Members Say They viii
Block Pei Measures OF
Mayor Shank - Asserts
He Has Moi Lived Up to
Campaign Promises.
GOLDEN HILL PROJECT
BOND ISSUE APPROVED

OiINSS wv
Hall, Also Located on
North Side.
With two more major park
projects for the north side adj
vanced a step today, several
city councilmen served notice
they would block some of the
pet measures of Mayor Shank
unless something more is done
for the south side.
The conucilmen. led by Otto Ray,
declare Shank has not lived up TO
his far flung campaign pledges OF
four years ago, when he said he was
going to make the south side bios
som like a rose garden.
The situation stood thus:
l. State tax board approved the
S52, 900 bond issue for purchase Of
eighteen acres in Golden Hill.
EmsIey W. johnson, park board
member, said the board may use
land as a picnic ground and not
lease IL to Woodstock Golf Club as
proposed by Mayor Shank.
2. A committee named by Mayor
Shank was reported to have
agreed $4,000 a year would be a
fair annual price for lease Of Lau-
rel Hall estate. four miles north
of the city, for n public park.
3. The committee was reported
10 have agreed that about $1,000
900 would he a pair price for the
city TO pay should IL eventually
decide to buy Laurel Hall.
4. Persons who are fighting the
S52, 900 expenditure for the Golden
Hill property declared they may
seek an injunction to prevent the
city from going ahead with the
purchase.
Three other south side council
members. Hayden w. Buchanan,
John f. King and Theodore Bernd,
according to Ray, are supporting
him in the proposed revolt. And
several members from other sections
Of the city are said to be aroused
at delay in improvements for their
districts.
Tired of Giving
Were tired of giving, giving. Civ.
ing and receiving nothing in return, p"
Ray said, in predicting a number Of
pet administration measures may be
held up by council.
Mayor Shank was a special target
of attack because he had failed to
carry through south side improve
ments he promised in addresses In
that section of the city when he
was accompanied by council men,
bers, according TO Ray.
Among the specific measures
promised, but untitled by the
administration. according to Ray
are the consummation Of track

and the board of works the straight

Tales of Under-Sea
Adventures.

SAN FRANCISCO. July GA ship
had gone down in the Baltic. Pas
sengers and crew had been trapped
as the vessel lunged beneath the
waves. Their bodies were imprisoned.
fathoms down. onthe sandy white
bottom.
II was n small ship, and Nell
Petersen a diver who has explored
the ocean floors OF the seven seas.
was let down TO investigate salvage
possibilities. He found the cabin
door and opened IL.
sunlight. filtoring through from
the waters level and reflected from
the white bottom, showed him n
woman. She was standing erect.
partially clothed. her long hair
streaming as though blown in wind.
Outstretched hands gripped a cabin
rail.
Seemed Alive
IT will never forget my feelings IN
that time" Petersen said in telling
the story here. 1T was as though
she were alive, standing facing me,
eyes open. down there beneath the
surface OF the sea.
II stepped back. on land I would
have fled. The door opened and n
current Of water caught the woman.
sweeping her toward me. braced
against the shock and the dead body
struck me.
There really was nothing strange
about IL but II chilled Inc then--a
woman with open eyes and moving
across the cabin, down there at the
bottom Of the sea-"
Petersen is doing diving Jobs up
and down the coast. lie has been TN
the game" as he calls II, since he was
a youth,
His first adventure was off tho
coast Of Singapore. II was on his
first descent, too. He was attacked
by fourteen.foot shark.
Pulled Knife
"I pulled my knife as he came up
he said. in telling about II. "As he
rolled for the plunge and bite I
stuck my knife in his throat. My
arm was between his jaws.
snatched II out. but he got part OF
my thumb. / saw him roll over
and die.
Now, in foreign waters carry
a hammer One tap on the nose and
the shark goes away. That's better
than standing up to item with n
knife"
How about the octopus? Petersen
once was in Arabian waters, down
forty feet In the cabin OF n ship,
in inky blackness. He CROPPED from
one side OF the room TO the other.
Suddenly an arm eneircled him. IL
was just a gentle pressure. Then
there were others, until legs and an
arm were held in the clutch Of the
monster.
He had been trapped in the
vessel and probably was mad with
hunger" Petersen said. IS.
One arm was partly free. Withe
his knife. Petersen cut and cut. The
octopus had frightened its pressure.
But the diver dashed out, cutting
first one tentacle and then another.
The creature fought in its death
agony, but finally Petersen won.
They hauled him to the surface. ~.
