COMMITTEE PLANS PARK PROGRAM

Small Children to Use Prospect Park; Clifton Reserved for

Sports and Play

A meeting of the special committee of the Sea Cliff Committee on Trees and Parks met with Mayor Ralph Stevenson at the Village Hall on Thursday evening, April 23rd. David N. Maxon and Harold C. Stevens represented Prospect Park; Mrs. An­drew Jackson Smith spoke for Roslyn Park, and Mrs. Walter Scott Tienken represented Clifton Park. Mrs. Wil­liam J. Rennie, president of the Parent-Teacher Association, waa also present as her suggestions regarding the proposed Children's Park, out­lined by Mrs. John MacAdam, chair­man of the committee on Trees and Parks, in consultation with Mr. Max­on last October, were appreciated.

Suggestions for the restoration of Prospect Park, as outlined by Mr. Maxon, were approved and work in the park will start very shortly. Football and hockey sticks are to be prohibited in this park. A sign will be placed there reserving it for the use of small children, benches will be placed for the mothers and sand piles and other attractions are prom­ised the little people by the Com­mittee.

Roslyn Park is to be reserved for the younger children and their games. Those present went on record as condemning baseball and golf played in such close quarters and Mayor Stevenson has instructed the police officers to see that these restrictions are carried out ,

Regarding Clifton Park i t wa# % consensus of opinion that this park should be reserved for tfce sports and play of the children, young men and women of Sea Cliff High School and young people resident in the community. Golf is to be prohibited as highly dangerous and cooperation of the police in this matter has been promised by the Mayor. The Mayor also promised to try to obtain two new refuse receptacles for this park. The Committee appreciates Mayor Stevenson's interest and support and takes this opportunity to express thanks for his cooperation in further­ing the care and beautification of Tie Village.

Statement For nearly fifty years the News

has published, at no cost to the tax­payers, the official minutes of the Village and School Boards, in order that its files may contain an uncolored record of the village administrations.

The business of the budget.adop­tion meeting Monday evening waa usurped by Ex-Mayor Soule with a statement in defense of the Tilley administration in regard to finances. A motion carried four to one, with Mayor Stevenson voting in the nega­tive, authorized the complete state­ment with Mayor Stevenson's reply as part of the minutes of the meet­ing. These statements follow.

Ex-Mayor Soule's Statement An interview attributed to Mayor

Ralph Stevenson and given consider­able publicity in Brooklyn and local papers "placed upon shoulders of the ' past administration responsibility for the greater part of the increase" in the tax rate for 1931.

Three of the members of that Board and constituting a majority of it are also members of the present Board and can speak for themselves regarding this statement.

Arthur Tilley, against whose administration this charge is direct­ed, is dead. I am speaking for him.

Much was made prior to election, and has been made since, of the fact that there remained at the end of the last fiscal year, February 28, 1911, a large amount in unpaid bills. For the enlightenment of Sea taxpayers aa well as of Ma; enson and his Campaign Committee who evidently did not take the trouble to inform themselves, and so have passed out a great deal of misinformation, I will try again to
