Seek Return
Of Park Status

NEW BALTIMORE - Joint
action by members Of the COM
munity's two largest civic or
CARNATIONS got under way Tues
day with the circulation of petit
tions which call for abolition of
the tourist camp during summer
months in the municipal park.
Delegates Of the Civiclub and
the Ugoigo club made plans for
joint action at a committee meet
ing held Monday night at the
Ugoigo club headquarters.
Properly petitioned the city
council is expected to take ac-
ton that will give the. water
front park back to general use
by city residents.
Edgar Lanstra, chairman of
the Civiclub Civic and Project
committee, attended the session
with Earl jackson, Irwin Fritz
and Allen Hurley, all Civiclub
delegates. Clayton Mills, Ugoi-
60 club president, presided.
Other Ugoigo club members par
ticipating were Elmer Skinner,
William Neukirch, Raymond
Keller and Edward Morisette.
In presenting its argument for
joint action in removing the
tourist status at the city park,
the general committee is bring
ing 70 light the fact that the park
was opened to campers during
the years Of the depression when
the city was badly in need Of the
added income.
Conditions that brought about
the use of the park for camp
space no longer exist and IL is
felt that the park should be re-
turned to its original status.
Further, it was pointed on. in
the discussions, there are q rv r.
Der of private tourist camps now
in existence within the New
Baltimore city limits, and trailer
space is available either on or
near the waterfront. Improve.
ments with the opening of the
park again would include land
scaping and the construction of
outdoor cooking ovens.

to appoint men tc fill the three va cancies in the local housing author ity. The groups are asking that a Negro be one of the appointees.
 MT. Driscoll, head of the Water- bury Brass Workers Union, clearly indicated that all efforts will be de- voted to obtaining federal aid under the United States Housing Author ity. It is his belief that the govern ment is anxious to get more housing projects under way, especially in defense manufacturing areas, such as Waterbury.
 Certain groups oppose the plan to get better houses for low income residents, just as they did here pre- viously, said Mi. Driscoll. However, that setback did not discourage those vitally interested in the pro- ject, and efforts to obtain aid will go forward with renewed speed.
 / The U. s. H. A. is separate from the housing section of the national defense administration, under which the 300 dwellings for defense work CTS will be constructed in Water bury. The project sought by MT. Driscoll and the committee is apart from this work.
 An unofficial survey of Water bury streets show there are many houses on some streets in very poor condition. Streets inspected include, Pond, Railroad Hill, South Leonard North Riverside, Bishop, Hawkins, North Elm streets and Phoenix ave- nue,
