To Imnroye Facllltles

Although the Brooklyn section of the city Is without Q playground of any description and the facilities at the Town Plot location are not suf- flcient enough to accommodate the needs of several hundred children. William J. Derwin, supervisor of recreation has come to the aid of the youngsters with the announce ment that the facilities are to be iTn- proved. When asked in what way he stated that the park department will place c sand box somewhere on the undeveloped grounds.
 The additional sandbox will be Q great relief since at the present time there are i2 swings and Q see-saw available for use by the children of the two sections of the city having the greatest population. The pro. posed sand box will perhaps interest ten or more children and 50 the re. port of Mir. Derwin can be accepted aS one of progress.
 Several days ago 1t was pointed out that during the summer months that the children of the Brooklyn district will have to frequent Wash- ington and Hamilton parks and no doubt walk the distance both ways, therefore 1t might be considered the attitude of the park department that the youngsters will also bcne- it from the additional exercise.
