Tenth street, it was his understanding
that the sewer wag to come in from

were changed and the sewer was put

TO .Olt I.ANbl AGH. j
Commissioner Jonas Bear introduced i
a resolution urging that the park com-
mlssioners stop the use of vicious and i
obscene language used at Reservoir I

ed it the park commissioners had any
control over . the park in question,
claiming that the work they did there
was gratis to the city, and large"! j
a matter of accommodation. Follow.!
ing the discussion. Commissioner Bear
withdrew the resolution, acting on the
suggestion of Commissioner Rudgren
that the park commissioners be oon
sulted about the matter without any
official action by Che council.
"It Is not that I am opposed to Sun
day ball games," declared Commission
er Bear, "but I am opposed to the use
of vulgar and indecent language and
think some action ought to be taken
at once to protect the property own
ers in. the vicinity of the park from
rowdy and unbecoming conduct on the
part of those playing ball there."
