Honorable Mayor and Council:
The program of the Recreation De-
partment for the fiscal year now in
Progress includes such activities as
volley ball. basket ball, boxing. check
ers, ping pong, and group games to
be played in the various public school
gymnasiums between the hours of six
L. NJ. and eleven T.. M. The Board of
Education has very graciOusly granted
permission Ia use the Labadie, Wash
ington and Garfield School facilities
for these purposes without any charge
whatever, and the program il now in
progress.
The Recreation Commission received
assurance from the WPA authorities
that they would provide supervision
for these activities, which would leave
only the provision Of incidental para
phernalia, a minor item, for this Com
mission
1t now devel0pes that "a quickening
of economic forces aud other cOndi-
tons beyond the control of this Com
mission will result in the very sharp
curtailment Of the assistance we had
depended upon from the WPA and we
are forced To come TO your Honorable
Body for advice and assistance
A year ago we had the services of
10 WPA supervisors. Today We have
two. We estimate il will cost approx
mately $500 per week for Is weeks to
provide supervision for these activities
which furnishes entertainment for up
wards Of over 1000 citizens per week.
In other words the cost is approx
nately 1Ac per week per person.
We come To your Honorable Body at
this time TO seek your advice a. 20
whether il would be better 10 continue
these activities or TO aba ndOn them.
Needless TO say we believe the expense
involved is infinistimal in proportion
To the entertainment and benefit deriv-
ed therefrom.
If you concur in our opinion, we
would respectfully request AUTHORIZE
ton from your Honorable Body 10 pre-
coed, and instruction TO the City Clerk
10 place the necessary finds in our
budget for the present fiscal year.
Attached is q schedule OF supervi-
sion needed at the various gymnasiums
Respectfully submitted,
Chem Mcfarland,
Secretary II Recreation Commits
sion.
