Proposed Park Plan Drives Platt Plot Purchase Price
Select Councilman Vaughan moves a resolution directing public works to obtain a price on the Platt plot at the Roaring Brook bridge end for park use. He notes its trees and shade ideal for a central Feranton park, as other sites prove costly or lacking in natural advantages. Estimates range from 45000 to 65000, with 15000 cited as the estate’s prior land price for the Roaring Brook approach. The plan would authorize purchase in a second bond ordinance.
