WHAT STEP NEXT
AS TO PARK? IS
GENERA QUERY
People Anxious TO Know Procedure
Now That Vote Taken on Pur-
chase Of Land; No Answer
Available Today

.'What is the next step to be taken
on the park bond matter?'
This was the question that was
most frequently asked on the
streets this morning. It was invari-
ably accompanied by another ques-
tion, thusly: when is that step to
be taken?"
From the best information avail
able today, the next step will come
in meeting of the city council. II
was not made clear, however, when
that meeting would be called. One
member of the city council stated
that the meeting probably would be
called today. The mayor, this morn
ing stated that he had no knowledge
of melting Of the council for to-
day.
Mayor Durbn declared that the
next procedure probably should be
the submission of proposition to
Tie mayor and city council for the
purchase of $4,000 worth of park
bonds at par. This could be accom-
plished, he stated, with proposition
from the owners of the land to sell
the 40 acres in question at the stipu-
lifted price. A third proposition from
the Grady County Park association,
specifying its proposition to the
mayor and city council with refer
ence to the improvements of that
portion of the 40 acres to be used,
according Ito the proposals, for fair
grounds and athletic field, should be
made, the mayor indicated.
1t was impossible to learn this
morning when any of this proposed
action would be taken. 1t was plainly
evident, however, from opinions ex-
pressed freely and repeatedly, that
the people having expressed their
wishes, the time is now ripe to take
some final action on the proposition
