Topographical Map Planned for New River Park Bid Approved
Beckley City Council approved Feigley to prepare a topographical map of the 21 acre New River Park site for 3750 to 4000 dollars.

Council also endorsed a storage building at City Park and accepted a low bid of 3100 dollars from W. W. Smoot for construction and 15 dollars for architectural work and inspection.
