Playground Will Be Instituted In Chautauqua Park
City park commissioners in a regular meeting voted to establish a small extra playground in the extreme north section formerly known as Chautauqua park. Commissioner A C Sherwood was authorized to install a sandbox and buy swing equipment for local children. Also a petition from golfers at Byres Park for better supervision of the public course was partially granted. An extra attendant will guard the take-off and hole No 1 on weekends and holidays to provide orderly play, though funds prevent hiring two more staff. A severely crushed finger was suffered by Mrs Mary Granger when a door at her home in Fonda Iowa blew shut as she passed through.
