Bath Urged to Build an Athletic Field for City Recreation
An editorial urges Bath to adopt a new athletic park at Kimball field funded by local donations and civic groups. It cites past WPA spending on Kelley Field, wartime travel limits, and rising municipal recreation costs, calling for $7,500 from U S C and substantial support from Y M C A and Playgrounds. A $500 gift from a public spirited donor could start the drive.
