Plan Playgrounds At Stratton Place Plans Discussed By Property Owners Plans for a playground area at the Stratton Place addition were furthered at a Sunday afternoon meeting held in the residence of Dr. Joe E. Morris, president of the associa:ion Composed of home and lot owners in the development. The site has been tentatively selected by the group as a few acres of land east of the homes and reached by two community I passes. John R. Worthman. ownI er of the land which surrounds the 1 development, has agreed to give the association as much ground as the group wishes to maintain. At first, the area to the west of ; the houses in the area just southI east of the Monroe street bridge was considered, but after considerable investigation by the parents, it was believed the nearness to the St. Mary s river would not make it as safe for the smaller . children.. The association also made plans | to bring city water to. the new playground site. Several types of playground equipment for children as well as some recreational facilities for the adults are planned at the new grounds. The association, by a close vote, rejected an offer made by a carnival to pay into the playground fund for use of the ground formerly knows as the Schmitt field. Last year the association went on record as opposed to carnivals at the site. However, the offer of payment to the playground fund . resulted in a re-consideration. I Plans for lighting the streets were discussed and a committee lis now selecting sites for pole I lights which will be erected this i , summer.
