If the plans of the Amherst Business
Mens' Association mature, Amherst
will have a public play ground this
summer, which will affinal healthy
and educational recreation for both
young and old. - . -a*   ,
Three sites for this ground are now
ln view. Tbe flats below Milan avenue hill, belonging to F. O. Delbridge,
a lot at the end of Lincoln "Street, belonging to Frank Belden, and the lot
at the end of Harrla street, belonging
to John Ludwig, are the proposed
places.
A committee from the Business
Mens' Association has been looking
over these sites but has not as yet
made a decision.
In the event that the committee
finds a suitable location, a baseball
diamond, football field, and tennis
courts will be made, together with a
great deal of other equipment for the
smaller children. It Is not expected
that all of the work will be done this
summer as it will require a great deal
of time and labor to complete the proposed plans.
The matter of taking up this new
project with the Amherat Board of
Education and with the Alumni Association of Amherst high school has
been left to the play graund committee. This commitee will make a report on their progress with the movement at the next meeting of the association.
