ed out that Dr. Wheeler donated some twenty-five acres to the city for boulevards in return for which he was to receive a boulevard through his property. The city built a $70,000 bridge but failed to carry out the rest of its promise, Hugg said. The ground is bounded by the canal and White Itiver and Capitol Ave. and Washington Blvd. Gustave G. Schmidt, plan commission president, called the meeting with the hope of getting an early decision on the project. Schmidt pointed out that Wheeler has petitioned to plat the. ground in small lots and the plea must be acted/upon immediately. The plan commission is opposed to plating the property into small lots declaring the development would be out of harmony with other north side property and is ideal for a park. Harry Jordan, Indianapolis Water Company engineer, spoke favoring the proposal and cited the fact that it is desirable for the city to control the upper part of a stream through a city. City Engineer Frank C. Lingenfelter said buying of the site for a park would mean saving a vast expenditure for a flood prevention program and sewage disposal system. John E. Milnor, park board president, and Schmidt engaged in a

heated argument over the leasing of city property to Woodstock County Club, a private club. Schmidt declared it was bad management for the city to lease public property to a “white collar” group. “Why they wouldn’t let me in out there,” Schmidt said. The lease which run to 1930 was renewed ten years in 1924. Seven civic club representatives were not given an opportunity to express their sentiments on the proposed park because the park board “had another meeting,” according to Milner.
