before the Board Of Water Commits
sioners before long against Special
officer Michael Long, park guard at
Cool Spring Park, who fired several
shots from his revolver while chas-
ing two small boys whom he had
caught sailing small boats in the
reservoir at Tenth and Franklin
streets.
The conduct Of the guard was in
formally discussed at the meeting of
the park board yesterday.
According to tho guard, he con-
sidered the boys were in danger. as
the water is from 1S to 20 feet in
depth and the banks slope. He said
he fired the shots in the air to scare
the boys. and that he did not fire at
them.
1t is expected that formal charges
will be brought before the board at
