An appropriation of from $1,000 to
$500 will probably be made to car
ry on public Fairgrounds in this city
next year. A majority of members
of the Board of Aldermen have ex-
pressed themselves as being In favor
of them and intimate that an appro-
priation is forthcoming. Some of the
city fathers have let it be known
that the appropriation might be as
low as $500, but indications are that
the allotment for the purpose will be
at least $1,000. There appears to be
strong sentiment in favor Of play
grounds. The organizations which

ans Club of this city, &~

day to prove that public Fairgrounds
had been popular and have proven a
