CHILDREN TO
HELP DEVELOP PARK
Municipal League Will Make
Plans For Beginning Work
on Kelker Tract

The Municipal League of Steelton
will meet this evening to set a date
for the formal commencement of
the development of the Luther II. Kel-
ker park. Final details of a plan to
have all the school children of the
borough cooperate in the Wrk will
be discussed.
Owing to the inability of Warren
II. Manning, the landscape architect,
who is drawing plans for the park
driveways and walks, to Complete his
Work, the plans will not be submitted
to the league this evening. Mr.. Man
ming has been delays in his work
and according to Charles r. Holton,
secretary OF the league, he will not
likely have the plans completed in
time for next weeks council meeting.
The Municipal League, however, will
set a date this evening for beginning
the park development. 1t is likely
that this date will be late enough to
allow a completion of Mr.. ManninS's
plans and their approval by council.
The Luther Il. Kelker park is a
tract of nearly ten acres just east of
the borough and was presented to the
borough by Mr.. Kelker several years
ago. Mr.. Mannings plan Will be so
drawn that eventually the kclker
park and a tract of land near the res
ervoir may both be Joined by drives
and this parkway connected with Har-
risburg's park system by driveway
near the poorhouse lane.

For several months Commissioner
Taylor has been negotiating with the
company and the Planning Commits
sion to-day took up the matter and in
support of Mr.. Taylor's action pre-
pared formal communication on the
subject President h. S. Herman, OF

The commission approved the ordi-
nances providing for the taking over
of the Enders. PaXtang and Dull tracts
and the recently laid out F.. B. Mitchell
tract, at the entrance to Reservoir
at Twenty-first and Market streets. A
slight change was advocated whereby
the building of dwellings on a twenty
tive-foot-wide street is suggested as
inadvisable.
Beginning tomorrow the engineer
ing corps of the park department will
stake out the three-mile stretch of
roadway from Cameron parkway to
the Reservoir. Bids for this construc-
ton will not be asked for, however,
until the proposed roadway is ap-
proved by Warren II. Manning, the
park architectural expert.
