That putting up to the General Manager of the Park Department the duty of reporting to General Council members of the Park Board who miss two consecutive sessions is simply an attempt to keep him in hot water is the charge made by General Mana ger Dan Carey. This duty is pre scribed in the new set of by-laws drawn up by the rules committee of the Park Board, and which is expect ed to be adopted at the next board meeting. Under the charter of the board, a member who fails to attend two meet ings automatically loses his office. The new by-laws put the duty of taking this matter up with Council up to the General Manager. "Why, they are trying to get me in all sorts of a stew and get me at outs with every member of the board," commented Mr. Carey. "There Is also another little catch which provides that no one can have leave of absence without permission of the board. The way the rule is worded, I could not grant any of the park employees ar. hour off without making myself liable, to impeachment. “Regarding the rule providing that no supplies or materials may be pur chased or that any permanent im provement may be made without first getting the permission of the boarJ, this simply places another stumbling block in the way of rapid and eco nomical work. For Instance, the con crete gang was at work at Piedmont Park a few days ago. While It waf there I discovered that a set of con crete steps were needed at one place and Instructed the foreman to build them. This was done at the lowest possible cost, but under this new’ rule I would first be compelled to wal’ until a meeting of the board to get permission for it. The result would be not only delay to the work, but a much greater cost " President J. O. Cochran, of the Park Board, denies that the new’ rule, were drafted with any intention of forcing Carey to resign.
