The establishment of a skating pond in Stanley Quarter park this winter is deemed impractical by the park commissieners, according to a communication sent by them to the common council in regard #o the resolution recently adopted by that body to have a secction of the park flooded. The recent dry spell, while not immediately serious, has causel the authorities to conserve all the water possible, and it s estimatel that several million gallons would be required for a slzable skating pond There is also the matter of guitabl dams. The communication the contractors is making good pro- gress on the park and that next year there will be a swimming pool, skat ing pond and other sporting facii- ties.
