ARMY RECEIVES
NO AERO ADVICE

Army officials at headquarters toda,
stated that they knew nothing of pur-
ported "advices" said to have been
received there yesterday morning re
garding joint army and navy aVia-
ton plant at Fort island.
While the general plans for such a
combination have been considered for
some time, as announced last month
by the Star-Bulletin. no official word
has been received at headquarters, il
is said, to lead to the belief that such
an institution would be formed In the
near future.
So doubtful is the situation owing to
the need of machines on the war front,
and because OF the probability thSt
none will be sent for the 9Th Aero
Squadron here for some time, Maj.
John r. Curry has recommended that
transfers to this squadron cease for
the time being.

ECONOMY, A LA MAYOR,

Board of View Expected to Pass
on Extension Planned for
Cobbs Creek Park
OTHER WORKS SHELVED
Many Needed Improvements Killed
in Project That Public Is Scarce
ly Demanding Just Now

There soon will be brought before the
Court OF View the proposition TO assess land
demages in the case OF those property own
ers who are affected by the ordinance signed
by Mayor Smith January 27 TO make an
extension to Cobbs Creek Park. The ordl-
nance is a condemnation proceeding involv.
ing land from the west side OF Daggett
street TO the center lae OF city avenue
and the northeast side of .Seventy-third
street
ordinarily this would not occasion any
comment, but city Hall folk are speCulating
with much curiosity as to how the Mayor
so willingly encouraged this project when
he opposed similar but smaller projects on
the plea that II was unwise to add such
items to the citys bonded Indebtedness.
This Cobbs Creek project will add almost
81 100000 to the citys funded debt, and
that 81 600, o00 will be enough TO keep water
improvements out OF South Philadelphia
or, IL one put 1t in another column, it might
be said that It delays such improvements as
highways. sewers and bridges supposedly
much more desired by the whole municipal
ity than an extension Of Cobbs Creek Park.
In the case of several Fairgrounds, three
particularly the Mayor refused to give his
assent. saying that the addition of their
total cost-about Sl50,000-to the city's
Indebtedness would not he practicable In
light Of other needed improvements. Com
pared with the cost OF the Cobhs Creek Park
extension these playground improvements
would have been trihng.
