Alderman Warren Smith and the grounds and buildings committee push for project inclusion in the La Cr Fo plan under the Ferry proposal while property owners ask $12,000 for adjoining land valued at $4,150. The board considers a $10,500 repayment from the 1945 fund and awaits Education Board input before final action.
