Work on Park
Drive Stopped

Work on the proposed park drive
way on both sides Of the city resaca
east Of Eighteenth street was stopped
last week after a few hundred yards
Of clearing had been completed on
the north side. It is understood no
further work will be done unless
recommended by the park committee.
Under the agreement BY which that
section of the resaca and right Of way
for a drive on each side would be
transferred to the city for park pur-
poses the city would not be permitted
to use the resaca for the drainage of
storm waters. This would necessitate
another outlet for such drainage.
II is understood that a meeting of
the park committee, of which Judge
F. W. S~eabury is chairman, will be
held in the near future to discuss the
city's park problem and to make
recommendations.
