In reply TO a communication from
the board Of governors Of the High
School Athletic Association relative to
the use of the grounds az Eighth and
Rodney streets, it was decided to ex-
ton, in their desire for an athletic
field. IL was claimed that the grounds
are under control OF the Water De-
partment, being the old Rodney street
reservoir. and while the city cannot
sell the plot, the High School Associa-
ton was willing TO expend between
Sc 600 and $4,000 on IL in erecting a
grand stand and fence. In return they
wanted complete control and the right
to rent the grounds out. The commu-
nication stated that a request for the
grounds had been made to the Water
Department.
There was discussion about the
proprlety Of selling the reservoir
plot, and William p. Bancroft ex-
pressed the thought that the time has
come for the city TO part with it,
The Star Publishing Company sub
mitted a proposition to publish a sup
plement TO its paper containing pho
tographs and other data concerning
the city parks. The cost OF these IL
was said would be 5000. Owing to
the financial condition Of the Board
the proposition was not accepted.
During discussion on this matter

ture had failed to pass the bill
authorizing the board to borrow
