: | GIVE EM THE AX MR. MAYOR! ~— ee HE park Skea says it's with the port system.’ The Seattle park board has convicted itself more than once of being out of sympathy with the city itself, and with its people It was out of sympathy with the playgrounds system when it planned to abolish playfields and playhouses and instructors, so there might be another piece of boulevard built, perhaps, with the money thus “saved.” It was out of sympathy with the demands of 85 per cent of the population of the city when it refused to furnish adequate music ar- rangements for other parks on the same ba: as it has provided for band concerts for Volun- teer park, in the automobile neighborhood. So it isn’t strange that it is now out of sym- pathy with the port system, and vents its un- sympathetic attitude even against the roof-gar- den because it happened to be built by the port. “out of sympathy 3&1. 0 HO are these members of the park board who thus arrogantly set up their own nar- row prejudices against the greater good of the community? OTTO ROSELEAF, CHARLES F. MUN- DAY, R. M. KINNEAR, GEORGE B. LAMP- ING AND ERASTUS BRAINERD—these are the five members of the board. Only one of these men, Erastus Brainerd; has ever been connected with any serfous effort in any movement looking towards a_better- ment of community conditions in this city. The others have been successful—in the ac- cumulation of money and the automobile point of view. But they have no common thought with the average citizen. OSELEAF is a self-satisfied contractor. MUNDAY is a corporation lawyer. KINNEAR is a landed capitalist. LAMPING is a bond man, an ex-adjutant general of the national Have you ever heard of any of these taking any leading part in any big question affecting the city’or state? Erastus Brainerd is the exception. If his type were in control of the park board, there wouldn't -be such general dissatisfaction with the work of that body. * * * * T HERE is no getting away from it—the pres- ent park board is out of sympathy with the public. It will voluntarily build a $1,300 music shell in Volunteer park, but won't spend a nickel for a children’s fieldhouse in Ballard if it can help itself. It won't supply a bench or a flower pot for Seattle’s only public roof-garden, but it is will- ing to spend $1,500 to decorate some cluster light poles. : Why does Mayor Gill retain this kind of a board? It is not very consistent with those stirring campaign words: “I want the bands to play in the parks. I want music for the people and play- grounds for the children.” GIVE ’EM THE AX, MAYOR. MR.
