CLUB ISDORSES BOARDS
PLAN FOR FAIRGROUNDS

The Belleville Catholic Club at
meeting last night Endorsed the ac-
ton of the Belleville Board of Edu-

of the old Mutual A. A. baseball
grounds on Hornblower avenue as a
playground.
That public opinion is divided on
this question is evident from the fact
that the Board of Trade at recent
meeting did not take kindly to the
action of the Board of Education on
the grounds that the town was at
present too heavily burdened with
municipal improvements and also
that 1t was not, at present, alto
gether necessary. That spirited fight
will be the result when the matter
is presented to the people Is expected.
The Catholic Club has received the

Union for its annual games at Hill

John l.. Sullivan, Robert Anderson
