NEW SITE IN VIEW
FOR PLAYGROUND
Commission May Buy Plot at
South Orange and Nor
ris Avenues.

From an authoritative source it was
learned today that the Fairgrounds
Commission is considering the pur-
chase of new playground site at
South Orange and Morris avenues to
replace the present Newton street
grounds, whose proximity to the Ger
man Hospital has made it an undesir-
able site.
The deal suggested, it was learned,
is for the city to give the Newton
street grounds, and about $40. 900 in
cash for the new site. which is at
present owned by the Union Building
Company, of which Morris Rachlin
is president.
At its meeting on Monday afternoon
the commission, it is understood, will
make a decision in the matter. AL
ready several of the aldermen have
been interviewed on the question, and
it is said that all have promised to
support the commission in the pur-
chase.
For some time past residents of the
Sixth ward have been clamoring for a
playfield for the children in that sec
ton. Alderman Avitus Dougherty has
been enrolled in the cause and is said
to be in favor of the scheme.
None Of the Fairgrounds commits
sioners would have anything to say
on the proposition. DR.. ii. Rachlin,
secretary of the company, was seen,
but refused to commit himself on
the terms offered the city.
The Newton street grounds has a
frontage of 175 feet on Newton street
and about 100 feet on Wallace street.
The old commission paid about $685.
900 for the plot. which real estate
men now declare is not worth sixty
per cent. of that amount.
The grounds which the commits
sion has under consideration has a
frontage of seventy-two feet on
South Orange avenue, $50 feet on
Morris avenue and 200 feet on Bruce
street. This property has been
valued at about $4,000.
:. In making the exchange the pres
emit owners of the new tract are will
ing to allow the city the full pur-
chase price on the Newton street
grounds. On the opposite side of the
street on Morris avenue another
piece has a frontage Of 900 feet and
has been offered the city. No price
has been fixed on the land, however.
