PARK BOARD IS LIKELY TARGET OF DUVALL FIRE Muttering and Grumbling at City Hall Indicates Shake-up Looms. The park board which on several occasions refused to fall in line with Duvall administration policies may be the target of a shake-up in the next few days. Report that Mayor Duvall will make a change was strengthened by disagreement of members at the Thursday meeting. No indications are made as to w'nat members will be removed. . . . . John E. Milnor, president, Adolph G. Emhardt and M. E. Foley, denied they had been asked to resign. They have no thought of quitting they said. The fourth member, Mrs. J. D. Hoss, could not be reached. Many Men Fired Action of R. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks, in removing a number of workmen from the pay roll caused the Thursday dissension. Construction in several city parks has been stopped by the cut. Emhardt and Mrs. Ross criticised the superintendent’s action. It was suggested that more watchmen be taken from the pay roll instead of laborers. "About a dozen men were fired this week. There is an average of ten or twelve each week, and at one time about forty lost their jobs,” Emhardt said. Jarvis cut the force because of lack of budget appropnation. . , Dissension occurred a week ago, when M. E. Foley insisted that contract for resurfacing Meridian St. between Fall Creek and ThirtyEighth St. be awarded to the low bidder. Previous to that the mayor is understood to have requested that Meridian St. be turned over to the board of works and abandoned as a boulevard. Committee Named A committee has been appointed to study extension of the present boulevard system. The committee: Milnor, Jarvis, A. W. Brayton Jr., landscape architect, and J. E. Perry, park engineer., Capitol City Coal Company submitted the low bid to supply the winter coal supply Thursday. The price was $4.70 a ton for about 750 tons. Bids were received on improvement of Pleasant Run South Dr. between Meridian St. and Madison Ave. The engineer's estimate was $24,500.

Michael I Could Learn How From Hoosier Boys

‘lf I Were King,’ Says One, M Wouldn’t Let Law Kill People.’ BY HELEN ASHCRAFT “The king's in the counting-house Counting out his money— ’’ 'And if that same voracious monarch should come out of fable land and consult the boys at Willard Park, E. Washington St., he could find out how to use it.

Jugt anything?” “Os course,” was the answer. “Kings can have anything.” “Well, I’d have a lot of gold and help the poor,” he said. “Then I could get my girl back. Some guy took her away from me ’cause he could buy her more things. But I’d rule the country right and not kill anybody—just leave them in jail a little while.” Million for Mother Francis Reidy, 9. of 14 N. Randolph, thought of his mother among other kingly whims. “I’d give my mother a million dollars,” he said looking bravely in the direction of the coal chute where some locomotives were puffing back and forth. “See that railroad over there? I’d own it and support her all her life. And I wouldn't get married either.” “Why wouldn’t you?” he was asked. “Because I saw in the movies that queens were a pain! Some even try to kill the kings.” “If I were a king I’d be a race driver and have a pony, a bicycle, a buggy, and a billy goat.” said Jack Melvin Patton, 7, of 249 S.

I know one thing; I wouldn’t let the law kill people.” And that is probably the main piece of advice these erstwhile “kings” would put in the ears of Michael of Rumania.—not to let the "law kill people.”
