WASHINGTON PARK
 COMMUNITY CLUB
Held Largely Attended Meeting Last Night in Mulcahy School

Attorney Thomas F. Moore of the park board, and a group @of singers from the Pearl Street Neighborhood House were the principal attraction at the meet ing of the Washington Park Com munity club last night. In the -ab- sence of the president, William F. Kelly, who was reported on the sick list, Vice. President Joseph Grimes presided.
 Mir Moore spoke on the city parks, with special reference to Washington park, which he said Is the only one of the larger city parks which was bought and paid for by the city. The others, Hamilton, Chase, and Fulton, were donated and improved, to a large extent at the expense of the donors. Owing to lack of funds, Mir Moore said, the development of Washington park progressed rather slowly, but even so he claimed the city has done 8 good deal there the past few years. He referred to the construction of the bathing pool, building walls, tennis courts. and the ball field, which he said is easily the best diamond in Waterbury. Of this he said he had been assured by those who use it. The speaker also touched on the work being done there by the un- employment forces, reminded his hearers of the interest Mayor Hayes has taken in the district, expressed the belief that in time Baldwin street will be extended to South Main street and action may be taken to give 1t boulevard name.
 The part of MT Moore's address that interested his hearers most had reference to the proposed community house. He described the plans for the building, but owing to the condition of the money market he did not think that funds will be available to un- dertake the work until next spring MT Moore paid a high tribute to the work of the club, and said he was pleased to come before the members and talk on the subject which he knows is dear to them, and assured them that so far as he knew, the park board is willing to cooperate with them in every way it possibly can for the better ment. of the community. He be- heved there will be skating in the park this winter.
 The mandolin program by wis., itors from the Pearl Street Neigh borhood House was a rare treat. Those who took part includ- ed Miss Mabel Harvey, Laura skinner, Lorraine Savage, Plum mer Alexander. Arthur Durham, and Theodore Ryder. Among num- bers rendered were "Beethoven's Minuet in G." La Palma" and Home, Sweet Home" Votes of thanks were extended to MT Moore and the musicians.
 On motion of Mrs Henry A. Hayden 1t was voted to send a bouquet to the president, MT Kelly. The chair appointed @ committee consisting of Mrs Hayden, Mrs O'Neill, and Mrs Frazier. The com mittee Is to see that substantial token of esteem is sent to MT Kelly. It was voted to donate $5 to the Salvation Army Christmas fund. The secretary was requested to communicate with the safety board and see what can be done towards putting safety signals at Baldwin and Lounsbury street, where several crashes occurred. one quite recently. No date was fixed for the Christmas tree eXer- cises, but it was stated that it will be held, and judging by the re- port of the committee every boy and girl in the community will be the recipient of bag of candy from Santa Claus.
