To Improve Playgrounds The play-grounds of the Troy and Oxford Avenue schools are to be placed in perfect condition by the Board of Education as soon as the weather permits. The pupils of the two schools have not had full use from their play-grounds during the winter months because of the poor con dition of the ground, caused by the thaws following snows, and the repairs at the Troy Avenue school. To remedy the soft con dition of the ground, small stones will be rolled in the soft gravel and the surface leveled. Specifications have been made for the improvements, which will include the placing of three inches of top soil on the ground in front of the Troy Avenue building for the making of a lawn. The next meeting of the board will be held on March 12, when bids for the work will be received. “Every-Member-Canvass” An “Ever y-Member-Canvass will be inaugurated tomorrow among the members of the Vent nor City Community Church, and meetings will be held at the church house, 5119 Ventnor Ave nue, tomorrow, Friday and Sat urday evenings at 7 o’clock.
