coilduct of th6 earks and playp•ounds.
T believe that these departments should be
placed uner the control of the Beard of Education,
which enolid be in full control without interference
of any kind and with the full right to expend 'any money
appropriated for these purposes. I shall gladly ap-prve
an Ordinance roealin the Ordinance establislri the
Recreation Commission, if it includes in its terms
placin these activities in the care of the School De-
