Park Site Sought for City’s 160 Acre Riverside Tract
A committee of about twenty five business leaders toured a 160 acre tract between river bluffs and the U S L right of way to study its suitability as a city park. They noted flat areas, a high ground corner with a spring, and potential water supply. Some favor purchasing from the Indian owner for 450 and then acquiring government rights, others consider river access by road or a water route via a gasoline launch. The group thanked the contributors who provided carriages and reported broad support for accessibility and natural beauty.
