New rooms would permit more accommodation for minor and other ball teams. At present the younger boys have oni{ one room in which to change. In addition the cricket club will need a room. He failed to understand why the Board of Health would sancâ€" tion the present arrangement at the park. A new comfort station could include two dresging rooms, also badly needed, he said. "‘The only alternative is for the city to assume the payments of the floodlight debentures," Mr. Huenergard declared. He felt, if this were done, the Park Board could operate out of the red. Poor Facilities Hugh Rogers, chairman of the Park Board, emphasized the inâ€" adequate sanitary facilities. He said there had been many comâ€" plaints on the lack of facilities at the ball park. â€" With new sewer facilities exâ€" pected to be available in that secâ€" tion, he suggested the city erect a comfort station in the ball park area. Many mothers had comâ€" plained of the lack of facilities for children. A. J.
