SURVEY MADE BY

The 1921 survey was made on thor

/ The scheme called for acquisition OF
ground adjacent to school buildings in
at least ten places. These have never
been made public because the officials
feared property owners would boost
prices If they knew there was a demand
for the land. 1t was thought wise TO de
veIop Fairgrounds and schoolgr0unds to-
gether because there would be twelve
months use Of the property instead OF

true Of Fairgrounds not next 10 schools.

mayor to be a man who wants to do
what the majority of the people desire.
In directing the cut in the number Of
Fairgrounds we believe he merely has
not been fully informed of the wishes
Of the great majority fthe parents in
the city. We have no doubt he will be
very glad to listen to the facts we de-
sire to present to him and we believe
these facts will be such as to give him
sound basis for revising his views"
Citizens interested in progress Of mu-
nicipal recreation work recalled a sur
vey Of the city made by the park and
recreation departments early in 1921 As
a result Of this work tentative sites for
additional Fairgrounds were picked to
bring the total number to seventy and
provide one within a half mile Of every
child in the city.
Since the recreation department was
given it's separate tax levy of from
10 cents three years ago there has
been steady increases in the number OF
Fairgrounds until now. Last year the
recreation department was graded by
experts in the Bureau of Education at
Washington as the third best in the
country. When the development first
started three years ago there were eigh-
teen Fairgrounds.
In 1920, thirty eight, and during 1921
at one tine more than fifty were In OPP
Grafton. These were culled to eliminate
grounds where attendance did not war
rant the expense. Pay roll records at
the city hall show forty-fOur in opera
ton on Aug. 10 last year. Since this
list was made public it has been learned
grounds also were operated late in the
season at IndiAnola Park and at Mount
and Washington streets. Neither OF
these is on the list for opening this year,
bringing the total known number to be
discontinued to thirteen.

BUYS VIQUESNEY
VAULT PATENTS
Schneider Marble Co. Obtains
Ownership And Control OF
Modern Mausoleum

Through deal just completed the
Schneider Marble company, OF
Americas, comes into complete con-
troll and ownership of the patents and
all other interests Of E. NJ. Viques-
new, local designer, in the Viquesney
Vault Monument said to be the most
modern invention of its kind in ex-
istenec>s aud to hold wonderful posi-
bilities for business development. The
Deal includes transfer of patents,
paraphernalia, designs, cuts, draw
ines and all material pertaining to
the manufacture and sale of the
vault monument.
The vault monument was invented
an designed by Mr. Viquesney and
letters of patent obtained Feb. IL,
1920. 1t is a combination of burial
vault and mausoleum, declared to be
better, stronger, more durable and
more sanitary than the common maui
soleum, and less expensive, being
adapted to a small number of crypts
If desired, even as few as one. Sew
eral have been manufactured and
erected by the Schneider Marble COM
pany here, and several other monu-
nent firms also have built them for
Mr.. Viquesney.
Because of business conditions
which set in shortly after Mr.. vi
quesney obtained his patents, the
industry has developed slowly, and
Later the manufacture of his Dough-
boy monuments and statuettes caus-
ed Mr.. Viquesney to abandon most of
his other interests for the time, and
as result little has been done in
the way of realizing on the vault
monument industry. 1t is the inten-
tion of the Schneider Marble COM
pany to develop the business gradual
ly, expecting in time to make their
yard here the scene of a manufactur-
ing enterprise much larger than it is
at present.
