BUY DIVIDES ON DISTRIBUTION OF PARKSJENEFITS North, South Siders Declare Other Section Gets More. North side, south side, all around the town, tongues are wagging about which section gets the “break” in the city’s park program. Civic leaders disagree with City Plan Commission President Guatav G. Schmidt on where most money is spent by the park board. Schmidt recently declared at a Chamber of Commerce meeting that of $700,000 of the park board’s funds $43,000 was spent last year on the north side and the remainder “went to the south siders.” Schmidt divides the city in four sections, bounded by the four avenues. He speaks of the district north of Washington St., between Indiana and Massachusetts Ave., as the north side. North Side Taxed More North side residents pay 75 per cent of the city’s taxes and are without a park,' says Schmidt, explaining many wealthy owners of south side industries live in that section. John F. White, Federation of Civic Clubs president and south side leader, laughed at Schmidt’s charge that “the south siders have such a powerful civic organization that they get everything they ask fpr.” “It would be hard to make the south side believe that.

Glasses Break By Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., June 28 The Glasses are broken. Mrs. Gladys Glass has a divorce from Charles Glass, with whom she carried on a correspondence courtship while hdr first husband was serving a term at the State penal farm, alleged to be a kleptomaniac. Glass, who calls himself a preacher, was cruel, Mrs. Glass alleged. v

ing people who live on the south side are the ones that use parks,” replied White. “It makes a good deal of difference how you figure the boundaries. Riverside, Brookside and numerous smaller parks are north of Washington St., White said. Opinion Different on “Brooks” “It would seem that the north side gets the best end of the bargain, but I have not studied the case,” said H. W. Vedder of the East Thirtieth Street Civic Club. “I think the south side is getting the best break. Although I live north, I am glad to see it,” said L. A.' Lawrence, Fall Creek Civic Club vice president. “If that much was spent on the south side I’d like to know where it went. It certainly was not spent in Finch Park,” said J. Ed Burk, Southeastern Civic Club secretary. “Sure, I think the north side gets the most attention,” said Lewis A. Miller of the McLainsville Improvement League. “It is not a matter for speculation, the records will show huch much was spent for acquisition of land and development in each locality,” said A. L. Portteus of the Brookside Civic Club. -s Compares Size of Parks “Say, we have enough parks to last a thousand years if they would keep ’em up. it looks to me like the north side is getting the best bargain. Show me a south side park of any size besides Garfield. Just look at Riverside and Brookside,” said W. J. Batley, 3007 Hovey St., of the Northeastern Civic League. "I haven’t thought about it, but it looks as if the south gets the best deal, considering the amount of taxes paid,” believed Edward O. Snethen, former Federation president. “I think Garfield and the other smaller parks pretty well care for' the south side,” Snethen said. White commended Schmidt’s attack on the city for leasing Woodstock Club, acquired for park purposes, to a private organization. “Say, a lot of high hatters belong out there, and they won’t even let me in,” Schmidt said.
