WANT KELKER PARK
TRACK DEVELOPED
Municipal League Will Ask For
Action at Council Meeting
Tonight

Steelton's council at it's meeting this
from the Municipal League to take
steps to develop the Luther r. Kelker
Park, east of the borough.
Z. 5. Davis. chairman of the park
committee of the league, l.. e. John
son, of the same committee. and A. J.
committee of council, made an inspec-
ton trip over the entire tract, which
contains 91a acres, yesterday. This
evening they will report to councils
how driveways could be laid out at a
small cost and how the park could be
developed into recreation place. 1t
is the plan of the Municipal League to
set aside a day for planting trees in
this tract If council will authorize the
laying OUT of the drives.
Some of the other things that will
come before council this evening is
the garbage collection ordinance.
Some time ago the suggestion was
| made in council that the contract sys-
tenn be used in collecting garbage
here. The matter was held under ad-
visement until permission could be OBJ
tained from the Pennsylvania Steel
Company to use its dump or until
some other dumping place could be
secured. The steel company has given
permission to dump either at the cinder
dump or at the wharf in the West
Side. Further discussion of the pro-
posed changes in the street lighting
! system will probably develop at the
meeting tonight. 1t is not likely that
| the standard system of lighting which
| has been spoken of favorably will be
| adopted at his time OH account of its
cost.
The committee from the Civic Club
which is agitatlng the appointment oil
shade tree commission will not ap-
pear before council this evening. The
committee Is now collecting data on
the subject and expects to be ready TO
take the matter up with council next
month il no action is taken before that
| time.
