Why don't you raise enough money
to justify the city TO buy the lots if
you want an addition. That is the
way the members of the South Side
Improvement association do when
they want something from the city.
The committee was composed of Will
Robbins, Chas. Williams and l.. S.
Bowman, chairman.
In behalf OF the association, Mr.
Bowman explained that the lots be
longing to Levi Peacock, adjoining the
west end of the park, were for sale and
if the city did not purchase them they
would be bought by some one else.
Out houses and barns would be placed
on the line of the park and the lots,
he explained. This would not only

give only one entrance. that OF Sew
enth street. The lots were offered to
the city for S1,400. This was consider
ed too high by the city officials, as
the ground only covers SIS acre. The
park lots are more valuable than the
lots offered the city by Peacock and
the members OF the board stated that
they would not buy them al this price
Mr. Bowman said he had talked with
Mr.. Peacock and he had agreed 10
have the lots appraised by a commit
tee composed OF a member of the
board OF works, a member OF the West
Richmond Improvement association
and man appointed by himself. Mr..
Bowman said the lots could probably
be purchased for $1,000. The officials
think they ought to be worth $3.50 and

Will Be Kent Professor at
University of Yale.
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-President
Taft has made up his mind 10 accept
the proffer of the Kent professorship
of law at Yale, and probably will take
up his duties at New Haven early in
the spring.
The President was said tonight to
have determined upon accepting the
Yale professorship for several reasons
He will not be restricted merely TO
lectures to Yale students. but will be
permitted to lecture, if he desires, in
other law schools or upon the plat
form, or to engage in any other occu-
patton which he sees fit.
Recalls Cleveland Status.
The analogy between the Yale pro-
fessorship and Grover CIeveland's re-
lation with Princeton appealed TO Mr.
Taft strongly, and when many of his
close friends and advisers wrote to
him approving his acceptance of the
chair at Yale, he decided to take it.
The President expects to spend sew
eral weeks after March A, in Augusta
Ga, where he has passed two winter
vacations.
