Work on the large lagoon at the southeast end of the Memorial bou- levard is nearing completion and aC- cordins to present plans of the park board, will furnish excellent skating facilities for enthusiasts of th.yt sport during the winter. It will also tend 10 relieve the congestion at the Rockwell park lagoon, which each year has been kept clear Of snow by park employees. II is also probable that the lagoon will be used for bathing purposes during the sum mcr.
 Each winter for the past several years requests have been made to the board of education for permis- sion 10 flood the high school athletic field 10 provide additional skating facilities. Each time such permis- sion has been denied for the reason that it was believed that such a step would make the field soggy and un- fit for baseball and other athletic sports. The digging of the new la Goon will now provide adequate skating space and eliminate the ne- Ccssity Of looking elsewhere.
 The expense involved in the pro- jcct exceeded by q considerable amount the original estimate of the park board but members believe the money well spent. In addition to furnishing additional sport facilities, it will considerably enhance the 1 beauty of the eastern approach to the boulevard.
