Treasurer John E. Fry Sub. mits Report in Answer to Inquiries from Citizens

Tn the Review of yesterday there is an inquiry, signed Communicated" in regard to funds handled by the present Playground Committee. The committee would respectfully refer the enquirer to two statements al. ready rendered through the Review that answer quite fully the questions raised. In the issue cf last Oct. 2G full statement of all funds received to that date was given mention even being made of the amounts received at each of the Copper Queen shafts. At that time $1,943.50 had been re- ceived. almost the entire amount com ing from the miners employed by the Copper Queen company. In the issue of Jan. {, an article appeared stating what the committee had d-ne up to- that time with funds received and also setting forth plans agreed upon for the equipment of the other school grounds of the Warren District. Ac- knowledgement was made that stuff. cient funds were in hand for this en. larged playground program and state ment was made that a complete ac. counting would be made when the final plans of the committee had been carried out. To these two account. ings of funds received then the com. mittee would refer all who desire to know what has already been done.
 Since the first article was pub. | lished the committee has received ' c-..1.,.. ss.o.. n. p''.~a-' cornar Queen General cffice and r. Julif amounting to s6l25. together with the following checxs--from the Lad ! ies of the Maccabees s25.00: from the Commercial Club Playground 1 Committee-b balancd after payment of bills. s65.31 from proceeds of the l Giants-White Sox baseball game. s27.- | r5. Making SiS241 received since the last accounting. or grand total received to date of s2125.9l. The con. trihution from the ElSs is to be turned over during the month of Feb. ruary. Because all bills have not yet been received for work etc. done in connection with the present play grounds the committee finds it i'm. possible to fully state what expense there has been to the present time. The equipment already in use cost S6S6,SS and the transportation of the
 same. freight. hauling, etc. cost sl22.52; making a total actual expend- iture up to the present of sS09.40
 leaving balance on hand of si316.51
 against which there is bill for lab. or etc, for installing the present equipment. The material alrea sy ord. cred for tte remaining school grounds of the district will cost, exclusive of
 freieht. piping. labor etc. about s65O
 The committee has been able to save
 70 per cent on the cost of it's mater.
 ial through one of Bisbees institu. tions.
 The committee much appreciates the interest shown in the Plavground
 movement and desires the coopera
 ton of all in making the movement . the greatest possible success. Ii |, would suggest 10 all such interested
 inquirers as Communicated" that
 they secure copies of the Review ol dates above mentioned and that they keep this present article for refer ence. It would also urge that tho
 rules governing the use of the play
 grounds, as published in the Review
