public park measures have been reported upon with what are declared to be re markable amendments that have not been explained was a development in the Legislature yesterday Both measures were prepared by public spirited citizens to pave the way for an extensive park I system in Indiana especially in the sand dune region along Lake Michigan but i somebody not representing any public spiritd interests got busy and tv obtained amendments which cripple the I measures and if enacted into law they I apparently will work serious injury to the future of the park movement i Both bills were Introduced by Repre i tentative Southard at the request of a i number of public park organizations which have been working for a compre i henslve park system of Indiana They I A' were especially anxious that measures I should be enacted into law which would provide the way for an extensive park I system along Lake Michigan The dis tiiet from Hammond to Michigan City covers twenty six miles

would be desir able and to that end it was provided that the government be empowered to icv the gift of park lands the idea being that I vr the ederal government would co operate I in developing them as in other states pt But thereby hangs the tale Both bills have been reported upon but with the that the United States gov I ernment should be stricken from the bill i In other words if the bills are passed as amended the government of Indiana re Ejects what would most certainly be the I assistance of the ederal government in developing a most comprehensive park I system I Ti I nA Tv4(ti rr

purenase lands ot sumcient extent to tify their undertaking the enterprise all No town lot sales could be held Deterring in Effect So the onlything to be done was to put big dividends against park developm ent 4 and stop the park movements by dropping Uncle Sam from those who can hold park lands Whatever may be said this is cer tain the united states was dropped from the bills Gary of the United States Steel Corporation has offered a large sum of money to assist in developing the park Bystem if the national government can be induced to co operate it is said This assistance will be lost if the bills are passed as amended Uncle Sam apparently can be induced 'to co operate in his most substantial way if he is given the chance but if the amendments are not killed certain finan cial
