merit and the financial arrangements
:which have been made. i

if the three playgrounds had been
opened it would have been necessary
to raise several hundred dollars ads
dltional. in spite of the fact that over
8300.00 had been collected. When.
‘however, the playgrounds were or-
dered kept closed by the Board oi
Health. a considerable little had al~
Iready elapsed and some expenses had
been incurred. it was not until the
20th of July that itvwas positively
known that the playgrounds could no:
he opened at all and the apparatus
had been set up at each one of the
three playgrounds and the Director
'who had been engaged was obliged to
‘hold himself at the disposal of tits
association. He had given
through the month of July in prepay-
ii'ng the playgrounds for the opening;
and in doing much in connection with;
’the publicity side of the movement.
’ The association was, therefore. obliged;
in fairness to pay him for onehalf his.
summer. if he had not been willing
'to cooperate with the association he
might legally have obtained all of his
promised summer salary. Under these,
circumstances, the association deemei
it best to keep the balance of the;
fund. less than $200.00 as a nest-eggi
for the fund for the summer of 19l'i.j
Those who have made pledges of con-t
tributlons when needed are urged to
keep their pledge for next year's work
and the association hopes that when,
the playgrounds‘can be opened they?
will have the united support of the;
public. it appreciates deeply the many-
contributions and offers of help and
trusts that the interest aroused will
contlnue into the future.
