CALL FOR PROBABLE COST
A

ST.-
Pledge te itippert the proposed Scs
quNCcntenninl wns mode yesterday by
City Council which also discussed plans
for financing the movement In its early
Stages. It wns decided te nsk officials
eTf the centennial association te Indi
cate the amount of money needed for
1022 and 1023, se that nn electoral
lean may be voted en at the polls next
November.
Considerable discussion en the fair
developed when Mr. Wcglcln announced
that a public hearing would be held
next Wednesday afternoon te consider
the ordinance cendemnlni: land en the
lower end of the Schuylkill for the fair.
.Mr. Hall said he heartily Indorsed
the movement te eliminate the nnlsnnre
existing en the lower end of the Schuyl-
Cost About $7,000,000
"He added, however, that thn
S condemnation should be financed
I 'manner that would net tie up
i ceuncilmanlc borrowing capnclty.
i said the land would cost nbntif
j 000,000 and that it should be paid for
t by electoral lenn.
1 "We urc nil behind the fair project."
J be said, "but we must tnke care te
i flnanre It in n manner thnt will net be
harmful te the city."
Mr. Goffney wnrncd thnt the con
1 riemnatlen of land costing millions of
i dollars became nn immediate charge
t against the limited ceunciunanlc bor ber
, rowing capacity and said that there
was danger that the limit would be
exceeded If the promiscuous condemna
tion of land were net checked.
"Caution sometimes saves at the
i spigot and loses at the bunghelc." re--J
vplied Mr. Weglein. "We certainly de
"" net want te repeat the experience of
-J the city en land condemnation for the
j Parkway. Thcre dllaterlness en the
part of the city cost the municipality
i two or three times as much for the
laud as it would have had te pay had
r U acted promptly. The city waited
and as a result values skyrocketed with
the city paying the bill."
Mr. Goffney criticized the Mayer for
fv advertising projects te condemn land,
tying that land sharks rushed in te
1 1 speculate with the land the city sought
te laxe.
"A little co-operation will save the
city hundreds of thousands of dollars,"
be said. "Property along the Park
way that sold for $20,000 a few
Benths age Is new bringing $00,000."
Mr. LImeburner said that hundreds
of options were taken en property along
the Parkway long before Council ever
knew that the fair was te be en the
-park site.
!It was then that Mr. Hall suggested
tbat Mr. Weglein ask the directors of
the fair te fix the probable cost of
' financing the project until the end of
1923 se that Council could provide the
funds by means of an electoral lean.
