The chancellor and his foreign min-

up in the words:

determination to force the question

Germany's position in this respect be
fixed quite as indolibly as that of her
ultimate reparation obligations. This
phrase of the present situation is
being stressed as representing an im-

Blanche M. Barnes. who made the
offer through the Kiwanis Club to
the city. title to some ten acres of
woodland for a. park site. the land
being located from Murray street
to the \V‘olf Pit Hills.
Mr. \V'heeler read the letter that
Mrs. Barnes wrote in which she said
that she believed that the site would
be an ideal one for girl or boy scouts
to camp, or for a picnic ground. and
that the only strings on the 01er-
were that the city see that the land
is protected. This to mean that the
trees-and shrubbery, etc.. on it were
not cut down and destroyed.
Mayor Barton was authorized to
appoint a. com ttee. to coasist of
two members of he council together

bers of the Kiwanis Club. to investi-

Downs Pleads for Police
Jobs for Ex-Soldiers
Commander LeRoy D. Downs. of
Frank C. Godfrey Post, No. 12. Amer-
ican Legion. appeared before the
members of the council at their od-
Journed meeting last night. and put
in a. plea, that applications of exacer-
vice men of the city be considered
when it came to the appointment of
supernumerury policemen. stating
that it was not generally knbwn that
such appointments were to be made,
and that there were a number of ex.
service men here who were entitled to
preference for the positions.
As a. result of the brief speech made
by Commander Downs. the appoint-
ment of the supemumersrlee. which
had been slated for last night. has
been held over for at least one more
meeting. so that ex-aervice men's ap-
plications my be received by tho
council and police committee.
There are between fifty and seven.
ty-tlvo applications already in the
hands of the police committee, ond
there are eirht appointments to be
made. (Of the number rcooivod many

There was some short discudon
about the matter. after George P.
Ellis had spoken inbehalf of the
project saying that the city had undo
mistakes in the past by not widening
Wall street sooner; by not widen“
North Main street before the Jacoby
block was built; and by not widening
Washington street. before the railroad
bridge was built.
Mayor Barton said that it had boon.
estimated that it would cost about
325.000 for the- work of widen!“
Main street. of which about two thirds
would be laid on the property owners
whose property would be affected. tho
city to pay the other third.
Councilman James moved that tho
necessary legal steps be taken to
widen the street. which was seconded
by Councilman Keeler. Councilman
Mills wanted to know what than
were. and was told.
Councilman Brown wanted to know
whether the project of. widening
Washington street was to be dropped
in favor of the Main street matter,
"but received no reply. It was voted to
hold the public hearing on May 1st.
, Later in the evening Councilman
Brown again brought up the matter
of the widening of Washington street.
and it was voted to hold ' a. public
hearing on May 8th at. 8 o'clock.
