preached to Alderman John j. Mitchell

poses TO transfer TO the city Lee Park

the owners, Is worth {e415O. Tho
the city would receive $4,000 for the
Clarke Springs lot. 1t Is pointed out
moreover, that tho ball park has I'M
provcments which cost originally about
$4,000. and which the city would re-
ceive in the bargain.
Alderman Fuller indicated last night
that he was not at all inclined to favor
the sale of the Clarke Springs prop

1t would be only on the condition that
the company dedicate strip through

poses the Lee Park deal. but has not
