BOARD SEEKING RIGHT TO SELL PARK PROPERTY

Hopes to Realize $25,000 ‘From. Parcels Unsuited For Its Purposes.

The Park Board today sought City Council’s approval’ of a plan to sell or lease 40 parcels of unused park property. The plan was advanced yesterlay by Albert H. Giesler, Board vice president, as a means of increasing the department’s revenue. Mr. Giesler estimated: that the total value of the property exceeded $25,000, which, he said, if added to the City’s assessed valuation, would . help reduce the tax rate. Most of the parcels are located in park land along Pleasant Run Parkway. Ask Blanket Authority

Board members decided to ask for blanket authority -to sell the land, instead of |asking separate ordinances for each piece. Mr. Giesler asserted that two one-fourth acre plots fo g the northwest corner of Ellenberger Park were-use-less as park property and should be placed on the tax duplicates. The two plots lie on both sides of Euclid Drive at the intersection of ‘St. Clair St. Another one - half acre plot which could be put to commercial use is located at the Shelby St. entrance to Garfield Park, he said.

Works Board Precedent

Jackiel W. Joseph, Board: president, said that the parcels have become useless ‘as playground or park space and valuable as residential or commercial property because of developments and improvements instituted in the last five years. Euclid Drive, he sadl, which recently was constructed, makes the two one-fourth acre plots at Ellenberger Park valuable as residential property. In taking this action, the Park Board has followed the example set by the Works Board which earlier this year got Council’s approval to sell several acres of land for a total of about $15,000. _—

Sky Limit for Morning Glory

MORNING GLORY vine at the home of Mrs. R. E. McIntire, 1220 York St., has growing pains. Starting its phonomenal growth from a seed the size of a pinhead planted in May, the vine grew faster than the war scare and now extends four feet above the roof of ‘the two-story home. The only artificial aid was a radio aerial. Mrs. McIntire says the vine has so many blue blossoms it would be impossible to count them. She’s been planting morning glory vines for years, but never saw one grow into such giant proportions as this one. The last time she looked it was still growing. Maybe the sky’s the limit.
