CITY PLANS R|vERFR0NT PARK
City Will Act
Now For Park
In North End
Rouse Pleads for Small
Fairgrounds in City

A park and playground TO be
built along the rivers edge on ST.
Johns street has been formally pro-
posed by Councilman George c.
Benin. Described as spacious
park, fully equipped with all facil-
tiles. the area suggested by the
councilman is said to be ideally
located for the residents in the
north end of the city.
Behm's proposal met with i'm
mediate support from other coun-
cilmen who urged that action be
taken without delay to assure
park for that section of Wyandotte.
Mayor Louis Benin said a special
meeting would be held very soon
at which time the suggestion would
be considered.
Councilman Harry Rouse, how
ever, pointed out that the children
Of Wyandotte need ground this
summer so they may have places to
play other than the streets Of the
city. Two pieces of ground have
already been offered. One is at Al
kali and Eighth street and the
other at Davis and Seventeenth
streets. The city will take immedi-
ate steps to level off these areas
so they may be used this summer.
The plots are said to be ideal for
baseball diamonds.
The Alkali street property was
offered by the Wyandotte Chemi-
Gals Corp, and the Davis street
ground was secured by the Schorr
Grove Civic Improvement Associa-
ton.
