PLAYGROUND SITE BE INC CONSIDERED
 FUR USE OF CITY
Fourteen Acres Near Mus coda May Be Purchased
 By BeSSemer Council
BESSEMER BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Bessemer. Ala. Aug. 25 ]

City officials are contemplating the purchase of 14 acres adjoining the Tennessee Coal and Iron company's property at Muscoda for the estab- lishment of a park and athletic field. This property is a part of the Hall estate and is well adapted for the purposes, being near the city and of ample space to provide number of attractive park features. It is un- derstood that the property can be purchased reasonably and officials of the board of education and the Cham Der of Commerce have joined in ask ing the city fathers to buy the place.
 It is understood that the Tennessee Coal and Iron company is consider ing a joint program of development of their recreation grounds with the city. Their property adjoins the Hall place and it is stated that the com pany is favorably inclined toward a joint program of recreation and en- tertainment.
 Officials of the board of educa- ton are interested in acquiring this property for recreational purposes. At present there is no athletic field provided for the children of the city. By courtesy of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company the rolling mill field has been used for many years, but with steady development in that sec tion it will be only matter of short time, it is thought, until this place will be closed.
 In addition to an athletic field the proposed park, is to be used for community gathering place. The city does not own large park and the property suggested would be large enough for several purposes. It is only few blocks from the new high school building.
 
 TO PRESENT PLAY
 Much interest has been taken in the presentation of the home talent play Putting It Over,' which will be given at the high school audi torium Thursday and Friday eve ming. The show will be given under the auspices of the Bessemer Order of Eastern star and the advance sale of tickets has been large.
 Howard Bailey and Gertrude Strauss will play the leads, Bailey doubling in two characters. Other members of the cast are; James Braley. Amy Bryant, Phyllis Waites, Hoyt Brice, Deacon Crane and Paul Sullivan. Miss Linnie Mae Lipscomb is directing the play and the music will be furnished by Miss Lucille Lytle's orchestra. Miss Ethel Will liamson will play violin solo, while Miss Kathrine Maddox will sing.
 The funds realized from the play will be used by the order to promote charitable enterprises.
