PARK PLJ

CARRIED

Iff

At an Irr.rortant mtinsc of th prk board of Eat Chicago held yesterday afternoon nt the city hall, stops wre taken to put through th park rrojeet ax oriKinaHy planned tor that city, nntw ithRtandinfc the fact that the etate tax rommimtfln cut down the Send i$su J'. 5.000. When this project was started !t was estimated that it would require 1140.100 to purchase ths property that waa desired fr park purposes. This estimate was hasr-d upon valuations plef(j by a competent committee up on definite parcels of land The state tax commission. which nuit approve all proposed bond issues cut down the amount to J!23.'ViO. Th'.s

which could be spent for park purposes so interfered with the or.gina! plans that the park board were in a quandary as to Just what modification to make in order to brinir the expenditures down to the proposed limit During the past week or two. rum

ors have been current thit the board proposed to cut square in two the north side park at the Ear,t ChuaRo! end and to increase the acreage pro- j posed at the Indiana Harbor end This

rumor aroused a. sroo.j deal of interest In the proceedings yesterday, especially on the part of those who felt especially interested !n the north sid p.irk which was desired not only for

rark purposes but to forestall the possibihty of a factory locating on the j south shore of the canal, thus dprc-i natlni the value of the north sid res- i Ulence district. i At the meeting: a communication : was rpad from the Indiana Harbor ' Civic Club railing- attention to the; r.eej of lartter park acreage at that ; end of the city and to the fact th the assessable valuations there were; in ex.-ess of the valuations at the E Chicago end and that therefore the Harbor residents would pa.y more than ( fifty percent of the cost of park plop- j erty and should receive pro rata consideration. I A delegation was present from the j chamber c commerce and from the

j north sid residence disltict in order

If possible. In consequence the rark board found itself between two fires and it was apparent that in order to provide satisfaction to everybody the original project would have to be carried out if possible. Controller J. K. Reppa came to the rescue with the Buejrestion that the deficit caused by the reduction of the amount of the bond issue be met by the transfr of $15,A0ft to HS.nrtO from general fund to the park fund, the amount to bt retunded in one year's time. This was the action that finally prevailed subject to th? approval of th common council who would have to pass an ordinance making the necessary transfer of funds. The council a' their last meetins? last nitcht passed such an ordinance and the park board now finds the way clear to carry out th original plans of those who promoted th enterprise. This means that 4S acres will be purchased running east and west along the north side of 141st street: 15 acres to enlarge Kosciusko park on the south side; seven acres at Calunv?t, 20 acres in the Washington Park addition at the Harbor. This is rosidered to be one of the most important and progressive measures that could be taken by the city, inasmuch as it will provide adequate park facilities for many years yet to erme.

municipal band concerts in Gary passed its third reading. A suggestion was made that the concerts be started as soon as possible as winter would soon be here. A committee of five. Freebury, Lane, Werber, MacDonald and Spychnlskt. were appointed to take the matter up with the Board of Public Works this morning for the purpose of hiring a band

i as soon as possible.

One of the matters of importance that was expected to corns up before the council was a much-needed raise for the police and firemen of Gary, but no action was taken. It is expct:d that the demand of the. police and firemen uf the city for an Increase in pay will be. granted because with the H C L.. their pay envelopes do not take them very far into the month. It was only tb? other day that one of the firemen was asking one of the. boys on the polio? dc-partmeat if he was going to take a vacation this jear and the officer remarked. "H no. if the car fare to Honolulu and back wasonl thirty cents. I wouldn't have enough to take, the wife and kids to Miller b ach. "

Will There B

e A Coal Famine?

4.

The nation faces not only a serious scarcity of coal this fall, but an actual old-fashioned famine if early buying is not started at once. This is the warning sent out by four different Government bureaus, chief of which is the Fuel Administration. And on top of this warning comes the forecast of an inevitable higher price. Thf Government bureaus which sound the warnings are the United States Fuel Administration, the United States Department of Labor, the United States Administration of Railroads and the United States Geological Survey. The basis upon which these warnings are issued follow: 1. A reduced production and the subsequent shortage in supply when there should be the highest. 2. A shortage in labor which is inevitable.

A shortage in freight cars this fall. A probable higher price for all coals.

5. A probable higher freight rate. "I do not wish in any sense to be an alarmist," said Dr. Henry A. Garfield of the United States Fuel Administration in an interview with The Black Diamond representative, linor am I willing to speak more in the interest of the producer of coal than of the consumer, but I feel bound to say, as I see the situation, we are likely to experience a coal famine in the early fall unless the large users of coal begin buying." "I warn the apartment house owners, the' home dwellers and factory proprietors to buy coal now. In August, or the autumn, it will be too late. A big shortage is coming. Thousands of miners are going back to Europe. Coal production has fallen off considerably and a shortage of many million tons looks probable. My advice to the public is to buy coal right away." (All above reading matter copied from June 7th issue of The Black Diamond.) Don't Wait for Zero Weather Does the public so soon forget the hardships and actual perils of the cold winter of 1917-1918, when there was a coal shortage? BUY YOUR COAL NOW!
