In a June 25 1968 public forum in Decatur Alabama residents propose enlarging and beautifying the boat harbor. They suggest draining water north of the harbor to remove obstacles and extend rip rap to the pumping station, add docking areas and a life guard, and improve park facilities including barbeque pits and a clubhouse.
A letter argues the city might lease the facility to a responsible party, generating monthly income and possibly avoiding future taxes. It urges readers to consider the proposal and share their opinion, signed by R. N. Harris Jr and Raymond E. Balcomb of Portland Oregon.
