Ice skating at Baker Park pool eyed by city officials
City engineers and aldermen consider skating on the Baker Park municipal pool if weather permits. Water would be run into the pool to form a skating surface about 200 by 100 feet with depths from three and a half to seven feet. A nominal ten cent fee and a caretaker would cover expenses. Plans include possible safety measures and a side to side water supply, with a test to determine ice strength and safety.
