PARK COMMISSION
 TO RECEIVE BIDS
Plans Special Meeting to Award Golf Course
 Contract

A special session of the park board for the purpose of opening bids on the completion of the golf course will be held July 10, accord ing to an announcement made at yesterdays meeting of the board.
 The club house on the municipal course is nearly completed, reports showed, with the refectory being used daily, bringing in added rev. enue. At the Washington park com munity house the roof has been finished, and much of the heating and plumbing completed. Permis- sion has been granted the Wash ington Park Community Club to hold a fireworks display on the holiday.
 A request for the erection of the grave stones recently discovered at the Mattatuck museum will be con- sidered by the board. The stones were originally from the cemetery which occupied the Library Park site, and it is proposed to place them along the Meadow street side of the park.
 Another request from the Bun hcI Illil <aoSOSlotACAA was to the effect that the board assume a sub-lease of the Bunker Hill park for one year. The lease was recently obtained by the asso- citation from heirs to the McCauley estate. The request was referred to Mayor Frank Hayes.
 In his monthly report, Superin- tendent of Parks Irving H. Harri- son disclosed a balance in the golf course fund of $1,277 for July 1. During the month $2,450 was re- ceived from the Hamilton Park pavilion.

ing the delegation. Other delegates chosen last evening were Past Commander Wallace J. Inglis, act ing EZRA administrator for Wa terbury, Representative Daniel J.. Mahaney and William T. Earring ton of the Waterbury Democrat. AL ternates are Fast Commanders Robert F. Birt, Walter L. Angle, Morris Shapiro and James r. Gill.
 The convention will be August 23, "A and 25, the parade on Sat urday afternoon climaxing the three days program of business and social activities.
 Last year the convention was staged in New London and in 1892 in Waterbury. It is still the general sentiment that the convention held here was the most outstanding suc- cess the state department has wit messed in many years and there is still evidence of rivalry among the various posts of Connecticut to out do Waterbury in hospitality.
 A report of progress was filed last evening in connection with the state field day which the legion drum corps will sponsor here late in August or early in Septem Der. Negotiations are now on with the local park board and with the var ious drum corps of the state.
 Following the regular business meeting last evening the post staged social hour, with members of the Waterbury Veterans council as guests.

Supervisors Climax
 Institute Sessions
Open o=morrow-Bunker Hill Site to Be
 Controlled By Park Department

Concluding sessions of the play ground institute sponsored by the park department in preparation for the opening of the playgrounds were held today at the Hamilton park pavilion.
 Robert K. Murray, of the Nation- al Recreation association, who is conducting the meetings, today in- structed the attending supervisors in storytelling, dramatics, and the organization and conduct of adult activities.
 During the course of training, MT Murray has laid particular em- phasis on the responsibility of the supervisor for the safety of the children. He pointed out that every supervisor assumes responsibility for the condition of the apparatus on the playground,s 50 that the pos sibility of accidents be minimized.
 To give an idea of the legal as- poets of accidents which occur on playgrounds, and the responsibility of the supervisor in the judgment of the law, MT Murrap cited re- cent $10,000 damage suit brought against supervisor in which fa- vorable decision was rendered for the plaintiff.
 Park playgrounds, which include those at Hamilton, Fulton ana Chase parks, will be opened tomor- row, with those in the neighbor- hood group opening Thursday. The Bunker Hill playground will be under city supervision for the first time this year.
 Because of the holiday prenatal clinic at the Chase dispensary will be postponed this week, according to an announcement made at the office of the Visiting Nurses asso- citation today. Meetings at the baby welfare stations at the North end

 Starting Thursday
Paving of Highway From East Main Street to Pine Grove Cemetery Also Planned By City Officials;
 Motorists Are Pleased

Tracks of the now defunct Green Line" which at the pres ent time lie unused on Meriden road, from East Main street to the Pine Grove cemetery, are to be re- moved. This news, welcome, no doubt, to thousands of motorists who use the highway, was issued this morning from the office of Mayor Frank Hayes. Plans to pave the section of the highway now occupied by the rails have been completed, Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly stated.
 The trolley tracks on Meriden road between the two points in- volved have long been a subject of discussion at meetings of the board of aldermen and the board of works. For several years the area between the tracks was a bump. stone-studded space and motorists objected strenuously.
 Line Sold Year Ago
 Finally the Green Line" off, cials and the city fathers" got to- gether and the area in question was covered with tar and stone sur face, which is still in place but not in the best of condition.

Line" sold its franchise to the Cooke Street Lines, Inc, con- cern which operates busses, and the .trolleys' of the Green Line" were discontinued. Since then the trolley tracks have remained in the center of the road and have been trouble to motorists.
 Both sides of Meriden road are paved and have an excellent sur face. However, they allowed only one-way traffic on each side. In other words, cars turning out had to go onto the rough center oc- cupied by the trolley rails and the make-shift tar and crushed stone surface.
 City To Remove Rails
 Superintendent of Streets Thom- as J. Fleming has been ordered to remove the rails, beginning Thurs day. The city will be reimbursed for the rail removing job by the Green Line" Then the city will pave the center of the highway all the way from East Main street to Pine Grove cemetery, where the road joins the cement ri~ht-of- way. This will make Meriden road a better highway to drive along and will eliminate, it is figured, much traffic congestion
