CITY PLAYGROUND RECORDS BROKEN Paralysis Didn't Affect Attend . anee; How Park Department Spent Its Money Infantile paralysis during the sum mer season just closed, had little or no effect on the attendance of the ctty's playgrounds, according to forecasts of the reports which Supervisor J. K. Staples is now preparing for presenta tion to Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross. All previous attendance records were shattered. The final assembling on Romper Day was barred because of the infantile paralysis edict by State Health Commissioner Dixon but the various playgrounds were crowded throughout the season. In addition to the thirteen regular playgrounds, four evening recreational places were set apart during the past year. This according to park official# was one of tho items which helped in crease the cost of the playground work. Repairs and renovations at most of the play places they contend ed, ate into the maintenance funds at a terrific rate. Among the most cost ly items were: Removal of the Fourth streot play grounds to Reily street and consequent repairing and renovating of the latter place; reconstruction of tennis courts at Emerald street, where at least three feet of "fill" was necessary to support now backstops; on the Twelfth street playgrounds a pipe line to carry water to the upper end of the playgroundds was laid; paths which had been sunk by tho washouts were raised; about 3.000 yards of "fill" were dumped along the Herr street embankment to the north of the playgrounds to pro vide a narrow strip of parkway and walk by which promenaders can over-1 look the recreation spot. This does away with the old "dump" that caused such frequent fires. Sycamore street playgrounds had to be graded and fitted up in good shape. On practical ly every playground new equipment of some kind had to be installed. On the Island, perhaps, the greater ex pense was required. Spring floods had caused serious washouts on the island and the tennis courts —used, by the way, more in proportion than those at Reservoir — had to be resurfaced and refilled, new backstops erected, new nets placed and the whole surfaces cleaned and rolled. The grandstand had to be repaired, too, although the greatest expense was entailed on the running track. The quarter-mile cinder track was cut down to a "sixth." Much of the sodding that had been taken up at the lower end of the track was used on the dry spaces on the river front parks. Hundreds of dollars Incidentally were spent along the river front during the past season although the most impor tant improvement was never even started by Mr. Gross. This is the rip rapping work on the slopes above Hardscrabble. New stairways to the lower walk were built and some fill ing and planting was done, however. The biggest improvement perhaps was the filling with some 2,700 yards of free earth of the lowlands along the wall south of Walnut street. This was planted with grass seed and grain. * Y Today Is the Birthday Anniversary of— > J tUNr V iWr jjjssSjl IRA B.
