Marion Council Backs Park Lake Plan near Squaw Creek
The Marion City Council unanimously approved a 127 acre lake project at Squaw Creek Park southeast of Marion. A May 8 bond issue would let Linn County borrow 1 million dollars for construction, backed by 4 cents per $1,000 assessed value. The county conservation board has 181,000 dollars reserved and 250,000 more from revenue sharing. The council also opposed abandoning the Milwaukee Railroad line through Marion, urging service to continue through the industrial area east of town. The Hearty Appetite cafe advertises Sunday hours 11 am to 4 pm.
