Smaller Area Considered

Dr. Whaley then requested the mayor to call for an expression re garding the purchase of a smaller area as suggested by Mr. Leo Me CoTmack on the previous Sunday.
 One of the couneilmen suggested that before the proposition of re- dueed area could be intelligently considered 1t would be necessary to know how much reduction there would be in the price.
 Thereupon Mr Gurr addressed the meeting. stating that he had learned during the day of the sug gested reduction in the area of the proposed playfield, and that he had discussed the question with his partner. Mrs. May Gartley, and that they were willing to sell for the sum of s2000 all of the ground owned by them iI the Gartley- Gurr subdivision south of Reid street-consisting Of eleven lots comprising 137 acres in addition to the 30-foot strip which has been set aside for a street through the property.

 Councilman Leo Mccormack on being called upon stated that he did not have much to say except that he saw no need of being in a hurry about deciding on the matter He stated that he would prefer to see the Council lake an option on the proposed site for go days rather than run the risk of making a blunder through failure to give the matter mature thought.
 Other members of the Council had very little 10 say except that some of them voiced the opinion that iDasmuch as the time is com ing when both the public schools Of Wrangell will undoubtedly be in one building it would certainly seem advisable that the playfield should be located adjacent to the new building.

Purchase of Smaller Area Suggested

While returning from the trip ol inspection Councilman Leo McGor- mack stated that he believed that smaller area than had been propos- ed would meet the playfield re- Qairements. and suggested that i might be possible to make con siderable saving in money by pur- chasing from Gartley and Cur only that area which lies south ot Reid street.
 This reduction in area. elimi- hating Lots !. ., and 3 in block E and lots : and in block D, would still leave eleven lots comprising I.37 acres for a playfield in addi ton to the ground set aside for S9-foot strip through the property
 Mrs. Wheeler and Dr. Whalev stated that as a compromise meas sure they would support such a proposition, provided the firm of Gartley x Gurr would make the price proportionately lower.
