Lions Club Deadlock Over Park Management in City Vote
The Lions Club resists Park Commission plans to take control of the playground and yield a $5820 annual city grant. A recreation budget of $40,000 was approved for city playgrounds, while officials consider enlarging programs and possibly building a $20,000 expansion shared by the city and club. Mayor Chamberlain backs the joint expansion as a compromise if management remains with the club.
