Taxpayers Question Scarsdale Park Funding For Athletics
In a letter to the Inquirer residents of Scarsdale question the village’s 1920 bond issue for land bought from Miss Butler for a park and the annual interest and redemption costs. They note one half of the park is leased to School District No. 1 for athletic fields at higher rental, and ask why the entire village bears four thousand dollars plus yearly debt service for a single school. They wonder about the equity of leasing fractions of park land to a civic and philanthropic group while the majority bears the cost. They cite the Scarsdale Woman's Club seeking social facilities for youths and note their disappointment at the setback.
