the Mutual Aid help had informed him that the reason why work was stopped on the job was because the board of education did not want to have them do any more there.
 Members of the board of educa- ton state that they have no funds that can be used to put the Sey- mour street lot in condition for a playground. They claim tho board would be willing to convey the property to the park depart ment, but it is not likely that the park board has any money that could be used to get 1t in condition for recreation center. so that judging by such information as has been obtained on the matter 1t is doubtful # anything will be done there this year, except, perhaps through the Mutual Aid or the CWA.
 The real point of objection on the part of the residents is that the lot is an eyesore in the neigh borhood. They feel that they are entitled to better treatment from the officials and talk as though they have about made up their minds to bring their case to the attention Of the mayor. At smap outlay they state the lot could be made irto an ideal playground which would be used to good ad- vantage during the summer season. If nothing in this line is to be done they do hope that the refuse on the lot will be removed before the warm weather sets in and the place kept in sanitary condition,
