one of the real problems in this city
is providing proper facilities for the
chiidrens play, especially during IN"
summer when they do no, attend
school and are in the vicinity OF their
homes,
Commissioner Woods stated
Tho opening OF 100 to 15o play
streets will greatly relieve the s'tua'
ton, especially IN the tenement sec o.
tions where park space is so limited.
That play 10 necessary to tho child goes
without saying and that it is . means
for the prevention OF crime and elm
mating the aargster spirit is . rec .
ourixed fact. Any morey or energy
spent in the direction OF wholesome
play for the children is we'll spent
and rishtfui activities Of tho future
citizen. | am hopeful that the next
few years will see rapid strides IN
this direction and that practical
plans may bs developed"
