City weighs land buy for Riverside Park expansion
A morning conference of the mayor city controller Park Board and Park Superintendent Power discussed spending 8200 000 to acquire land to add to Riverside Park. The controller opposed new funding, proposing transfers from other park funds and Power was to present feasibility figures this morning to justify reallocations, which would trim park staff. The Park Board indicated no extra money is available beyond existing appropriations, with a potential cut of about 30 160 to cover the land purchase.
