Acts 10 Re-estabIish
Recreation Program

Hyattsville City Council voted
last night to initiate steps to re-
establish the recreation program
that was dropped by the Prince
Georges County commissioners.
In a resolution offered by Coun-
Gilman Jesse S. Baggett and adopt
ed unanimously. the Council de-
cided to appoint a committee of
three to coordinate and develop
"a program to bind the cities, towns
and civic organizations of the
metropolitan area together in the
move.
These groups each would be
asked to contribute q substantial
sum toward furtherance of the
program.
In adopting the resolution. the
councilmen said the county COM
missioners ''negligently and ILL
advisedly" made no appropriation
for a recreation program in adopt
ing the county budget last Friday.
The county recreation board had
asked $63. 900.
Mayor Caesar L. Aiello said he
thought it proper that Hyattsville,
the largest city in the county with
its own recreation areas, should
initiate the move. It was pointed
out that Hyattsville already had
provided funds for a recreation
program, believing it would be
sponsored by the county.
