View Citizens Association was told
las night by Vincent P. Boudren,
who said letter received from
Sibyl Baker, supervisor Of District
Fairgrounds, urged the citizens to
follow the matter through to the
District budget authorities for per-
manent shelter facilities and equip
ment at the playground. The Me-
tropolis View Association, supported

zens' Associations, had protested
that children using the playground
were forced to take shelter in an old
garage in bad weather and termed
conditions :.deplorable."

gutter and curbing on Seventh street

nation received from Capt. H. c.

highways, both sidewalk and steps
would have to be raised If the street
were paved in such a manner as to
conserve the macadam roadway.
Capt. Whitehurst stated, however
that the project has been placed
tentatively on the program for next
year.

Not until the day before the Giant

Injury Risk Is Great.
It's not so much the lack of
secrecy that is worrying Flahertv
as it is the condition of his PLAYERS

due to drills on the rough Fairlawn
field.
