The purchase of an athletic field for the young people of this section Is seriously being considered at this time by civic organizations, in the hope that the field can be secured and equipped by the opening of the school next season For some time the civic clubs have discussed the purchase of suitable site for all athletic field, aud at one time it was suggested that funds be raised by the means of a bond issue to be Qoated at the time money was raised to complete the High School on sec ond avenue.
 This method would be impracti- cable now, 1t is felt, as the election for the approval of these bonds al- ready has been called. However, the movement to have the field ready by the time the new school building is finished has been revived and it is thought that several clubs will CO., operate to put the purchase over.
 The young people of Besscmer have no athletic field and for many years have used the property of the corpo- rations of the district for their ath- letic events. Their faVorite ground the rolling mill field Is the property of the T. c. l. company and is not conveniently located to attract large attendances it is claimed. The other available field is 1t Muscoda, con SldefaDie distance rom tue GUY
 Several business men have adVoca- ted the purchase of q site near the high school on Second avenue. The Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land com pany has offered large acreage in this section to the city at most reasonable figure. and many pro pose that part of this tract, adjoin- ing the school, be used.
 The high school building will bs ready for occupancy next September and promoters of the purchase of a field are urging that the field h" ready forf dedication with the school building.
