Mayor Curley defends ground on Ward 19 playground funds
Mayor Curley reads a Finance Commission communication urging withdrawal of a $4000 request for Ward 19 playground work. He notes he warned in 1915 that $200,000 should suffice, but rising material and labor costs, driven by the war, pushed actual costs higher and he now believes the extra $4000 would finish the project. The mayor says he is glad the project can be completed within the appropriation if the additional funds are approved.
