There will be another meeting of
the committee on parks Wednesday
evening, April 26, at the City building
and it will be open for those who wish
to be present and state their views re-
garding the parks and Fairgrounds for
the summer. 1t is the hope OF the
committee that there will be present
larger and more representative gath
ering than at the former meeting. Inc
members feel that this is an important
matter and one that means much to
the welfare of the city. The matter Of
nla.ygrounds means the expenditure OF
considerable money and the committee
feels that the citizens should have in
terest enough in the matter to be pres
ent and give their views, not wait I'M
til something has been decided upon
and then come around and kick as is
frequently the case.
