retires--that is if Rich
mond folks ever let him retire"
