both houses will onven with decreas-

ened coal strike late this week, also
promises to receive much attention in
congress this week. The strike of
bituminous coal miners will come up
for early discussion on the pending
resolution OF Senator Thomas, demo

LEAGUE ISLAND PARK
SOIL TO Be STUDIED
Failure of Trees to Thrive Leads
to Appointment of Experts
to Study Ground
CITY SEIZURE INDICATED

The failure Of trees planted in League
Island Park to thrive properly has LED
to the appointment Of a committee Of
engineers to study top soil and other
ground conditions on the land improved
by Senator Ware under city contracts.
Director Datesman. Of the Depart
ment Of Public Works, is evidentally
not satisfied with the contractors ef-
forts as landscape gardener. as he has
asked Chief Albright. of Surveys Chief
Dunlap. of Highways, and Charles F.
Puff, Jr.. a city engineer, to make per
sonal inspections and report on the
soil making up the Ware fills.
Some time ago. Andrew L. O'Connell,
a tree planter. employed on the work.
complained that trees would not thrive
He complained that ashes, broken
bricks, cans and other refuse formed
moor soil for tree growth. Following
this top soil of a better character was
put in sections where tree planting was
under way. Conditions. however. are
claimed not to be satisfactory.
The investigation at this time is said
to have been instigated because the
city is about to physically take pos
session of League Island Park on which
several millions of dollars have been
expended. A bill pending authorizes
the appointment of a superintendent
and caretakers.
The complaint is made that top soil
was put on too thick in some places and
too thin in others. Senator Ware is
said to have explained that he pur-
chased and delivered top soil and that
II was spread by direction of city in
spectors.
