sewer project objections. Objections
TO the project may be filed during the
Il days intervening.
On Feb. 5 a hearing was held and

Much OF the opposition shown at the
time was due to the fact that the ord
nance covering the subject required
payment of the assessments in five
years. but a change was made in the
ordinance since that time. extending
the period to 10 years. Therefore, d
reassessment was occasioned and the

Legal Difficulties in Way of I'm
provement as Public
Playground.
BOND ISSUE NECESSARY
Have Not Yet Found Way to Charge
Admission to Any Games Which
Are Played There.

Unforeseen legal difficulties will
temporarily delay plans of the Greater
Moline committee in the Improvement
and extension of Browning field for
use as public Fairgrounds, and may,
perhaps, result in the ultimate aban-
donment of the entire project This
information developed at the meeting
of the committee at noon today.
Attorney Shallberg, who was sent to
Chicago TO interview Wood & Oakley,
bonding attorneys. reported that the
state laws require that a project of
this nature be submitted to a vote of
the people. Consequently the Gripp
tract adjoining Browning field cannot
be annexed as part of the playground
without permission of the voters.
The Chicago attorneys were also of
the opinion that the proposed plan of
forming a stock company to finance
the improvements would be equiva-
lent to a bond issue and Illegal with
out the issue being voted on.
Suggest Vote April 81.
Suggestion is offered that a bond is
sue of $4,000, for the purpose of i'm
proving the grounds and purchasing
the Gripp property, be placed on the
ballot at the city election April q,
when bond of $4,000 for undermining
the fire department is to come before
the people.
The question arose as to the legal
right of the city to lease the park to
individuals. Attorney Shallberg said
the city might permit the use of the
park for individuals, but that no ad
mission could be charged. \ commit
tee in charge of this matter is work
ing TO overcome these several Difficult
ties and expects to have more favor
