BOARD MAY POT
RINKS IN PARKS
Street Skating Forbidden—Har
rison Orders Report On Faci
bility Of Safety Spots
Commissioner Harrison may give
Birmingham kiddies skating grounds
in a half dozen places about the city,
he hinted Wednesday.
A skating rink in every park or the
majority of them, will prevent the
rapidly increasing number of accidents
to children on roller skates who hang
on the back of vehicles, he believes.
It will not cost a great deul, he
said, far less than it costs to take
care ofthe injured tots who know
nothing of the traffic code section
No. 100. The money needed will form
a small part, each year, perhaps, of
the budget devoted to park improve
ments.
The matter will be taken up by
Commissioner Harrison with the park
board, which will meet, he said, early
next week for the adoption of by-laws
and the planning of the year's work.
Commissioner Harrison snid the
rinks would probably be similar to the'
one in Harrison park. East End,
where a sufficiently broad ring sur
rounds the wading pond, and attracts
children on roller skates from many
blocks away.
The,first parks to be so fitted will
be Avondale, Capitol, Green Springs,
East Lake, Owenton and North Bir
mingham. With the completion of
rinks in these sections the other parks
will receive consideration.
City Engineer A. J. Hawkins will
be called upon soon for datu on the
cost and construction of the rinks.
