PUBLIC ASKED TO GIVE BOARD PARTY OPINIONS Bookwalter Says Selfish Interests Block Municipal Needs. A plea that citizens be more prolific in their expressions of approval or disapproval of park and playground acquisition and building projects proposed by the board of park commissioners, was made at the weekly meeting yesterday afternoon by Charles A. Bookwalter, president. Pointing out certain selfish Influences always are at work to block worthy park enterprises, he begged for the cultivation of a broad vision of the city’s park needs, such as would waive petty questions for the sake of future good. Many of the things planned during tho Bookwalter administration more than a dozen years ago have come to pass, he pointed out Some acquisitions which the Bookwalter regime was prevented from carrying through, later were made at much higher cost, he asserted. Mr. Bookwalter dwelt at considerable length upon the attempt to purchase the present site of St. Vincent s Hospital. He said the park board had an option on the land for $45,000, figuring it would be an ideal spot for a playground or small park. H. H. Tall, assistant superintendent of parks, said the site would be peculiarly valuable for thfl purpose today. Mr. Bookwalter said the Indianapolis News prevented the purchase and tho sisters bought it for the same price the city could have had it. Later the city, in constructing Fall Creek boulevard, had to pay the sisters $33,000 for about oneeighth of the whole property which it originally could have had for $43,000, the president s< ated. Citing another instance where certain persons boosted the price of land the park commissioners wished to buy for boulevard purposes, Mr. Bookwalter said: DECLARES CITY HAS BEEN “HELD CP.” “We bad to pay some of these publicspirited citizens—who belong to ‘committees of 100‘ and such—s6so for thirtyfoot lots. This sort of thing has cost the people of Indianapolis about $2,000,000 up to this time.” The board adopted a declaratory resolution for the acquisition of approximately forty acres in Golden Hill, between Northwestern avenue and the canal, north of Thirty-Fourth street, for park purposes. Mr. Bookwalter said he desires particularly there should be expressions from citizens on this project, before the board takes final action. Appraisers will fix the price to be paid by the city. The board has received several letters for and against the project. A request of Irvington citizens six shower baths be installed in the Disette mansion for the benefit of golfers on the new nine-hole course on the recently purchased Disette property was turned down. “I’m opposed to making a crazy quilt out of that fine house," said Mr. Bookwalter. The board already has decided to buy a quantity of porch furniture, to fit up part of the house. “I play golf, but I have to take my bath at home,” commented Mr. Bookwaiter. Deciding residence properties would be damaged, the board refused to approve a building permit for the erection of a factory tuilding on the rear of a lot of 2710 North Capitol avenue. This came j within the board’s jurisdiction because the site is within 500 feet of Fall Creek boulevard. “Our first duty is to protect citizens in their homes,” said the president. The board took under consideration a request of Mrs. Henrietta Ellinwood. president of the Mothers' Aid Society, the organization be permitted to use the Christatnore Settlement house as a base for its work among negro mothers in the Douglass Park neighborhood.
