At a cost of close to $800,000, Seattle created this little park in the business district. When Dilling was mayor, the council passed an ordinance to place the city garage in the park. Dilling vetoed it. A few days ago the council again passed the ordinance, six voting for the bill, three against. The counciimen claim the park ts the ideal spot for the garage, to house the city’s 16 automobiles. Opponents of the move contend that it would destroy the city's most effective park Mayor Cotterill now has the ordinance under consideration, te. es ee A day in “Dilling park.” As early as 9 o'clock the sun begins to warm the benches. handlers?
