Down Town Park Near Paxton Will Be Finished Soon
Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross says work on the South Front street park near Paxton hinges on obtaining fill earth. He notes trees planted last fall survive, but grass and shrubs require ground to level and cover the slag used in the bank. Delays stem from the halted Harris Park school enlargement, but once earth is secured the project will proceed.
