CENTRAL PARK

The meeting at the school building Fri
 day evening, held under the auspices of the Central Park Civic league, was well attended. Commissioners Barber ard Weatherly spoke briefly and convincingly on the proposed bond issue, showing that the principal opposition to the bonds is to be found among those who do not un- derstand the present situation aud the meaning of the plan about to be placed before the people. They showed that the condition of the city is the result of solne- ones error, probably, sincere officials who did their duties as pest they saw them. But our duty is now to remedy this condition as best we can, in the most logical way, they said. That municipal bonds represent loans at the lowest rate possible to the city was the gist of their argument for the plan.
