Playground Desired.
The fight for playground and park
on the West Side from Q to w street,
Twenty-ninth to Thirtieth, has taken
a definite stand among residents and
property owners of the district. The

grounds that it would be up to them
to pay for the new improvement in
additional taxes. They admitted that
it would prove wonderful boon to
the community.

over for the present because of the
objection of residents of the far West

the park site should be further west
i'll their territory.
