offered to the borough for park anG
playground purposes by the Right
Rev. Monsignor George Bornemann
of st. Pauls Church. The gift, is
made with certain restrictions. The
plot is to be used for park and play
ground purposes exclusively; also
the borough is to plant trees in some
parts of the plot and improve it. The
agents of the priest have told the
Borough Council that Monsigno1
Bornemann is ready to sign an agree
ment to this effect. AS soon as the
borough starts making the improve
ments, thus showing their good faith
he will hand deed to the borough
A large number of citizens of Yves
Reading are very anxious that the
land be acquired so that the children
of the borough may have safe place
to play. 1t is likely that playground
association will be formed and tina
