Le Mars aims for 1978 recreation bond and plans
The 1978 outlook in Le Mars centers on a recreation bond issue with voters on Saint Valentine’s Day deciding on new facilities. Proposals include nine holes for the golf course, an outdoor pool, a baseball complex, and tennis courts. A recreation committee led by Rev. Everett Staats will explain needs, while a park board member-elect discusses an indoor recreation complex with indoor courts. The city may also consider using or paying for operation of the junior high pool if opened for public use, and the decision will hinge on utilities and operating costs.
