Along the river front for more than
mile is a beautiful park thickly STUDIO
with cottonwoods, box elders and vi
lows, as well as many smaller varieties \
trees and shrubs. This park has recep,
ly been trimmed and cleaned up and /,

The river at this point is as broad am
beautiful as Broadwater bay. There an
