EASTLAKE PARK MAY bE MADE
 REAL RESORT

Commissioner o. T. Richey at yes- terday mornings session of the city commission took the initiative in a movement looking to the improvement of Eastlake Park by the installation of swimming pool, a dance hall and other amusements, by securing the city manager to have prepared plans and specifications for the proposed work. That the real purpose of main- taining a public park will be best served by the installation of these improvements, which might after wards be leased, was the opinion of MT Richey in advocating the work.
 The fact that Riverside Park may be opened shortly would have little, if any, bearing on the plan to make Eastlake Park real pleasure resort, said MT. Richey. Properly improved and properly handled it would be the popular spot of the city.

It was ordered that these recommendations be incor- porated in the traffic ordinance now being formulated:

 MT Richey called the attention of the commission to the fact that the | city accounts had not been audited by the previous city auditor up to the day of his retirement and that the city cannot well hold the present auditor responsible for the correct ness of these accounts. The com mission directed that the United States Fidelity X Casualty company be notified through their agent. J. J. Sweeney, that the city will require the bonding company to have the i audit completed in accordance with the fond furnished the city.
