The Water Board intimated'that the cost ofsu h an extension would total approximately $600.00 and before they would go ahead, they wished an expression from the council that in the future there will be a sum suf'- ficient in the budget of the city to properly care for the irrigation and the gener 1 care of the plants. Councilman Lamb pointed out that it would require extra help ( but in his estimation this assurance should be given. In the discussion that fo1- ?1, lowed among the counc ilmen, it deve loped that it might be possi bl e ,for the Superin- tendent of Parks, Mr. Sullivan, to use VVPA help. Mr. Sullivan reported that at the !present time he had two men working, but he had been ordered by the Park Board to complete a wall before doing anything else and therefore the men were not available for watering and caring for the plants. Mr. Carlson suggested that this matter be taken up with the Board and he was positive that it could be satisfactorily handled. Motion was made and seconded that the proposal of the ~:~ter board be ac- cepted on the condition that the Park Board guarantee that the help necessary for th proper care of the park be had and it was so ordered.
