I'll, realize that IL can be made
great deal more.
The Twin Cities. being inland, are
10 nature denied the pleasures of wa.
,o- snarts during the hot and uncom-
so-,ahle summer months. We believe
,bat CRYSTAL Lake Park can very
sronomjcally be made to supply that
which nature has denied us. We also
heneye that the citizens OF our COM
munity would appreciate and extend
,bair financial support to provide
o,ber entertainment in the park.
other communities smaller than ours
have overcome these handicaps and
| there is no reason to believe that we,
| also. cannot accomplish the same
| things in the Twin Cities.
Our community has many manu-
mepfs 10 men and women who have
passed on, who have left very con-
rre,e examples of their love for the
Mace of their nativity. They have
made this better place to live in than
II was when they were young and 1t
is regretful but truthful to say, that
the present citizens are altogether
too much inclined to take these mon
uments and expressions of love as a
matter OF fact than to recall the no.
Bile impulse of the donors. We be-
leye that we have many such noble
citizens at the present time who are
willing to lend their time and finan.
cial support for the same purpose of
making the Twin Cities a better place
to call home. We believe that If a
group of citizens would give their at
tention 10 the lack of Fairgrounds,
and realize that Crysal Lake Park is
the logical playground for the peo-
pie OF the Twin Cities, that this can
he made one OF the best parks In the
State of Illinois.
With these thoughts uppermost in
our minds, we, the members of local
labor unions of the Twin City Fed
Grafton of Labor. desire to offer the
following resolution to the Urbana AS
sociation of Commerce and the Ur-
bana Park Board.
A Resolution.
Whereas, the recreational grounds
Of the Twin Cities are inadequate and
nadequately equipped to meet the
growing population of the Twin Cities,
and
Whereas. Crystal Lake Park is the
logical park for expansion and equip
ment and with comparatively small
expenditures this equipment and ex-
pansion can be provided, therefore
he il
Resolved, that the Twin City Fed
Grafton OF Labor, through the local
labor unions comprising its member
snip, petition the Urbana Association
OF Commerce and the Urbana Park
Board to form committees to devise
ways and means for improving Crystal
Lake for swimming purposes, that the
proper houses and other structures
be prepared for the furnishing of
bathing suits and other equipment
necessary, that instructors be em-
ployed for the profession OF the pub
nc while engaged in this pastime, and
mat the public be asked to pay for
Inls service as per cost determined
oy the persons who shall have the re-
sponsibility of the undertaking. And

Resolved. that these organizations
s'So provide musical entertainments
