Outdoor Sport Matters Considered By
the Aldermen.

"Chubb's meadow people and Others
living in that vicinity To the number OF
some thirty-ilve, manifested their inter
est in winter sports by petitioning tn,
aldermen last night that the provisions
made for sliding in ward two be changed
in favor OF Park street At the be-
ginning of the year, East street hill was
set aside for the coasters, but persons
living in the vicinity believed Park street
to be more free from danger and APP
pended their names to petition for
that reason. Alderman Patterson moved
that the request be granted and on the
amendment made by Alderman Rossi
restrictions on East street were
returned and permission was given the
Youngsters TO slide on Park street pro-
viding they limit the starting point TO
fremont street. II was pointed out
that a descent from the hill by the coast
ing method from point farther up the
incline would be fraught with danger
TO the participants.
Eight residents OF Academy street,
who had the interests of the younger
coasters at heart, asked that por
tion of Academy street hill be reserved
for the smaller people, the petitioners
setting up that sliding on East street
or Park street involved too much danger
for the younger element. Reservations
requested in the petition were granted
and hereafter those who pursue the win
ter pastime in ward two may slide on
Park and Academy streets.
