John F. Sullivan's park plan for the meadowland section lying between Kew Gardens and Corona will be among the chief topics of discussion when the New York Park Association meets in executive session Friday to discuss the project.

This was indicated today by Laurence Craner, executive secretary of the association. The meeting will be held at 40 Wall St. The association is expected to present its stand on the at the public hearing before the Board of Estimate, Oct. In the meanwhile Queens civic leaders hammered away at the project. Citing the condition of city financial affairs, they were unanimous in their criticism.

Haarmeyer Urges Delay "I don't think well of the plan," said Henry 1 Haarmeyer, president of the Central Queens Allied Civic Council, "and think that the city should not expend money or make appropriations for luxuries at this time. The matter might well be deferred for a year or two in view of the present distressing situation of the city's finances." John F. Finn, president of the Queens Borough Home Owners, was equally emphatic in declaring his opposition to the plan. "Until the city can see the financial situation in a clearer light and the depression is lifted, I think it would be very unwise for the city to undertake the proposition of purchasing expensive property for park purposes this particular Finn declared. "The money spent in this manner would eventually be charged up against the home owner who is already burdened with heavy taxation.

While there is no doubt that the development of the dumps and other vacant property proposed within the area of the 725 acres would be a good thing for Queens, the matter should be laid over for at least a year. We must keep taxes down and money spent now will only mean a larger burden for the small home owner. So let us hold the matter over for the future when things will be improved, we Finn added. "We have been making a study of the proposal since Commissioner Sullivan made his recommendation to the Board of Estimate and expect go into the matter fully next Friday when a report will be made," Cramer said today. George S.

Halleran, secretary of the Flushing United Association, said that the proposal would also be discussed at tonight's meeting of his organization. Schietlin Approves Plan Charles Schietlin, an active member of the association, said in expressing his personal opinion of the matter, that the proposal was a good one and would do much towards "cleaning up" sections of Corona and Flushing. "Who knows what will happen to this area within the next five years? A huge industrial center might be laid out in the Corona meadows that would be a detriment to both Flushing and Corona. The city should take it, while property is still moderately priced and not wait until it is partially developed and huge prices are asked." Schietlin said.

P. Front While there are still a few smouldering embers of disagreement among the Republicans of the borough, it is expected that any existing differences will be submerged until after Election Day. In the meantime all of the efforts of Republican Leader Warren B. Ashmead will be concentrated on endeavoring to carry Queens for Hoover and the State and county ticket. While Harvey, according to observers at Buffalo, was never sure of the votes of the Queens delegation and he himself is understood to have favored Colonel Donovan from the start, it is believed that his withdrawal from active opposition to the up-State nominee will do much toward avoiding threatened break between his supporters and leaders of the G.
