The suggestion, however, brought agreement in the San Mateo wty council that park should bo established at Coyote Point, not'on the north where Pacific City once stood, but on the heavily wooded point itself and especially along the south side. Members of the council decided Iff call "a of. representa- iG-es the three cities before proceeding farther. Referred to Chamber.

Burlingamu city council act more conservatively. It iis- cijased the wisdom, of the wooded -point instead of Pacific took no action except toss the problem over to the chamber of 'commerce with' request for p.iivice. Members of the Son Mateo council made their decision at an executive session last night before the regular meeting. Mayor Simmen declared Pacific City was too much exposed to heavy winds. He said he had long wanted a park and swimming beach at Coyote Point, whero the shore is sheltered from the wind.

Might Interest County Other members of the council insisted that a portion of the wooded knoll be made a part of the proposed park. It was suggested that San Mateo, Burlingame and Hillsborough unite in the project acquire the land and jointly maintain a large recreational area, there, adjoining the.municipal golf links. If the three'cities could not get together on the plans, the county might be induced to acquire the property and maintain county park, it was said. The proposal, as the cQuncilmen talked it over, would be for the purchase of half of the Coyote Point land. There 66 in the tract.

Then sufficient additional acreage for park and playground purposes wonld be available to the south and near the golf course, which would naturally become a "part of the general park scheme. No information as to the price at which the Coyote Point property is held was available last night. BurlingaaM Council The BorKngarae council record as favoring consideration of the proposal but.referred.the proposition to the chamber of commerce for thorongh mvesiigmtiofi. The chamber also was to inquire into the possibility of adding Coyote Point; Councilmen were agreed that before the beach would suitable for general recreational use some provision must be, made for protection from prevailing winds. The Howard Estate company through Casey, offered the Pacific City property to any or of the three cities at $1000 an acre amounting to for the entire-property.

Situated on the northwest aide of Coyote Point near Bayahore highway, the beach attained popularity ten years ago when the Pa cific City -company invested some 9400,000 in an amusement parV. Not included in the offer is the wooded portion of Coyote Point This, said Councilman Allen 7 Hunt, is, the principal objection to the proposition.

The artists admitted hearing these reports, were unable to furnish definite information. Crosby said he would go to San Francisco again to question others in the art colonies. He also revealed he was attempting to locate one of Cravens' women friends who was said to be in a iiospital.

This woman, Crosby believes, may be able to furnish valuable information about he ail critic's private life. He also was seeking to learn the identity of numerous other women whose first names were -found in studio.

According to police, Mrs. Felton her daughter, and Eldridge T. Spencer, San Franciaco architect, viailec Cravens' studio last Thursday when Mrs. Felton became concerned ovei his absence. They summoned police who forced a window in order to search the apartment, Mrs.

Felton explained she had called alone the previous day to take Cravens to her Los Gatos ranch.

Miss Prime asked Cravens to criticise a manu script, and wrote, "Then I'll bother-you again." Coroner Crosby saiij he consiil-. ered jealousy as a possible murder motive because of the number of Cravens' women friends. "There are a number of mysterious circumstances in connection with Cravens' death that I want to nvestigate fully before abandoning he murder theory," said Croaby.
