League Voters urge full time Muscatine recreation program
After three meetings this week the Muscatine League of Women Voters endorsed a full-time city recreation director and program. They estimate costs around 40000 and plan to speak to local organizations to push recreation facilities for all ages. The group reviewed park acreage and past efforts, noted a stalled recreation commission, and cited budget figures from 1963 and 1968.
