 In connection with the request of the Nathan Hale Community associa- ton for playground at that school. Mt Jackson. said the commission would like to do something there next year, but he did not see how it was possible to do anything this summer
 The commission does not have the money to spend in installing appar- atus this year, he stated. It is hoped before the summer is over to lay out one or two baseball and tnnis courts and possibly a baseball diamond on Willow-B Brook park, but these plans are somewhat undecided as yet. The old house on the Camp school grounds recently accepted by the city, will be tern down, a fence placed around the grounds and these grounds fixed up for a playground.
 s. M. Brewster. the new playground supervisor, is busy preparing a pro- gram for the summer which is ex- pected to be unusually complete. He is conferring with the various direc- tors on the different playgrounds and plans to adapt the program to the
