lowed. The loving cup will be held
for the champion team in next sum-
mer'S league. =

AS playground activities are
drawing to a close for this
season, recreation officials ex-
pressed their appreciation of
The Indianapolis Times play
ground page published each
week for the benefit Of thou
sands of Indianapolis children.
Jesse P. Mcclure, recreation
director said: 81 think The
Times has been a wonderful
help because it has put the
childrens names before the
public by telling the opportu-
mites of our department, it
has helped to increase the at
tendance on city Fairgrounds.
Publicity given games and
sporting events has led to
cleaner and stronger cornpeti-
ton in these fields and want
to thank The Times for its fine
cooperation.
Statistics show that more
children are using the play
grounds each summer. They
are beginning to find more
pleasure under organized rec
reation leaders than in play
ing in the streets. This is re-
ducing traffic accidents among
children"

LEVY REDUCTION
WOULD CURTAIL
WORK IN PARKS
Rumored Budget Lessening
Is DepIored by Walter
Jarvis.

Park improvements will be Ser1-
ously curtailed if the city councils
proposed reduction of the appropri-
alton for public parks and recrea-
ton purposes in the 1880 budget is
carried out, Walter Jarvis, park su-
perintendent, said today.
Park officials asked for an Scent
levy for park and recreation work
in 1880. The mayor and city con-
rtoller recommended a Scent rate
to the council, and now it is ru-
mored that the council will reduce
the levy to So cents.
eff there is a lessening Of the
budget appropriation for public
parks and recreation purposes in
1880 planning in the horticultural
and floral divisions of our parks will
be seriously curtailed," Jarvis said.
No Natural Scenic Spots
Indianapolis unfortunately does
not have natural scenic spots like
those found in many other cities,
hence, in order to keep the beauty
of our parks on par with other cities
in the country, it is necessary to
spend money eon artificial develop
ment of scenic places" Jarvis con-
tinued.
"It is significant that the appro-
priation here for parks always has
been lower than that in many other
cities the size of Indianapolis, yet
Indianapolis park system ranks
among the first"
After a survey of all park in the
country, H. Weir, national repre-
sentative of Fairgrounds and Rec
reation Association, recently termed
the Indianapolis park system as the
most useful in the country.
Among needed Improvements in
the park system here, Jarvis men
toned the need for more beautiful
entrances as urgent. what we need
is more beautiful entrances so that
citizens and visitors to our parks
will admire them for their beauty.
One Park Entrance
eff we had such entrances our
parks would be on par with those
in Minneapolis and Kansas City,
which are considered the best in the
country.
"At present there is only one en-
trance in the city worthy of the
park in which it is located.
This Is the EmmerichSville en-
trance to Riverside park. Present
plans are to erect the next entrance
at the west drive of Riverside park
at BurdsaI boulevard, which proba-
bly, will be a memorial to the late
Thomas Taggart.

 For Alaska

While Alaskans are fed with lot of hotair about pulp and paper mills coming to Alaska in the immediate future, the same companies go on with their building operations in Puget Sound cities.
 Actual construction of a 1O0-ton sulphate pulp mill at South Bend io expected to begin any time ac- Cording to notices sent out from that town. The notice states that plans and specifications for a mill to pro- duce approximately ,OOO tons of sulphate pulp annually are complet- I'd and ready for actual building op- erations. Sale of the increased out ut has been arranged for, and the financing for the larger mill virtual II! completed. |:
 Alaskans still patiently await nos tice from the Cameron's and zeller- hachs that that they are ready to construct their big mills in Alaska. It is suspected by many Alaskans that such notice will not be given un- till all the virgin timber of Alaska is tied up and sold for song to these outfits leaving local sawmills and small timber outfits to struggle Rs best they can on cull timber.
