The civic parks committee will ask the city council for authority to | | take full charge and control of the | civic playgrounds to be established in Victoria and Frontenac parks. This was decided upon at a meet- ing of the parks committee held on | Thursday afternoon and the recom- mendation will go before the coun- cil at its meeting next week. When | the necessary authority is given the committee to take complete control, then the committee will appoint supervisors and carry out the pro- gramme for the summer. The ques- tion of playgrounds was discussed at some| length and it was the feeling of the members of the committee that they should be given the pow- er to hire their own help and man- age the playgrounds if the enterprise { Is to be a success, and as the board [is very anxious to make the play- grounds a success, the action taken was regarded as in the best inter- ests of the undertaking. As a result of the advertisement | placed in the newspapers, a score or more applications were received for the position of male and femala suervisors and the selection will be made by the committee just as soon as the necessary authority has been 'granted by the council. Ald. Richardson was in favor of referring the question of the play- grounds back to the Board of Educa- and moved to this effect, but the motion was lost, his colleagues be- ing of the opinion that as the coun- cil had decided to take over the playgrounds, the committee seek the authority from the council to go ahead and make all the necessary arrangements and do the very best with the money on hand. It will be recalled that the Board of Education handed over a grant of $1,000 and the equipment which has been in use by the board for the playgrounds. The committee received a letter from W. G. Bailey, secretary of the Separate school board, asking that a Separate school supporter be ap- pointed as ome of the supervisors. It is understood that the separate school board will be asked to pay a share in the cost of the upkeep of the playgrounds. Capt. H. E. Law, who has had considerable experience in conduct- ing playgrounds, met the com mit tee and a conference was held in regand to the best methods for carrying on. Ald. Price and Ald. William Hold- eT recently made an inspection of the equipment the Board of Educa- tion handed over to the city council, for the operation of the playgrounds, Everything 1s in good condition, but 'the exper:e in having it carted to the parks and placed in position will be quite an item. The chairman, Ald. Kent, presided ar the meeting and the other mem- bers present were Alds. J. B. Hold- er, Price, Driscoll, William Holder, Laturney and Richardson. -------------------- PICTURES _ PRESENTED {By the 1.O.D.E. to the City 8chools--Empire Day Ceremonies.

The Neighbors Worked Hard to Save Adjacent Building, A fire, which threatened to destroy all the buildings on the farm of Wwil- liam J, McDougall, near Elphin, took' place on Wednesday afternoon. While the flue was burning, fire started on the roof of the kitchen. D. J. Nisbet, a neighbor, noticed the fire and at once telephoned a call for help. All the contents with the exception of the cream separator, several trunks and a stove were saved, but the house and a small building, close by, were completely destroyed. Owing to the high wind much dif- ficulty was experienced in saving the barn, The roof caught fire many times but by the use of fire extin- Nn, The Leading Undertaker guishers and water, hauled up by means of a rope, it was put out be- fore making any headway.
