The failure of the city to fulfill. its part of the contract is to mean the forfeit of the $500 paid down. The committee is already at work making the collections on the sub scriptions for the $5,000 first pay ment, and there is no question but that the city will, have the cash on hand to pay the balance of $4,500 when the owners are ready to turn over the deeds. The transfer of th property will require action in the probate court, since there are minor heirs. Their interests are in the hands of the court, and it will be necessary to advertise their interests in the tract for sale, and have them bought in by the other heirs. Then the adult owners can give a deed te the land. The representatives of the owners have assured the committee the park board, and the city officials that they will be able to put through the necessary proceedings and give a good title to the land in 40 days luese steps will be taken at once.

The bill of the Rock Island Nation al bank for $1,473.65 for interest on overdraft was allowed.
