 Ordinance Is Questioned. Councilman o. F. Curtis offered several criticisms on the above pro- posed health ordinances and moved that they be sent back to the health board and ordinance committees that they might be rewritten and arranged in better shape. The motion was car ried and incidentally Alderman Mo-
 Cabe said he favored $50 as a mini mum fine and would like $15O stated as a maximum fine.
 Later pr. T. E. Reeks arrived and explained that the errors noted were merely typographical errors upon cor rectioins being made, the proposed or dinance was passed. Dr. Reeks ex-
 plained that the slaughter house rules have not yet been passed by the health board so no action was taken on them.
 Will Buy Park Lands. ". F. Brooks, representing the spe- cial park extension committee, pre- sented a lengthy report in which he
 referred to the resolution passed at i a special meeting on October 1, 1913,
 calling for the appropriation of S50,. 900 for the purchase of a north end and a south end park As contained in the report of MT.

I. filling of Kensington in the southern part of the city by paying SAYS an acre, totalling s11,615.25. To get this land however, the city must build a road to meet the end of a
 future street running east from Ken sington street over MT. filings land which lies between the land he would convey and Kensington street The
 city would also have to provide for i sewage disposed for these lots and the
 city would also have to be liable for any judgment and costs in the suit l now pending in the courts between l filling and Kinder in the event of a l decision adverse to filling. Another 1 term would be that the city make payment and have liens released 1 from the Kensington street property l included in the transfer and that the 1 city likewise pay filling $125 in set l clement of his suit for the pollution 1 of Shuttle Meadow brook.

 leaving s1O,134.75 to be expended on l the park
 MT. Brooks also reported that the
 American Hardware corporation owns 1 one and one-ha1f acres of desirable 1 park land in this section which it will 1 give to the city provided the city 1 agrees that the corporation may at ! any time dam the brook and store and
 pump water This would not be done i unless the pumping station at the foot of Arch street becomes unavail-
 able. MT. Brooks rema rked that the
 corporation pumps 5O0,0OO gallons of
 water each day. Alderman Anderson
 moved that the park committee be
 empowered to acquire the properties
 in question according to the terms : cred to execute. all necessary instru-
 ments.
