Commission for Immediate Inn
provement of Naches Ave.
WOULD HAVE CITY BUY
AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
Realize Lack Of Park Facilities and
Will Stand Sponsor for Building
of System-Referred to Comit-
tee for Action

The Commercial club is to be
sponsor for North Yakimas park
system. At the meeting of the govern
ing board last night it was voted to
ask the city commission for the i'm
provement this year of the parking
strip through Naches avenue and for
the acquisition from time to time Of
properties suitable for parks in other
parts of the city.
The immediate improvements which
the club would have on Naches avenue
consist of leveling and sowing of grass
on the parking strip which runs
through the middle, at least for a
portion of the street; the laying of a
cement sidewalk down the center of
the strip, and the erection of ratings
to protect the grass.
In addition to this, the club will ask
the commission to have the avenue
we'll enough policed to prevent speed
ing of automobiles there, so as 10
make it absolutely safe for children
as we'll as for grown-ups.
Realize Lack, Says Ware
'he members of the governing
board, and members of the club as
well, have realized that the city is
sadly lacking in park facilities said
Secretary Ware last night. 'The club
doesn't expect that such thing as a
park system can be built up in a year
but tie governing board thinks that a
start should be made with the prop
ei 81 that is already available, and
that additional properties SHOULD ~
acquired as fast as possible, in various
parts of the city"
The matter was referred for action
to TIE committee on city interests
consisting OF George B. Holden, d. C.
Reed and G. II. Lum.
