in War Work and WeIcom-
ing Veterans

The Philadelphia chapter Of the
Council of National Defense will cease
functioning officially on July 10, when
the organization. which was organized
on August "a. 1918. and which took
charge Of the civilian war activities of
the city. will close its Offices In the
Liberty building and cease to exist as
body.
The city chapter survived its parent
body. the state council. by several
months and acted as clearing house
for all the local societies which had
been engaged In the war work up to
that time. In this way it sought to
co ordinate the wartime activities of
this city. In addition. it played a
large part in the welcoming home of
the returning soldiers after the war had
been won.
Judge J. Willis Martin. of Common
Pleas Court No ). was the president
Of the organization and had a large
part in the welcoming and parade fea-
lures for the returning men of the Iron
and Liberty Divisions.
The activities of the council ranged
from the conservation of food to edu-
cational propaganda.

BUYING PARK LANDS
ON TIME DEFENDED
Commissioner Justice Says Pol,
icy Abandoned at Mayors
Instance Had Advantages

Although Mayor Smith has succeeded
in forcing the Fairmount Park Conn
mission to abandon its method of pur-s
chasing land on the part payment sys-t
tom. some Of the members would like
TO see return to the old custom. This
fact was made plain today by Theodore
Justice. one Of the most active members
Of the commission.
In discussing the Mayors move Mr.,
Justice said:
There are occasions when ] be-
lieve the commission Is amply justi-
fled in the purchase Of land for park
purposes. even though there is not
enough money available to make prompt
payment. There have been times In
the past when the commission has been
able to secure land in this way that
otherwise might have cost an excess
sive sum later on or might have been
lost entirely to the city.
THE action of the commission on
Mayor Smiths motion at Yesterdays
meeting will hold up any further part
payment purchases until further action
is taken We have no more meetings
until early fall, and unless a special
meeting is called further purchases OF
this character will. of course, not be
made. ! have every confidence in the
members OF the committee on land
damages and purchases and do not
believe that the members would recon-
mend uhwise purchases. al land pur :,
chases must be recommended by that
committee. Il includes such men as T.
Dewitt Cuyler. Eli Kirk Price and
William Findlay Brown. q
II believe the city is amply safe
guarded under the old custom, and thea
commissioners can best serve the citi-.
Hens at large By the purchase of land
for park purposes when the opportunitv
presents itself regardless Of the obstsc Gle
of there being insufficient funds at the
time of purchase. ! believe that other.
members of the commission feel Just as
| do about buying land when land a.
available and when it would be for the
best interests of all to take it for uark
purposes.
Inc controversy over park land deals
was raised when Mayor Smith took ex
ception TO the purchase of eleven acresj
OF land near Wissahickon avenue and
Carpenter street. for which S51 900 was.
paid and $4,000 allowed to remain on.
mortgage. The Mayor took the position
that such purchase is not warranted
under present financial conditions and
the warrant has been held up and pay y
mcnt refused on the advice of CITY
Solicitor Connolly. The Mayors mo4
tion that no land be bought without
being paid for promptly was approved
by the commission. although a number. !,
like Mr.. Justice. were not convinced Of.
its wisdom Whether or not the con !,
troversy will be revived in the fall de !.
pends upon the members who believe thu
old custom should be restored. x.
