Civic Center to Move Into New Quarters by Sept First
Garden City officials approve remodeling of the former library at Main and Cedar to house the Civic Center by September. Plans by architect firm Lyman Jones Cobb and Benson call for a ground level entrance and lobby, new restrooms, and two activity areas with pool tables. Bids expected soon within a $10,000 remodeling fund. A move to restore parallel parking in the first two blocks of E Fulton east of Main was defeated narrowly. The adjacent alley behind the city library will be paved. Community supporters praise progress at Stevens Park and anticipate further improvements.
