COUNCIL TO ASK
DEFINITE TERMS
IN PARK TENDER
Looks With Favor on Offer.
but Wants to Be Ger
tain of Premises

After discussing for an hour the
proposed developments of the Italian
park property which is offered to the
city without cost to be used for A
park, a committee composed of the
city Planning Commission and Com
missioner E. z. Gross. Mayor D. [.
helster and City Engineer NJ. B. Cow
den passed a resolution that Council
should secure. through Francis J..
HaIi' secretary of the Planning Com
mission, definite statement of the
offer.
The resolution stated that as Coun-
Gil seemed to look with favor 1Inon
the acceptance of the 20-acre tract
for park a definite announcement
of the terms and conditions of the
offer was desired.
II was also decided by the general
committee that no report would he
made TO City Council until a defioite
knowledge of the proposed improve
ments. cost and time required for
their completion, is learned. This
can not be done until further word is
secured from the trustees of the Nc
hee-Graham estate.
Doubts Water Supply
CITY Engineer Cowden at the meet
ing TINS morning said he doubted If
suHlclent natural water would be
available to provide the large lake
proposed by the Planning Commis-
sion He suggested that if this could
not be done, the big swamp in the
Italian park district could be filled
and planted with trees and shrub
berry.
widening Of the streets through
the territory in the Fourteenth ward
was discussed also, and Mr.. Cowden
declared that he was heartily in fa-
Vor or the plan to widen Green street
to 12O feet and North Sixth 10 so
teet, so that the upper end of the citv
would have large highways for
travel
IL was estimated that about slO.-
600 to $4,000 damages might result
from widening Green street from
Katherine street to the northern civ
llne' only two houses are now built
within the proposed lines of the
Wldened street. 1t is not believed
that the widening and changing of
the lines of North Sixth street above
Division will cause any conseouentiaI
damages.
Loan May BE Necessary
During the meeting the cost of de-
Veloplng the Italian park property
was mentioned but no definite esti-
mate was made because of the uncer-
tainty about whether it will be pos
slble to provide a lake. That it may
pc necessary to float a loan of from
S25, 900 to $4,000 was suggested bv
Mayor Keister and Commissioner
Gross, both of whom declared thev
favored accepting the park tract
when they would know definitely
what was expected of the city. Plan
ming Commission members declared
that 1t was a wise procedure for the
city to determine this first.

Rumors That Valley
Railways Company Has
Bought River Bridge

Rumors that the Valley Railways
Company has purchased the Walnut
street bridge, now used by its lines,
and Will erect large terminal car
barn at the western end of that
bridge on ground now owned by the
company adjoining the old Church
Keller mansion could not be con-
firmed to-day. For some time the
reports have been in persistent cir
culation.
1t is known that the Valley Rail-
ways Company has been for some
time considering plans having to do
with the development of trolley SER
vice to the West Shore towns which
recently have been growing verv
rapidly. The rebuilding of the
Walnut street bridge would have to
follow or accompany the erection of
the company's proposed terminal
station at Walnut and Second streets
and it would follow that to do this
the company would have to buy the
bridge. Plans for the Walnut street
improvement were held up by the
war.

House Fails in Attempt
to Pass Daylight Saving
Law Over Wilson's Veto
BIZ Associated Press.

Washington, July II. - The
House failed to-day to pass the
agricultural appropriation bill,
with its rider repeating the day
light saving law, over the veto
of President Wilson.
The vote was 249 to 1874, or. %
affirmative votes less than the
required two-thirds majority.
Immediately after Speaker
Gillctt announced the result
amid the applause of supporters
of the daylight saving law, the
bill was referred back to the ag-
riCultural committee, which
will meet probably tomorrow to
report the measure with the re-
peal rider eliminated.
Because of the House action,
the Senate will not have the op-
portunity to attempt passage of
the bill over the Presidents
veto.
The House vote did not divide
along political lines, the pro-
ponents of the repeal being those
representing agricultural dis
tIicts.
